Customers will pay regardless. In privatisation money is siphoned off. £85bn in dividends so far. In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure.

He needs to be identified and arrested for assault. There is absolutely no grounds for him firing at a reporter and her crew who represent no threat whatsoever.

He knows Garcia will be used as a show trial with the result already fixed. They will find him guilty, then deport him again.

More, a puzzled man. Bizarre!

So, no attempt at arrest, just a vicious determination to give the helpless guy a violent beating.

For me, the best single ever released.

The same chaos that marked his first presidency is being repeated double this time round. It's so fucking tiring having to see what toys this fuckwitted man-baby will throw out of his pram each bloody day. If only it wasn't so damn serious for the future of US democracy.

Maybe wipe your arse on their steak before you serve them. I think they might notice if you do afterwards.

The case for the secession of California from the USA (which it largely funds) has now increased exponentially. What a terrible time for US democracy

This is pure 1930s Nazi Germany Goebbels playbook. Create a myth of imminent insurrection to justify an authoritarian military crackdown on the population. Expect a "Reichstag" style event soon to justify imposition of martial law. The Constitution is in serious peril.

The Trump proto dictatorship has mirrored 1930s Nazi Germany in all its key steps. Politicization of the judiciary, attacks on universities, rounding up people on the streets, etc, etc. I predict it won't be long before a Reichstag moment when they set fire to a major building and blame Antifa
