Assad the Elder was said to have the same talent.

I pity the Council management and employees who have to deal with this pack of morons âšī¸

Given he is now a liability to the company dragging down their sales, why pay him anything at all.

What if we have totally misunderstood various historic events. What if Operation Barbarossa was really a trap laid by Stalin that misfired badly. If USSR had won the Battle of Dubno-Brody in June 1941 the course of WW2 might have been changed radically.

Hopefully Trumpism will have imploded by the next General Election leaving Farage exposed to its failures.

Presumably a significant minority of Labour voters still support Brexit! Maybe time will persuade them otherwise.

Reform is being very quiet about its biggest policy - abolition of the NHS.

Sounds like a man who is very stressed out knowing his empire of smoke and mirrors is on the verge of collapse.

Perhaps Harvard should build an overseas Campus at, say, Cambridge in the UK for 50% of it's faculty and students. They have the funds to do this.

Hopefully the Trump star will have fallen long before the next UK General Election and drag Farage down with him.

Reform would abolish the NHS and sell off hospitals to US Medicare corporations to fund tax cuts for the wealthy with token cuts for ordinary taxpayers.If they raised the basic rate threshold to ÂŖ20k taxpayers would save avg c.ÂŖ1.5k income tax but probably end up paying c.ÂŖ5k+ medical ins prems.

Oddly a lot of Chinese cultural items may have been saved by Western looting from being subsequently destroyed by Mao's cultural revolution.

I suspect if Boris hadn't done the Brexit deal, some other useless Tory would have done an even worse one. Brexit is what most Tories wanted and they got it.

A lot of market rigging going on.

She's right about Lee. He was the Union's greatest spy who totally undermined the Confederate cause and led their armies to two of their greatest defeats đ

The UK needs to copy the USA and introduce citizenship based direct taxation. Bring UK citizens living in overseas tax havens into the UK tax net. Introduce an Exit Tax for those giving up UK citizenship.

Even the UK Fishing Industry may benefit from the simplification of exports to the EU. As far as I'm aware most of their catch used to be exported as it was species not popular in the UK.

Hopefully they'll be sucked down and drowned by the sinking Trump ship.

I suspect this is very true. Anti-compete clauses in employment contracts effectively creating indentured servitude and serfdom.

Slavery is totally defunct in the 21st Century. There are probably a billion impoverised people in the developing world quite willing to travel anywhere in the world to work hard in poor conditions for a meagre income.

I'm seriously embarrassed to admit I have a distant family connection to this man đŦ

I hope (probably very much in vain) that it is all to justify joining the Schengen Zone.

I'm hoping this hardline stance is to diatract from major changes to Brexit approach.

I suspect it's all just to save Trump embarrassment when he announces big cuts to the China Tariffs to keep the shop shelves filled.

What happens if his successor defunds Trump's library đ

Maybe Americans will soon need Exit Permits to travel outside the USA just like the Soviet Union.

I suspect Trump's fear of collapsing Boeing got this miniscule Trade deal over the line.

Trump is successfully reducing the US-China trade deficit! In a bizarre way, he is reducing American hyper-consumerism.

Hopefully they'll find little appetite for their piffle amongst a more sceptical British population and waste a lot of money.

Hopefully by the next General Election, Trump will have smashed the US economy and have been impeached taking a lot of the wind out of Reform's sails.

As most of the Gainsborough Shale formation lies under Nottinghamshire, I doubt she will have much say on fracking issues.

Perhaps the Cops are f#cking the case up as they have as little sympathy for the victim as the rest of the US public.

I doubt the Gov will worry too much about over-riding Reform in rural Lincolnshire đ

The Fossil Fuel lobby are desperate if they have to turn to Farage to shill for them.

He is achieving incredible success in destroying the Republican Party. If this is his secret real aim, he truly is a "very stable genius" đ

The market for second hand goods will boom. Great news for Ebay.

Presumably this will also affect significantly the Healthcare Industry as the recipients cannot afford healthcare otherwise. Lots of redundant healthcare workers.

Clegg went over to the dark side. The road to Hell only goes one way.
