The UK was not 5th largest economy before the single market entry thanks to Mrs.Thatcher, more like 15th.

What source do you have for this?

What year are you taking it for? By GDP (rather than GDP PPP) in 1992 the UK was the 6th biggest economy behind the US, France, Italy, Japan, and Germany. So it has overtaken France and Italy, and fallen behind China since then.

I don't agree with Trump's position on granting visas for Muslims.

It appears petty and populist.

Hope he revokes this position.

Well populist is defined as seeking to represent the interests of ordinary people. There is a simple argument that says the less Muslims the less Muslim terrorists.There is a undeniable logic in that.
Does this offend some peoples sense of fairness? Of course, however, Trump is representing majority America and that I'm afraid has been absent from government policy in America and Britain in recent years. Ultimately,like it or not, that is why he is now President.

A populist claims to represent the interests of ordinary people.History teaches us claims in this regard rarely accord with the outcome reality.

Well that is the definition whether you accept it or not. I know everything relates to Nazi Germany in your eyes.

I don't necessarily support Trumps stance but I am fascinated to see how it pans out. He favours a confrontational style in a world where perhaps the leading democratic lights of the West has been taking a step back for too long.

I think that went out of the window with McCarthyism.

BBC News Page headline: "Theresa May fails to condemn Donald Trump on refugees". They might as well have put "Theresa May fails to follow the BBC's left/lib preferences" - and we have to pay a licence fee for this so called 'neutral' reporting.

I expect that she failed to condemn the contents of his fridge* as well. But that doesn't excite the lib/left persuasion.

*And that really needs close scrutiny.
