Trump seems to have a different agenda. I think he's working very hard towards a point where language is completely devoid of meaning.

He's awake...

Is he claiming that the content of a press conference that was broadcast live Worldwide, is fake news? Nurse!!!

Doesn't offend at all, one just rolls ones eye, like 75% of people that read such drivel. When will these "journalists" learn? Stuff like this really turns normal folk off their cause and empowers people like Trump.

Law of unintended consequences strikes again!

At his time of US full employment and restrictions on immigration it is difficult to see how US industry will grow without sufficient additional workers.
Or, as in this case, how industry that depends on seasonal workers will maintain their businesses. As we are entering the harvesting season it will be interesting to hear how farmers cope.

There are also now newspaper reports of shortages of truck drivers and airline pilots. People are ever more reluctant to take jobs involving a lot of time away from home unless they are well compensated.

You're bother by a journalist when the POTUS is calling his own press conference 'fake news'? Come on Loz! You're brighter than that.

Crikey, a Brexiteer without the ability to read and comprehend. Well I never.

Are you trolling, or genuinely thick?

You don't even need journalists these days. All you have to do is read the tweet-guff tripping off the fingertips of the leader of the free world, never mind his toe-curling performances behind the podiums, to see what's going on behind the scenes.

This time even FOX is somewhat critical. He's not having many friends left, but then again, if your best buddies are Putin and Kim Jong-un that's not really a surprise. He's accelerated on his downward spiral, which could potentially be good news if it escalates to the point of even the Republicans to prefer impeachment vs. not getting any election won in the next 2 decades. Wishful thinking?

Go to any area which has been enriched, the locals (natives) aren't exactly pining for more immigration

Its usually some middle class twat or out of touch journalist who is telling them how great it all is.

I doesn’t turn me off, it tells me I am not alone in feeling these things are actually happening, that’s it’s not a figment of my paranoid imagination. The comparisons with fascism in the thirties are quite accurate. Sure this might not be the same in the sense it’s not pogroming the Jews into ghettos, its not yet rounding up political rivals to be dissapeared to a Gulag. it’s similar in they way distrust is being disseminated and lies are being told to the masses in order to control them, don’t believe in the free press, it’s fake news. Immigration is to blame for all our woes. Etc etc. You get the point though? I am sure you are not that blind to what’s happening. I understand the hate you feel towards an overly PC world, it irritates me too sometimes. But attacking liberal “snowflakes” is part of “their” agenda. You wait you will see.

In the run-up to the referendum, I used to visit the official Remain Facebook page quite a lot. There were a lot of Leave supporters posting there (often seeming to outnumber the Remainers) and I remember one woman posting comments about the perils of immigration. Checking her profile, it turned out that she lived in deepest Dorset. When I pointed this out and asked why she was so incensed about immigration, I was accused of being nasty.

Something that stunned me yesterday was Putin's chair gripping body language. The only time I do that is when I know I have to keep my cool and not lose my temper, no matter what.

Collective guilttrips never solve anything. There are many decent people in the West who do nothing evil to anyone nor do they feel so evilly towards other races, as negatively you tried to paint them. This "accident of birth" as you put it...actually dissmisses one's attitude towards one's national identity. This collective push is marxist. Afluent West is certainly not kind to all if its citizens, as it is.

Wrong. We have seen lots of pieces claiming to be about the lexicon of facism without actually looking into that in a wholistic manner but rather cherry picking cliches.

The left is just as if not more complicit in bringing unpleasant terminology out of history books and into political discussions.

But it's just easier to blame others, and then shout whataboustism when somebody holds up a mirror.

I'm sure the Berners were saying the same about you. But look, you're a true beam of sunshine enriching the lives of all you touch.

I noticed that too.

I suspect he was desperately trying not to start laughing maniacally.

How do you cope for a description if the people who can't stand the shit show going on at the moment are not politically left?

Do you have to be left to find the whole Trump circus and Brexit disaster a giant facepalm on the great slate of historical events?

Seems "the left" is just a lazy catch-all for "people who don't see things as I do"

How can you say it's wrong without knowing the reference material?
For reference:
GMB
Sky News
Question Time
This Week
Channel 4 News
Andrew Marr Show
The Politics Show
etc...

Are all of the programmes 'the left'?

Nobody is saying it’s great, I have mates that grew up in some pretty hideous parts of London, but it’s not “multiculturalism” that made those places miserable, it was a lack of government funding for amenities and schooling, dire housing and higher crime rates because of the neglect. But one thing I can tell you is that those communities are richer and more welcoming then most other communities in the UK. I have also lived in different parts of London, but it’s the ones you would define as an enriched that I have found to be the friendliest. I doesn’t mean I enjoy walking the streets alone at 3am, but I am more scared of being attacked unprovoked by white youth in Kingston at that time of night, then being robbed in Clapham or Willesden or Southal by a refugee. Its a fact that impoverishment creates crime. Maybe if governments stopped giving massive tax breaks to multinationals, they could divest more money into impoverished areas.

There are people who advocate mass movement of foreign populations into new areas in Europe/US, for the sake of "humanity". Instead of West trying to help in the conflict zones, it seems, which would have been the alternative. I am not saying it is a good one since it hasn't been exactly working up until now, either.

The illogical part of is, majority of us are all accepted guests and new citizens of a place, that has imho been the most protectionist about miniscule areas (municipalities even, not only cantons!), and where borders and the respect to native local law and conditions still rule. It has proven to be very economical, the federation of small tight areas blooms. No? Why. Because nobody could ever really get in, unless strictly under quotas or willing to go by these native local rules. Whats gets a ticket on EF as horrible and inhuman racism, is a principle that has made this place into a booming economy and pretty patriotistic culture(s) with national pride. There has never been a moment of open borders here. Jobs are protected by bulletproof licensing, and not just with tough language requirements to weed out foreigners but also filters for relatively local nomads from other cantons. Things are so under control, that this place routinely says no to even these affluent westerners and their maneurism. Why? Racism? Of course not! Define it then, please.
