I just looked odd to have the 'last laugh' at such a grim death laden scenario. It was just the wording really, no big concern! And yes we should all laugh at politicians, they are all feathering their own nest. The principled ones more often than not never make it to positions of power, on account that they're not compromised or can't be bought off. But yes, you're right to speak your mind no matter what you have to say!

Tbh I have got in trouble more than once for saying what I think so I will square that with in the company around you and subject matter .
Tbh I think boris is very principled as a politician he just tries to run with the hound and play with the fox. No can do especially in his position. He should do what's good for the majority not the ones who shout loudest or post on the net the most!

This is a link to an average of polls, showing him on 41.9 percent yesterday.

If you look at polls underneath you will see a wide variance with some of the polls touching even 50 percent for Trump.

Considering the near one way traffic of media bias against him it's impressive.

So what I said is basically true, there wasn't much reaction to his numbers from this event. It even proved popular in some polls.

I showed a Gallop poll on here yesterday showing 45/43 approval amongst republicans for events at the capitol.

And considering Trump didn't even approve of those events I'll regard my original contention as quite safe.

And again....considering the massive political and constant media barrage against him I'll be surprised if there is any significant dent.

I would think he would have been a bit concerned for the security he knew there but also initially pleased at the power he has.

He has genuine power that doesn't require orders to military.

What I said was, and is, that our MPs are not delegates but representatives. As such they must use their collective judgements to decide what they believe is in our best interests.

That's not the same as one individual just acting on his own personal beliefs, which is what Trump does. The analogy would be better employed for members of the Congress than for a President.
