Something Interesting from Trumps Speech last night

... The only way to change the EU is to get inside into bed with them and influence, influence rather than negotiation.

So many women attracted to the 'bad boy' thinking they can 'change' them.

... here's the thing ...

Milan, you're going native, although I'm not sure with what tribe. No normal British person says "Here's the thing"

[milanbenes]

when in Rome

here's the scoop

here's the deal

here's the thing

or Tony Blair style, "listen, it's like this"...

Milan.

[fullyautomatix]

you're right about the status quo for non-baby boomers if something isn't done , and I have never seen a politician, political leader be so upfront in their intentions to take on the inequality question

Milan.

Erm, hello! Look closer to home and you will find that Corbyn has been a champion of the rising inequality for a long time. In fact among all the current crop of political leaders, only Corbyn has the drive and passion to make a difference. Once he comes to power, we should see a much better social fabric in UK where the rich and powerful no longer control the purse strings.

blimey I nearly spilt my tea when I read that.

oh dear, please, may I have a wall to bang my head against

um, how to say this politely, I am not talking inequality Corbyn style, and solving it Corbyn style by strikes and militant action which actually destroys industry and forces companies to move elsewhere, I am talking about Trump style, and using carrots and sticks to make companies bring production to the soil where they are selling their products

umm, please, no more mentions of Corbyn, this is a serious discussion

Milan.

There isn't much point listening to what Trump says, as the next day he'll say the complete opposite if he thinks it'll make him look better.

The weird thing is that he clearly doesn't even know he's lying, and as far as he's concerned, he isn't. Like all people with narcissistic personality disorder, reality for him actually is whatever makes him look best right at that moment. Facts or consistency don't even come second, they just don't exist for him. He's literally incapable of being aware of them.

So there's no sense in listening to what he says and trying to perform some kind of analysis of what it reveals about his policies. His only policy is "Everybody, look at me!"

[milanbenes]

yes I tend to agree, but if he can get the big companies to bring jobs to where their revenue streams are then I am for it

Milan.

[NickFitz]

has there ever been a figure political or social who with 140 characters can make the stock price of some of the worlds biggest companies jump 1-5% up or down?

that's some serious leverage when negotiating

we live in interesting times

That's the power of Twitter, not of Trump. If Obama had been so irresponsible as to tweet random garbage about companies, it would have had exactly the same effect. Probably even more of an effect, as people would have assumed he meant what he said, whereas the smart money knows Trump is just blustering and will have forgotten all about it and moved on to something else within twenty-four hours.

Inequality is defined as the massive gap between rich and poor, not sure why you are labelling it as Corbyn style. Its not something politicians define. The question is, do you trust a Pm who wears a £1K shoe to actually care about this ? The minted Tories will never fix it and their wealthy voters will keep voting them in since it suits them very much.

Now that Corbyn has taken this up seriously, I expect all Labour voters turning up at the next elections and delivering a landslide win. Tories will be decimated and in fact will probably be coming in last even after Lib Dems.

The first thing Corbyn should and will do is to implement the minimum income policy and set it at 25K. Every citizen, employed or unemployed should get 25K in his bank. That should go a long way to promote some social mobility as well.

I suggest you have a strong conversation with your medical team with regards to changing your meds.

Corbyn is an unelectable non-entity in this country.

HTH.
