| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | In any case, the refugee/migrant line has been blurred a long time ago. | | | | | Which compromises the otherwise respectable institutions of political asylum and refugee so much that most people are taking these words and the concept behind them very lightly these days. After what we've seen lately, more than half of the world (three quarters?) could qualify for the "refugee" or "asylum seeker" status if we'd be honest. But they can't make it here, or anywhere in Europe or other countries with a good system devoted to such cases.
I don't agree with the general tone of neither of the sides here - neither Loz's nor TobiasM's. Things are a little more nuanced in reality.

What a plonker. It was the Bush administration that started the process. At least he didn't mention knife crime
And the real reason he won't come. | This user would like to thank TobiasM for this useful post: | |

Robert Mueller, the U.S. special counsel, says he wants the conspiracy and money-laundering trial of former Trump campaign Chairman Paul Manafort and his one-time associate Richard Gates to start on May 14.
Mueller’s request came Friday in a court filing disclosing that prosecutors have 590,000 items of evidence, including 2,200 documents labeled as “hot” to tell defense lawyers they are important.
The evidence includes statements the defendants made to law enforcement, as well as imaged copies of 87 electronic devices obtained during the investigation, such as laptops, phones and thumb drives. Source

Even the US embassy in London refuted Trump!
On Friday the U.S. embassy in London joined British officials in rebutting his claims.
The old building had “aged beyond its ability” to be improved to meet security and safety standards without a major infrastructure investment, the embassy said in a statement.
Teams surveyed more than 50 sites before settling on the area of Vauxhall, south of the river Thames, for the new location, according to the statement. Source |

Mountain of evidence  | | | | | I seriously hope that something doesn't stuff this up. Like in some some crazy conspiracy movie, where the bad guys burn down the building with all the evidence or assassinate the snitch. I hope they have backed up the evidence. Still this is going to drag on through Trumps entire term in office and the damage he will do in that time is immense.

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | Which in a nutshell is why people like Trump win elections. | | | | | I think I can understand a part of your point of view, some of what you've mentioned seems like a reasonable criticism, whether people like to admit or not. However, I'm not sure if you want to attribute all those knife crimes in UK to the black community. You know very well that linking a type of crime only to certain communities can be quickly dismantled by stats.
Most people who visited London enjoyed their time very much, calling this city "shithole" is silly. I can't take this stuff too seriously these days, Loz.

Scum making the headlines of the back of supporting a President that they view as in tune with their racist agenda. I find this utterly sickening. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a8157361.html | The following 2 users would like to thank Blueangel for this useful post: | |

If anything, they always emphasis that London is a collection of villages, each with it's own identity, that come under the greater title of London.

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | | | | | | So blatantly EDL supporters, you can see it in the way they look and how they act. I guess they think if the left can get away with this sort of protest then so can they. The thing is fascist agendas shouldn't be given any sort of airing, yet they will claim its their right to free speech to preach hatred and then start comparing themselves to left wing protesters. | This user would like to thank TobiasM for this useful post: | |

Those protesters are twats. But they're only doing what 'progressive' protesters have been doing to widespread applause for as long as I can remember.
I've been saying all along, Trump is a natural progression from President Mic-drop, and the same goes with this sort of nonsense.

Edit: And why did you amend that post to remove the locations? | | | | | Since when has inquiring after member's info that can identify them, been a good netiquette?! People are free to put out info on themselves as they wish, they are grown ups and it is their own risk. But being nosey or personal to others and possibly exposing them is a no-no.
Just deal with the fact, folks, that there are members with different opinions. Thank god that EF has not become an echo chamber and that we do allow a decent and quite civil debate with various views.
