Trump
Or are they Sun newspaper readers that believed the front page headline that the 90 day ban might affect mo farrah lol.
Or perhaps they listened to the radio and got led to believe it was just an indefinite ban .with no good reason

he rails against the metropolitan elite
but scratch away the hyperbole he is simply a chippy northerner
A northerner? His views are therefore worthless! Unfortunately there are many southerners, me included, who largely agree with his 'chippy' views.

It think people, myself included, have grown tired of the culture of OTT political correctness and the constant wailing of these liberal elites. Whether or not he has a chip on his shoulder or is a Northerner is neither here nor there, but then most who voted Brexit were Northerners.

But he makes a very good point. We have pampered celebs apologising on behalf of the country and making promises that they never keep, from Lily Allen and Bob Geldof promising to take in refugees, A listers promising to leave the US to the ridiculous promise of performing sexual acts for votes. Then we have the madness in the name of political correctness, with the BMA advising not to use the term "pregnant woman" in case if offends intersex and transgender men, "gender neutral" toilets in primary schools so that they're more "inclusive" for the tansgender and non binary, the banning of words and terms used every day in case if offends somebody, and many feel they have to walk on eggshells if they mention "Muslim" in a conversation without fear of being labelled an Islamophobe, xenophobe, racist, etc. It seems many of these snowflake millennials are so very easily offended by anything these days and make a career of protesting at anything that doesn't agree with their ideology and espousing the right to freedom of speech whilst at the same time shutdown those who disagrees with them.

But I have been making his points on this forum (and elsewhere) for the 10 odd years - he seems late to the party
Free market dogma and privatization - check, I have been laughing at the fact that few people realise hpw much of the UK assets have been sold off - the majority in the last 5 years
The left behind – check, I have been posting about wealth inequality and the appalling social mobility of the UK and the US
I posted about America having the social metrics of Sierra Leone no less – and made the observation that we will inevitably follow where the US tread (the last time we made a pact with the US it did not end well!!!)
The banking elite – check – in fact I made a post over 8 years ago on one of the many banking threads saying that it was clear the Banks had won the argument because no serious attempt at reform was really implemented – May Gove Fox et al leading the charge to resist any attempt to
And just to sit there and blame bob Geldof and the media (presumably with a touch of the Illuminati thrown in) is intellectually bankrupt and above all fvcking lazy
so yeah I get it - in fact I have been getting it for the last 35 years

Yep in the same way the liberal elites in Hollywood are equally intellectually bankrupt and lazy in blaming Trump for society's ills for example. Hollywood is rife with sexism and racism, just look at the pay disparity between male and female actors in general or how ethinic minorities are portrayed in films.

ok i will make another prediction
Brexit will be a disaster - but mainly for the people that voted for it (so in a way has an element of natural justice about it)
and ditto Trump
so happy to revist in another 7years
it will be interesting to see who gets the blame
With respect (exhibiting none) and without causing offence (while actually offending an entire nation). Good going, and JTaylor lives in their midst yet finds it amusing. Better hope the local Taffs don't find out!
