Next they'll be packing people off to the gulag for wearing glasses or reading a book

The question really needs to be asked.
Is this man mentally capable to carry out his duties?

Gary Lineker.
International footballer in the 1980s for England, Barcelona and Tottenham, turned BBC sports TV presenter.
Lost his broadcast career after years of right wing media howling over his views on refugees, Tories and Gaza

Exactly.
Nobody asked for Kaepernick or Lineker to speak up, but they both voluntarily sacrificed their careers for what is right

Trump normally tweets with random capital letters all over the place with no punctuation.

What I like about this is the dancing Trump and Musk in the aisle on the left.

When they say 'foreigners' they actually mean Russians and Israelis.

I'm not American, but aren't people over there covered by anything like the European Court of Human Rights like we are over here?

As someone said, there isn't any anti-woke way to empty a bin.
And it'll be interesting to see how they handle SEND education and social services.

It bothers me too.
The best that can happen now is that the Reform councils completely mess things up in their areas, and the media now starts actually placing them under scrutiny.
And hopefully Labour sharpens up their act and reinstate the WFA.

If this was Biden, it would lead the news channels.
When he mixed up the names Zelenskyy and Putin there was media commentators talking about dementia.
With Trump - silence.

The NHS isn't perfect, if you had something painful but none-urgent, such as a knee replacement needed, then the waiting times can be lengthy, but there’s always the option of private providers like BUPA, Spire etc for those who can afford to go private

I guess that if we were Americans we'd have endless forms to fill in, and clobbered by insurance.

She is back to normal now but has a walking stick (from the NHS) to get about.
From the moment I made the 999 call I only had to give the name, address and date of birth.
Not one penny had to be paid, as it's all covered by NHS, paid for by the taxes we pay.

By the time I got there, she'd already had an operation to put stents into the heart.
From there, she spent 5 days in a coma in ICU, and had another operation to repair a hole in her heart.
10 days later, mum was back at home with rehabilitation provided and free prescriptions every month.

Here in the UK, we have the NHS.
Two years ago this month, my mum had a sudden cardiac arrest. I phoned 999 and did CPR and two ambulances arrived in 6 minutes and they got her heart restarted with a defibrillator.
She was rushed to Leeds General and I followed on in the car

I can only imagine the worry and uncertainty that he must be causing you, and I am sorry for what you have had to go through
As I am English and live in the UK, the concept of health is insurance is completely unfathomable to me

November 2024: Vote Trump. Biden caused the cost of living crisis!

Britain needs to intervene and mediate.

Correct.
I really don't mind if a Democrat or a reasonable old-style Republican wins, as long as they are our friend and ally.
It will take decades before we can trust the Americans again.

I've often wondered why the world's largest economy, a nation which constantly bangs on about patriotism, doesn't have free healthcare like every other developed nation.
Why is this?

They forget that the suppression of free speech ends with everyone being suppressed.
Americans should be alarmed that according to the Economist survey, graduates are looking at moving out of the US. The people who cheer this on will then wonder why America doesn't invent anything anymore

I really do hope that you overcome this one day.
The most telling part about this article is the part where the woman is too scared to give her name, or even the state where she lives.
That is something you will only see in countries like Russia, Iran, Belarus or Venezuela

I was reading this today, where Americans, including scientists, were talking about seeking refuge because of their fears for the future.

He is ruining America's reputation for decades to come.
The brightest and best talent will be leaving for elsewhere, where they can practice their professions in safety.
