Re: 'Stupid Trump'
Re his so called phone call to Australias PM. How did the Media get such a story. If they listened in they broke the law, so who gave them all the low down on such, or is it a figment of someones imagination. If anyone close to either figure was close to either man, I would imagine they are close to retirement in whatever position they hold. To have a wire tap one must get a court order, hands up those who spilled the proverbial beans. JS

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
I have noticed that the petition to ban Donald Trump from the UK keeps getting mentioned about the debate that is tobe held in parliament due to the fact that it got nearly 2 million signatures.At the same time there is never a mention for the petition to allow Donald Trump into the UK which also has to be debated in parliament due to the fact that this petition raised 330 thousand signatures,both petitions should be given equal status.
If you go to this map and click on the bottom all areas can be visited to see how many votes came from a particular area.

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
Wow there are nearly 2 million petition signatories in the UK who don't want Donald J Trump to visit our beloved 'Brenda'-as the rest of the Royals refer to her behind one's back of course- (HM the Queen).
The UK pop.is c.65 million so I make that,er ....another 63 million who either DO want him to visit or (probably) don't give a damn.
As for John Bercow (or is that BERK- ow) ,what a pompous self-opinionated little Speaker of the House of Commons he is for presuming that the majority of us will agree with him and not allow him to speak in Parliament.(Never mind that other despots like a Chinese premier and the Romanian Ceaucescu have done so) ,and for even presuming that the House of Lords will agree with him.I'm afraid that's the end of his career,but if you do support him you might be cheered by the fact that whatever happens he will still have his reputed £1 million pension pot to cushion the blow......Reader.gif

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
Is he being advised well ?
Trump confesses that at the start of his presidency he has been surprised by "the size, the magnitude of everything".
He is used to firing people.
Recently judges, why not his PR team.
May help ?

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
The position of speaker of the house.
Prior to the removal of Chrales 1st at Whithall in 1649 the King had been head of the parliament.
The speaker was intrduced after the return of Chrales 2nd to represent the monarch. But he no longer had any say in the parliament and was there only to control proceedings of the day. He is allowed to vote if a casting vote is required to end a draw.
