Grim.

Americans are beginning to fear dissent. That’s exactly what Trump wants | Robert Reich

Attacks on the pillars of civil society are chilling speech. But American democracy was built on criticism

I agree that no Tory government would act this way.

Johnson made a decent start mind. I guess your point stands seeing as how they forced the fat kunnt out.

Telegraph have an article today on Yanks moving or applying to move to the UK, the numbers are way up. For several reasons including the Fentanyl crisis and gun attacks on schools, but also:

“Buying an escape route​

Many American buyers are purchasing in the UK as a way of keeping their options open. “They are effectively putting a flag in the sand here so they have an escape route if things get really weird in the States,” says Roarie Scarisbrick, of the buying agency Property Vision”.

What I wouldn't give to see this. The stupid deranged orange twat being dragged out of the wreckage of his Tesla and hauled off to a lifetime in jail after a 30 minute slow motion car chase towards mar a lago.

It would be oddly fitting for the man who has always been all about television.

Thats an unusal take from the Telegraph - one would expect the anti-immigration lobby to be seething that a bunch of foreigners are coming over here, seeking refuge from persecution and putting pressure on the local property markets. Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean islands are all closer, and they'd be far more likely to return home. Why do they have to come all the way over here?!

Large numbers getting Portuguese residence too. Up massively in the past 12 months. Good quality, low cost healthcare, relative ease of obtaining residency, and personal safety are main factors

There are often DT contradictions, but it has a great deal of factual stuff on business, finance and world trade. The right wing loons are actually in the comments, a large cohort these days forever slagging off Rachel Reeves and deranged in support for Trump. These days online readerships are global, people will also be posting from Russia and redneck US states.

And also free from Trump, Musk, Vance, Farage et al.

Presumably most of these immigrants are the right colour for the right wing. Perhaps you should start an advertising campaign.

I'm not sure if this has been covered in this thread, but the USA are now trying to enforce their anti-diversity policies to companies in other countries that supply the US.

What the hell? We can't do that!

Have you tried those wipes that are used for eyeglasses. They will work on monitor coffee smears.

Well, yes, I should have said that is the number one reason for many of them.

Well that needs putting a stop to, last thing we need is Americans buying up holiday homes

Permanent moves apparently, kids into our schools. The UK and US allow dual and multiple nationality.

I agree that no Tory government would act this way.

A Farage government (heaven forfend) would, though.

Frighteningly, a Farage government is not beyond possibility under our current voting system. He’d win more seats with PR, but have zero chance of ever being in power.

I just don’t get this Fentanyl addiction, I mentioned in another thread all it does is knock you out for hours no particular high or euphoric feeling.
I can’t have morphine so I had a fentanyl pump after my operation. Americans are weird.
