Perhaps it's not all over after all?




And that’s the real case here. The US Supreme Court is going to rule that the State Supreme Court violated the US Constitution, the State Supreme Court’s ruling is going to be overturned, and the votes that arrived after 8 PM on election day will be discarded. On that basis, Trump will win Pennsylvania.

Looking ahead....Jim Thomas6 Nov 2020 1:44PMWhat a lot of garbage. America has always put pressure on the UK to do it's bidding. That is one of the principal reasons we found our selves in the EU in the first place. Things are different now. America is not the only big boy on the block any more and with the rise of China, militarily and economically, it will need to court good reliable friends more assiduously. Biden will not be looking to upset potential allies needlessly.... Daily Telegraph

Minerve, I can take no credit for my brilliant timing. I didn't foresee the disastrous turn events have taken at all. What I did foresee was long delays so I went for the bird in the hand.

He has been used by Hillary and Pelosi to get in the white house from the back door...soon the American people will find out who call the shots and I am afraid they are get be very disappointed.

k38..your appalling grammar and lack of knowledge are proof that you are what we call in the UK a 'thick c*nt'.

Now go away and try and use that dormant organ between your ears to gen yourself up on trading the market. You are one of the 10 millions tiddly teeny investors who have a tenner invested in Lloyds.

Typical thick Trump lover!

It's simple logic.

If avg wages are £25k and avg house prices £250k then you need 10x to buy the property.

With the current low mortgage rate of say, 2% then a 0.5% rise will mean 25% increase in the interest paid as part of your mortgage.

Whereas when interest rates were 15%, a 0.5% would mean only 3% increase.

Add in the Help to Buy loan (gov scheme to help home buyers) where initial interest is charged at 1.75% (20% ltv) then it all looks like a pack of cards ready to fall.

Not forgetting that the Help to Buy scheme contributed to the leasehold scandal on single dwelling new homes sold by several Housebuilders.

I think the last four years have shown that the world, particularly the EU, can no longer look to the US as leader of the free world. That is the EU now. Like the UK, the US has a cancer - built with plutocrats and far-right nutters - who are happy to exploit large percentages of the population that have nothing upstairs.

Is it the light that attracts them?

Democracy has won in America but Trump is damaging democracy worldwide by giving an excuse to all dictators and despotic regimes to use Trump (the president of USA) as a prime example and call the elections fraud and cling to power for as long as they could...


If Trump was leader of any other country right now, what would we have made of him?


It has been without doubt one of the most divisive periods in modern memory in American history and during the past week it culminated into something of a farce.

You had the leader of the most powerful country in the world making ludicrous statements about election fraud in the places he was losing whilst ignoring the those states he had won.

We then had people supporting him because they could not face the fact that one may lose the election. There were several major news and online media who felt comfortable enough to relay his ideas because it was what their own readers and viewers wanted to hear.


Anywhere else this would have been seen as nothing more than propaganda.

It reminds me of the times we have some despot leader in some far-off country who simply doesn’t want to give up power and finds any reason whatsoever to cling on to the throne.

When this happens in other ‘third-world’ nations we are quick to take the moral high ground and talk of how great ‘how our own democracy is’.

It is these lowly corrupt nations that have issues with democracy, not us. These nations have a lot to learn a on how to govern and we are much more superior than them when it comes to holding our leaders to account.

If Donald Trump had made these comments as some South Asian leader, Russian, an African head of state or some Central American leader we would ridiculed and chastised him across the news networks.

By the way.. Biden stands for nothing. He has been used by Hillary and Pelosi to get in the white house from the back door...soon the American people will find out who call the shots and I am afraid they are get be very disappointed. (M2 get over it, Brexit is over. Lol...)

There might be an adjustment in house prices at some point but like lloy it will rise again from the ashes . It is writ... !Good Luck.

[minerve 2] 06/11/2020 14:57

I think the thread would be better without K38, Gecko and that JL nutter.

Cheshire and grahamite are good wooden-top entertainment.

"I bet on Trump and I made money. I hope Nigel cashed out at the same time as me!"

I'm sure your timing was spot on. 😏

[grahamite2] 06/11/2020 14:55

That's the way of the left, k38! They lose any argument they take part in, so...they don't take part.

[k38] 06/11/2020 14:52

M2 filter all whom disagree with him again and again and.... again. The only person who agree with is Alp.Lol

[k38] 06/11/2020 14:47

I agree 99% with you.. but to achieve this kind of results you need the hand of God...Lol

[grahamite2] 06/11/2020 14:46

I bet on Trump and I made money. I hope Nigel cashed out at the same time as me!

At least there are some positives. The Senate situation limits the harm Biden can do. Trump's improved showing among blacks, latinos and women shows the theory that demographic change dooms the Republicans in the future is unsound. Above all, Trump's Supreme Court changes will have influence for decades.
