The Joker   10 #37 Posted January 22, 2018 As for people mentioning Justin Trudeau, how hard can it be, being leader of one of the most beautiful places on earth, ruling over one of the most benign people?  Ask former Hallam MP, Sir Cleggy.  It’s surprisingly difficult when you decide to vote against the interests of your constituents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
LowCostPoint   10 #38 Posted January 22, 2018 There is nothing shallow about expressing admiration for what a politician said in an interview. Andrew Marr and the Left-wing politician John McDonnell praised him too. Would you say they were being shallow? I doubt it.  Lets be honest if he was a little fat bald bloke most people wouldn't even know who he is...  ---------- Post added 22-01-2018 at 22:01 ----------  If anyone is shallow them it's John McDonnell trying to get on the Macron bandwagon & hoping that something rubs off. Committed Marxist McDonnell has absolutely nothing in common with former Rothschild investment banker Macron, who's ended his brief flirtation with Socialism to form & run his own liberal Centralist party, La République En Marche.  As for people mentioning Justin Trudeau, how hard can it be, being leader of one of the most beautiful places on earth, ruling over one of the most benign people?  Everyone wants to be besties with the class heart throb....

Car Boot   10 #42 Posted April 3, 2018 Even if he was 'gay' (why the quotes?) how is that an issue, at all? So far, from what I've seen, he's a classy dude. Not quite up there with Obama, but deffo more than one rung up the ladder above our Boris!  Do you mean "back of the queue" Obama who was so 'classy' he didn't respect British democracy and tried to threaten the electorate into voting a certain way which backfired tremendously?

hauxwell   233 #43 Posted April 3, 2018 Janie48 is right when she says strikes, protests and rioting happens frequently in France. All to do with the many revolutions the countries had over the years. It’s in there DNA to stand up for what they believe in.

Why should you jump straight to the front of the queue? Do you behave like that in supermarkets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Do you behave like that in supermarkets?  The arrogant President Obama attempted to interfere in the domestic political affairs of the UK and British voters punished the Remain side for his bullying and sneering attitude.  President Obama was just another arrogant elitist who helped swing the vote to Leave.
