Re: U.S Election 2020

Yes it is well known Biden is pro Ireland. I'm not sure why the tories preferred him to win

I'm not sure the Conservative, Labour or Liberal Democratic Parties would publicly express any preference on the candidates in an overseas election.

Mick's very quiet lately... Probably getting some well earned kip
Mick was @ work. Far too busy to listen to dire news about a corrupt Democrat party gaining the White House.

PHOENIX — Plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed in Arizona over alleged ballot issues stemming from Sharpie use abruptly filed to dismiss their suit without prejudice Saturday.

The Trump campaign, the Arizona Democratic Party and the Republican National Committee had all gotten involved in the case, which fanned claims of widespread ballot problems affecting Republican voters, claims repeatedly denied by local and state election officials.

Re: U.S Election 2020

I wonder if Nigel will have to pay his own hotel bill now? (he’s in the USA as a "journalist’, but doesn’t say who for).

I actually found it sad, so it's a reminder for me to always put context to things when I post them.

Trump has consistently downplayed the pandemic and its effects on America, and held events that had no attempt to comply with his own government's recommendations.

That it ended up impacting his supporters was not unexpected, but I thought that the Tweet showed just how much Trump didn't care about that at all.

Humour comes in many forms. Sadly these days humour is lost against today's PC snowflakes. I find it more sad that people can't take a joke but instead they get offended and consider a joke as being serious and meaningful. To consider that someone has to be a sick idiot, well the joke's on you.

Re: U.S Election 2020

Humour has no place in the new 'Populism'. It's even frowned on in CF

Get with it Andrew its the "ReformUK' party now, the latest populist bandwagon. The word Brexit won't work well for them in future.

My post was aimed at the moron on twitter who found it funny,
