Migration crisis is putting the UK at grave risk.

Reagan is a bleeding heart liberal compared to Trump.

He was also regarded as a joke candidate by the Democrats and political pundits of the time in his first run for President and went on to win in one of the biggest landslides in American history.

I think Trump will lose due to the populace shifting to the left in their ideas on domestic issues and the vagaries of the winner-take-all electoral college system, but I wouldn't make any bets on the outcome. Especially since his likely opponent is Hillary Clinton. Though popular she is justifiably seen by many as motivated mostly by a desire for power - hence sticking by Bill Clinton, despite being repeatedly humiliated by his philandering as Governor of Arkansas and President.

Think we are falling into two camps here;

1. People who think it's a human condition to help people.

2. People who think it's a human condition to not give a shiit about other people.

And a third group - people who understand why it's a human condition to help people, and are therefore able to apply that knowledge so that blind destructive animalistic empathy is replaced with a tempered & productive empathy .

I think Trump will win.

I think Trump will win.

He looks like winning the republican ticket so it gives him 50/50 chance.

Think we are falling into two camps here;

1. People who find it necessary to categorise everyone for their own understanding

2. People who know the world isn't like that.

Migrant crisis: 24 drown off Samos island near Turkey - BBC News

Hahahaha!

Is that better?

At least the government is kowtowing to pressure to take in a few thousand kids sans parents who are actually within EU borders. I suspect Cameron is going to have to do better to look like a team player before his "whinge list" gets a look-see or face the refendum with no trousers.

April 4th, 1984. Last night to the flicks. All war films. One very good one of a ship full of refugees being bombed somewhere in the Mediterranean.
Audience much amused by shots of a great huge fat man trying to swim away with a helicopter after him, first you saw him wallowing along
in the water like a porpoise, then you saw him through the helicopters gunsights, then he was full of holes and the sea round him turned pink and he sank as suddenly as though the holes had let in the water, audience shouting with laughter when he sank.

Then you saw a lifeboat full of children with a helicopter hovering over it. there was a middle-aged woman might have been a jewess sitting up in the bow with a little boy about three years old in her arms. The little boy screaming with fright and hiding his head between her breasts as if he was trying to burrow right into her and the woman putting her arms round him and comforting him although she was blue with fright herself, all the time covering him up as much as possible as if she thought her arms could keep the bullets from him.

Then the helicopter planted a 20 kilo bomb in among them terrific crash and the boat went all to matchwood. Then there was a wonderful shot of a child’s arm going up up up right up into the air a helicopter with a camera in its nose must have followed it up and there was a lot of applause from the party seats but a woman down in the prole part of the house suddenly started kicking up a fuss and shouting they didn’t oughter of showed it not in front of kids they didnt it aint right not in front of kids it aint until the police turned her turned her out i dont suppose anything happened to her nobody cares what the proles say typical prole reaction they never........

Oddly that's what War is. Pretty s*itty pretty much all of the time. Now, who'd want more war then? Are you saying that this is what's happening now?

Camera swings to masked axe nutter, who after several attempts manages to get the head off the 'infidel'. In the background you see a woman, clutching her baby, as she's stoned to death by a baying mob. The subtitles reveal that the female baby might have been as a result of her walking down the street without the correct dress on.

Only difference between yours and mine is that yours is fantasy, from your own mind.
