Re: Quebec Mosque shooting suspect was a fan of Donald Trump and Marine le Pen

Re: Is Trump mentally ill?

Trump won, irrespective of how many popular votes etc. I find it scary but he won fair and square so it's something we have to accept. Democracy in action I guess, much the same as Brexit. A divisive issue and result and one which people are protesting still.

It was the patronising ' pat ' that got me.
Was Mrs. May offended or perturbed in any way do you think?

Quite pathetic, not the hand holding but the vitriolic article in The Guardian (unsurprisingly)

The countryside, which can be so beautiful. Family, and friends, who do come out here, sometimes not often enough!

Re: Politics

I honestly do not think the politics head shood be watered down, it s a personnel chose to get involved in a thread, and yes discussion can be heated But that is the nature of the beast.

It was about many things for many people. The UK WILL gain more control, that was one of the major issues, too much by being given to Brussels.

Re: Trump gets tough on terrorists

To the do-gooders I would say, that if any of you had to experience the hacking off of your own Son's head by so called ISIS, you may feel differently, although there again, maybe not.

Interesting dilemma. For those opposed to waterboarding etc. would you change your mind if a loved one's life could be saved by the use of these methods?

Re: Politics

Why do we need a separate section for Cyprus politics? Surely it all comes under the heading of, well, politics doesn't it?

As to original question, I don't see the need to split it, but am happy either way!

On the news last night it showed that some people who voted Brexit are now regretting it, saying that if they new what was going to happen 12 months ago they would'nt have voted to leave.

Phew that was painful to watch. Mr. Clegg certainly didn't do himself any favours with that interview.
