"How can anyone trust Trump?"As apposed to the Clinton's?

So what does anyone think about the share price for LBG over the next few months, with us out of the EU (but without a deal as yet)and PPI finished ?

He should stick to running hotels and being the prat of Trump Towers. He is out of his depth trying to play statesman.

j07: What a true oddball Trump is:= Believes his Secret Service information to kill the Iranian General . . . . disbelieves same sources when they told him Russia interfered with the 2016 Election. Dangerous human!

Ratcliffe would probably be free by now if it wasn't for the Boris gaffe.

[poikka] 04/1/2020 17:04

Well there's a lot of truth in what you say, Minnie, IMHO, but the facts speak differently: Iran was still working against the agreement, albeit in a more secretive manner; Ratcliffe (and others) was still banged up; the Houthis were still being armed, and the IRG were still causing unrest elsewhere.

Now I really must be off.

Poikka, the media publicised it, she has no power! they saw it as news and because we are talking about it, shows they are correct!

[jacko07] 04/1/2020 17:02

Just for the record, what isn't reported is the amount of senior Republicans who are opposed to Trump.

When Trump is gone, soon or in 2024, it will all come out and without doubt there will be many joining Mannafort in jail.

Remember Richard Nixon, in 24 hours he went from being the most powerful man in the world, to finding nobody would answer his telephone calls.

The drop from favour gets harsher the bigger the job'

"Why do actors and actresses think that they have the right to use their celebrity status to speak for so many?"

They have just as much right as Cummings, Banks and Farage.

"and that means he is bad for Stockmarkets"

And there we have it. Enough said. Tara.

[poikka] 04/1/2020 16:57

jacko, my point was, "Why do actors and actresses think that they have the right to use their celebrity status to speak for so many?"

I'm certainly not decrying "free speech", but am against celebrities gaining front page status to speak for others. Their popularity influences readers/viewers minds in favour of what they're promoting, not always correctly.

[minerve 2] 04/1/2020 16:50

Completely agree Jacko. Up ticked you. :)

Minerve - "Well then, if we acknowledge that SOME Iranian people are decent then surely we should not be encouraging rising tensions in the ME.

I am sure that if the theatre of war was to be enacted over the UK, rather than the ME, where our families, friends and golf courses live, many would be less eager for conflict and they would find the US administrations foreign policy very troubling"

Not aware that the UK's stirring-up trouble in our region.

What's your solution then Minnie? Engage in talks? Ask them nicely to stop their (nearly) secretive nuclear ambitions? Ask them nicely to stop arming the Houthis? Ask them, yet again, to allow Nazanin Ratcliffe to go free?

Face the facts: Soleimani organised the killing of others and then he got killed. Makes sense to me.

Poikka

I think you will find that all this started when Trump decided not to honour a deal with the Iranians and ignore international consensus.

"Dare say it does but it is how the data is interpreted that is relevant. Selectively, distorted, manipulated? Provide the same data to 6 different papers and they'd all spin it differently."

Maybe you are right, but I doubt it. If the tabloids started to analyse such data at any decent level they soon would be without readership. Brexiters like to read simple stuff.

[poikka] 04/1/2020 16:41

Common sense from an Iranian student, "“I don’t back his (Soleimani's) cause. It brought us misery and confrontation and isolation. I want peace with America and our neighbours,” she said."

[minerve 2] 04/1/2020 16:40

"Is your eyesight troubling you, Minnie? Where did I say, or even hint at that conclusion of yours."

I didn't say you had said that. That is why I asked the question.

Well then, if we acknowledge that SOME Iranian people are decent then surely we should not be encouraging rising tensions in the ME.

I am sure that if the theatre of war was to be enacted over the UK, rather than the ME, where our families, friends and golf courses live, many would be less eager for conflict and they would find the US administrations foreign policy very troubling.
