The General Political Thread

I don’t see what your point is Gordo?

If only deduction was a God-given ability, right?

Sure beats the naked blockades they've deployed in Germany (not saying that Hull's are a great improvement, lol).

[Toffee]

I was wondering how that relates to politics in any way.

[Edwin]

Well I'm glad you asked, Toffee!

Strictly speaking, the deployment of anti-terrorism countermeasures such as security blockades due to the activities of politically motivated groups such as ISIS is in fact directly related to politics. Humour was also a driving force I suppose, with that pic being a perfect representation of 'the west' in 2017 and all. 

[Toffee]

Right

[Riddlez]

For once I agree Gordo

[Piercee]

Hey well Gordo, atleast some angry mob can't tear that down if it were to be deemed offensive for them, so it's also a great solution for that issue!

And the rest of the world. Even the British Primeminister has said he was wrong. If you don’t know who Britain First are then you should know that they’re known as being racist and Islamaphobic. The President of the USA sharing their stuff is basically saying he’s anti Muslim.

I mean I agree he's a moron when it comes to tweeting but more importantly if our tax reform passes your country will suffer a hit, unless you guys compete and lower corporate tax rates for foreign entities. That should be bigger news than anything else

Other than the fact that the President of the biggest superpower in the world is an Islamaphobe? That’s pretty huge news

I struggle to give a fuck about US politics/Trump/etc. Perhaps as much as 90% of what gets reported in the British media about US politics is totally irrelevant to me. Was bad enough having the BBC give me constant updates about stuff like Obamacare, as if I or any other normal person cares about American health insurance, and now with Trump it's even worse.

Trump re-tweets controversial stuff on Twitter, well f*** me what a surprise. The worst thing is Trump probably won't get re-elected in 2020, and will replaced with an uber-liberal 'anti-Trump' Democrat and I'll hear no end to BBC stories about gender-neutral toilets being installed in the White House or whatever.

[Toffee]

so the president of the USA shouldn’t be held accountable for what he says and does? Because this is some pretty big shit, maybe the most controversial thing he’s ever shared on Twitter.
