You're right and Jesus Christ that's depressing. Is this really what democracy is coming to? Decisions made from anger and fear rarely turn out to be good ones.

I find this to be useful in scenarios such as this. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Graham%27s_Hierarchy_of_Disagreement.svg

I have more sympathy for this than you might think. I do genuinely see that globalization affected the American white working class greatly, as it has in this country. There's two things that concern me though; a) Why couldn't Trump get this across as an Independent, you could easily substitute...

For sure. This was evident to me during the campaign when it was abundantly clear that the establishment voices weren't getting through. You remember that bit when Major had a go at Boris, I was genuinely baffled what part of the leave demographic that was trying to appeal to... And when I said...

***rolls sleeves up, sucks cheeks in*** I have a friend of Romany descent, who is a big Swindon fan (I make no judgement) I have been known on occasion to use the word pikey when referring to our friends from Croydon, strictly in a football 'banter' perspective. She made her disapproval very...

If you could bring yourself to ignore such a horrific and unforgivable mistake you'll notice that his capacity for racial offense covers the spectrum. Which when you consider that he isn't a racist must make him really unfortunate or really dumb.

No it's not. There's a commonly attributed 'positive' attribute surrounding black men that when said in a particular way is racist. In this particular example, Trump takes a characteristic that he has personal experience of and stereo-typically attributes it to all black people specifically...

Whilst there's a bit of rounding up going on there depending where you consult, there is no denying that is a shocking figure. However, are you really trying to argue that 'laziness is a trait in blacks' isn't a racist statement?

Why does Donald Trump say racist things if he isn't a racist? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-racist-examples_us_56d47177e4b03260bf777e83 Why does he say sexist things if he isn't a sexist...

I can't put myself through that again. Izzard was an utter embarrassment, I had to turn it off. I'll take your word for it. Whether the demographic that were believing of the claim in the first place are Question Time viewers is another matter.

There's definitely something in this. Brexit and Trump are in some very important ways fueling from the same place.

Yeah, for sure man. It was all total shite on both sides. I was just defending a jokey/ flippant remark that AM picked up on as to what Farage might be telling Trump behind the scenes. I really don't want to get into this debate again, it's done, I'm as over it as I'll ever be, if the campaign...

Do we have to go over this again? £350m a week - false Give £350m a week to the NHS - false. And it may not have been Farage personally but he didn't go out of his way prior to the appearance on breakfast TV after the event to clarify the situation did he? Anyway, I'm sure there's another...

Ah, but can you smell the freedom?

Just be glad we got our country back and shut up.

'Make up an arbitrary number number and tell them that you'll give it to healthcare. The plebs love that stuff Don, they fall for it hook line and sinker.'

This bit's funny. "Mr Farage, who attended the Republican convention in Cleveland last month, had previously said he would not "fall into the trap" of personally endorsing Mr Trump in his quest to reach the White House." "Mr Farage said "I can't possibly tell you how you should vote", but...
