The BBC should pay Trump for the 'reputational damage'. I would suggest that 1p should cover it!

DMoes he now have a job with ICE? It seems that he's well qualified

True, but if it gets rid of the aweful Ms Nandy....

It would be nice in JCB's owner paid the tax he owes before giving money to Fartrage,

Sounds like a case where they need to be declare 'persona non grata', deported and barred from entry in to the UK in future.

That would have required political will from Starmer and competence from Nandy, neither of which has been apparent

Lisa Nandy is incompeyent and generally bloody useless, she rates slightly higher than MadNads in terms of her overall performance

I went with my daughter about 15 years ago, we stayed in an appartment in the Old Town, about 200m off the Stradun. I first went to Croatia (Split) in 1969 when I was 16 and it was still part of Yugoslavia.

The problem is that the Secondary Modern education that most of those people received taught no critical thinking skills, it was designed to fit them for their role as factory fodder.

I'd go with something similar, 'a smug little bastard who is nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is!'

The worst education secretary in modern history and when you consider that the list includes Keith Joseph, Gavin Williamson, Nadim Zahawi, that's quite a feat!

The usual government response to any pupil achievement problem - more testing! Have they never heard to old adage about being so busy weighing the baby that you forget to feed it?

Killing for "sport" is morally indefensible

I live fairly close too. Yesterday there was a successful escapee on the green outside my house. It sounds like a battlefield outside this time of year.

Agreed and the birds are bred to be shot, morally distatsteful!

These two things can both be true at the same time.

Hardly, it's not binary, I can see Starmer's faults and there are many (I voted Labour and he's been a severe disappointment), without doing anything to help/support Fartrage ( a man that I thoroughly detest) who would be a disaster as PM for all but the racists and billionaires.

True, but an awful lot do, especially those who received a substandard Secondary Modern education.

St Helena or Ascension Island? Well away from civilised society. Pitcairn Island is also an option.

Didn't Gruinard suffer enough from being bombed with anthrax? Inflicting Deformers on the island seems harsh!
