Re: Rory Stewart gets the Hedgehog Vote

Dominc - that is a well written, thoughtful and balanced piece of writing, Rory Stewart obviously has more about him than meets the eye. I do not like Boris for the same reasons most people don't like him but he look like he is going to romp home at the moment and I do stress at the moment.

Re: Rory Stewart gets the Hedgehog Vote

The worst thing is this MP is a contender for the PM's job - I suppose anyone who can discuss hedgehogs in a near empty chamber and keep a straight face and be serious must believe he can debate anything

Re: Rory Stewart gets the Hedgehog Vote

And Boris got the rest, 114 nearest rival at 43. Trump for President and Boris as Prime Minister doesn't look so far fetched beyond belief now. I would love to be in the she's of anyone who had a few bob on that Bet.

Re: Trump's Latest Pearls of Wisdom

Here are a few facts and figures certain posters don't bother posting as they choose to only look for the negatives with Trump. I can't stand the bloke but his reputation as a businessman and his policies as US president speak for themselves when it comes to the economy. 1st - Unemployment under Tru...

Re: Trump's Latest Pearls of Wisdom

His father and siblings helped him out with a few million along with banks, and yes his father was a millionaire but nowhere near a billionaire which according to Forbes as of 2019 Trumps nett worth is $3.1 Billion - hardly a dramatic fall. Show me any business that does not utilise the banks money ...

Re: Trump's Latest Pearls of Wisdom

Re: Well Anybody That thought German Industry .... !

Sorry - It should have read you "cannot post that" - it was meant in humour / tongue in cheek but was lost in the way I typed it. My point being that anything that goes against the belief that all is rosy within the EU is not correct. Think Tanks that have commented on various outcomes of ...

Hardly stepped aside or caved in, just found a compromise that the EU and Italian Government could live with.
