Since neither Trump or Biden have any association with Wishbech Eagle's private parts, It's maybe time to leave that discussion and get back to topic.

I wonder if WE's mask could double as underpants? But point taken....I agree, thinking about Wisbech's love weapon is a bit strange.

I would rather not join in if that's OK with you. You suffer from prostate cancer? I wasn't aware and you have my genuine condolences on that. The cut and thrust of political forums seems a little puerile compared to an issue like that. In this circumstance I will respect your request not to muck about.

However, the companies that produce the optimum drugs for this now refuse to sell them to the US. The alternative drugs are effective, but cause a slower and frequently excruciatingly painful death, so alternatives really need to be found if they are to continue with the death sentence.

Agreed All best wishes Wissie. Absolutely. Best wishes to you WE. It’s a strange dynamic that people can get into arguments and sometimes fractious relationships with others they might have stood next to at matches but some situations bring things into perspective.

In a country that size it would have been impossible for an incoming President to be in situ with all his incoming staff that quickly. The election result itself took weeks (unlike today It would be a logistical nightmare and the country would not have had a government, today of course it's not necessary. The real issue for me is the timing, holding an election in November and an inauguration in January. There are loads of stories about famous people and politicians who died of pneumonia after attending the January inauguration in sub zero temperatures.

Those who harbour ideas that the republicans can come back and win in 2024 or later aren't being realistic. Trump pandered to minority demographics but only moved the needle a little. People talk about the Hispanic vote but really they mean the Cubans, who are traditional and dislike socialism for historical reasons. The stark reality are that demographics will make a republican presidency impossible. The republicans would have to do a Tory number and move significantly to the left....where like the British Tories they are only conservative in name only. Here is why....If Biden takes over his administration is going to push for amnesty to just about all illegals, which would probably result in over ten million new voters come the next election.....Conservatism has nothing to offer these groups....it basically closes the argument. The only way conservatism survives long term in the US is with separation. Edited by Stirlingsays (26 Nov 2020 9.33am)
