Making the news today....

There you go Ti, spoiling a simple, yet cunning, plan with the global corporate realities of modern Western capitalism....
 
Darn it, back to the drawing board!

Morning MrJ,
I wonder if they like cheese slices and chocolate in Iran?
The ayatollah must be looking on at how NK seems to be mugging the UN and US off right now and rubbing their hands together.
A paranoid madman with nukes is one thing......
An expansionist, hardline, Islamic nation with global "messianic" designs already developing nukes and ICBM's is quite another prospect.

I wish people would be clearer in their posts. 

 

Are you meaning NK or Trump? How did we end up with a reality tv star of dubious morals, ethics and intelligence as Commander in Chief of one of the worlds largest nuclear powers?

 

I suppose it could have been worse, the writers could have elected to use Krusty the Clown or Mr Burns in that episode instead

I suppose it could have been MUCH, MUCH, worse, the writers could have elected to use Hilary Clinton in that episode instead

There Gary, tweaked that for you. [emoji41]

Of all the terrible crimes in this world, altering someone's post like that is one of the worst, not funny or clever.

 personally I don't have an axe to grind, leaning left or right. But I can't think of anyone less suitable for the job.

 

 

Well, on second thoughts, maybe Wayne Rooney would be slightly less suitable.

I agree. Hard to believe that out of 300 million people he's the best of the bunch.
Or as my American wife says, perhaps he's the only one crazy enough to want the job.

Still prefer him to Hillary or Obama though

Still wondering how all this is going to pan out.

To be fair, that's four people in the entire armed forces (at this moment in time). What may more to the point is that of 71 proscribed organizations, one is National Action, one's Basque and the remainder are almost all Islamic. Only read through quickly, but the list is here  https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/612076/20170503_Proscription.pdf

 

Do we hear of every arrest that the police make of members of these other groups, or only after a terrorist attack? I don't know, I'm just asking.
