  1. Don't think they'll have much impact negatively on the UK. We're a key strategic partner especially as most of the US air force is built here via BAE for example. If you want to argue food, well yes unless it's the same standard. The EU however is very protectionist yet want to milk the USA for defense, same with Canada, put in more % and Donald will say fair enough as wasn't it like 75% of NATO funding?.
  2. What a load of utterly disjointed crock. Do you really think manufacturing abroad benefits the people in the American factories?. Trump putting a tariff of a cheaply made product makes it more expensive than manufacturing at home, so manufacturers like deere/ford etc will return manufacturing to the factories they closed down to save a few bucks.
  3. And why not look at why he had a barney with Mexico, most vehicles are now made there most big agri machinery and plant moved there under Joe. John Deere closed like half a USA factory last month, so I can't blame him to want American companies back ?.
  4. You say that, but a lot of our industry land rover for example relocated not due to the wages but due to the EU funding. They had a massive fund, effectively paid for a brand new factory to be setup and moved at practically zero cost. Land rover, Cadbury and a long list of others used it.
  5. Maybe they're the same people who work part time in the M25 roadworks?
  6. Malmö was a perfect example, it's not because of urbanisation. It's because a lot of unsavoury types moved in around the war in Bosnia, same with most towns around Stockholm. Knife violence wasn't a thing here until the 90s, back then we still had the crays and such, with petty crime being just low stuff. Explain acid attacks then, without migrants.
  7. Why not also end that birthright like Donald. Unless you're a citizen no passport, the old dog born in a stable doesn't make it a horse argument.
  8. One has to wonder the logic, so Brexit =more migrants. So if that is true why isn't Italy, France, Spain and all the other EU countries deporting them back home once they are within their borders?. Logically if you find a migrants you arrest and deport, not let them head to Dover and spend 10k on a dingy to the land of milk and honey. Or closer to your home, go have a walk around Malmö and ask yourself if you felt safe.
  9. AA family cover was 230, granted NFU threw breakdown in as part of the truck insurance. Not sure about larger vehicles prices such as your passion waggon 🙂
  10. Blair was pretty much the sea change moment politically speaking, thatcher & Kinnock were much like Reagan. Of their time, more old school if you will and all three remembered the war. Blair was the start of new wave politics and ushered in the whole sofa meeting bs.
  11. We've argued this before, politics became these shades of grey around the time of tony. Before tony, politicians generally worked their way through business or in the labour party up through the unions stooges. Which gave them more a hard nosed reality of life, now most politicians college/uni/advisor so no real experience of say 3 jobs and studying etc. Trump and co, are yes dirty but earned their business spurs, you can argue the morals but you get the idea. Give him a chance, as our reality is depressing in the UK.
  12. So in that prat Vince going to stop funding the labour party or was that just to make his divorce cheaper ?
  13. I think we all know I'm somewhere in the middle and pragmatic, personally I think he'll reset a lot of the stuff that's happened over the last 30 years and return things to common sense. All this loony he's going to burn the world is codswallop, bring manufacturing back and it's made better and with less environmental issues isn't that what you'd prefer ?. Build it here within our rules and regs or china where the rules are/what rules and what's copyright hahaha.
  14. If you want to really depress yourself about the stupidity of people, look at why IQ tests were invented and why its illegal for a USA citizen with an IQ below 83 to join the army. Discourse and discussion is fine, it's just the constant oh he's a bad man from some sides that gets irritating, the world can't operate on a he without sin casts the first stone. I've used the analogy before, it's always a choice between a douche and a turd sandwich.
  15. By your same criteria, 90% of western governments are more or less melted into the brick wall. And why did that feel like reading a meaningless political commentary, you know the ones that never seem to get election result guesses correct. Where's that South park huffing on your own farts meme.
  16. Everything is fine for a log burner as long as it's seasoned. Huffing and smoking your own meat are probably best avoided on arb arisings.
  17. I'm guessing useful for Molotov types things. Or more likely, black market selling for untraceable cash and then buying more useful weapons or stashing for the next round of fighting or hotels in Dubai/UAE. Bit like the pallets of USA dollars that went missing in Iraq.
  18. They've changed the under wrighter to Tokyo marine about 2 years back, so maybe they've got a better handle on the market compared to Gallagher.
  19. It doesn't suit his narrow world view. I get the impression he only wants to be ruled by pious types that have never done a thing, like a world of multiple Dali Lama types, where they meditate for 23 hours a day. But sir WW3 is starting, I shall meditate, sir were the only two left in our bunker.
  20. Welcome to student politics, oh he's bad bad bad. Your not going to reform global politics, so be a bit pragmatic. He is the better man than everything else that was on offer. Granted unlike comrade Starmer he actually said what he was going to do and unsurprisingly is doing it. Maybe in a few years you'll realise, doubtful but hey. How far back can you remember president wise as, just so you've context.
  21. Waah, he's probably less dodgy that the senile sound bite looser and creepy Joe combined. Name me a good man/women that's in politics!. You'll probably try to tell me Nelson Mandela was such an innocent victim ?.
  22. You can flood them if you're being a bit over jealous on the choke and pulling the cord. As per bmp, half choke after 1-2 pulls or even off and a few pulls to thin out the mixture as you'll probably find the plug sopping wet.
  23. And where has he said anything against diversity in its most basic form. He doesn't give a toss what you are aslong as you're all employed and hired equally, no quota or leg ups because your a diversity hire. The cold hard reality is money talks, you can go on about environmentalism, western business is efficiency ergo environmental ism is pretty much built in. Buy from Mexico and China good luck with that. And as per his press secretary, all illegal immigrants broke the law so are criminals.
  24. Oh so we can discriminate. And he only gutted the top of the tree, those that literally barely even knew how to make a paper airplane yet somehow got the job.
