โ€œWith friends like that who needs enemies?โ€ springs to mind

I know a good few guys who are die hard England fans - went to South Africa in 2010, Russia in 2018 - all said the same thing - bollocks to going to America with that clown in charge.

Used to go regularly to the US.

I will never go again

Can never be trusted again. A betrayal of what we assumed were our shared values and ideology.

A kleptocratic, rabidly capitalist, shamelessly misogynistic oaf.

And you elected him twice.

Itโ€™s unforgivable as heโ€™s changed the world for the worse, probably permanently

This is easily dealt with - Keir Starmer grows a backbone and calls him and says โ€œdo what you want in your own court system but youโ€™ll be getting fuck all from usโ€

โ€ฆand then put the phone down

Iโ€™m 44 from UK and grew up looking at America as a cool place - movies, bands,superstars. Holidayed there half a dozen times and loved it.

Since 2016 I have zero desire to travel there. Heโ€™s so clearly racist, misogynistic, devoid of any redeeming qualities. Itโ€™s unforgivable voting for him twice.

Tired and grumpy now. No 3:55am alarm tomorrow, they can swivel!

Two terrible performances - canโ€™t decide which one has annoyed me more!

This is being researched in melanoma. Itโ€™s a mystery why 50% respond to immunotherapy and 50% fail. Thereโ€™s a difference in gut microbiome & if a poo sample from a responder is moved into a non responder (a fecal matter transplant!) & re-administer immunotherapy- it works for a % of those it failed

Well what a performance that was yesterday. Still in shock how good we looked all over the pitch.

Was despondent on the coach back from Millwall - โ€œwe need a striker, ours canโ€™t scoreโ€ and then up pops one with a hat trick.

Iโ€™ll eat my hat one day.

Is that etymologically similar to โ€œeveryโ€ , โ€œdayโ€, โ€œlikeโ€?

I was really frustrated with him today.

It breaks down so often when it gets to him.

100 million young people were saved from an early death by vaccines in the 20th century. An undeniable, demonstrable fact.

Denying the science behind it and attempting to turn back the clock on this from a position of power is genocidal.

History will compare RFK to Mengele

Looking in from the outside, the core problem was choosing a misogynistic rapist and convicted fraudster to lead your country and somehow thinking it would be ok.

Why are the legacy media not interviewing the victims and then believing them?

We take tariffs on our beautiful Heard Island very seriously. We will be consulting all mammals and flightless birds and will make an announcement in the near future detailing our response. #heardisland #tariff #mcdonaldisland #trumptariff

I used to be quite fond of the USA when I was younger, been to Florida, South Carolina, Vegas, California on separate trips. Have absolutely zero interest in going there ever again. Iโ€™m sure these Nazi bastards are delighted to hear that so the feeling is entirely mutual

Itโ€™s not fine though, the system is broken and youโ€™re getting mixed up. In the real world, loads of folk are saying they canโ€™t get up stairs, prepare meals etc, getting UC ESA & housing & and PIP & then working cash-in-hand @ยฃ100 a day. Theyโ€™re on ยฃ50k a year net & paying no tax gaming the system

Definitely massaging of the figures going on.

But there is a point in there that disability is on the up.

I know personally 4 or 5 different decorators, aged 50+ got nackered knees etc from hard graft. All on PIP working full time @ยฃ100 a day cash in hand and claiming PIP.

No one rational wants people pushed into poverty. Nevertheless, if itโ€™s right what she said that comparable economies have stable or falling welfare bills and ours is doubling to ยฃ100b by 2030, then weโ€™ve got a real problem. Similar if there are a million young people NEET.

Thanks for the reply. A lot then but not ยฃ2500. Iโ€™m going to have a read of it tomorrow to try and understand what these โ€œperverse incentivesโ€ are that the current system creates to stay on benefits and how these reforms will supposedly tackle them

How much of this is offset by the increase in the standard rate I thought she mentioned in her speech?
