I watched CNBC in the weeks before the election.

I can't say they were overly supportive of Trump. The sure gave Hilary a hard time though. Little quips, little digs. They didn't want to be on the losing side.

The interview with the Queen of Punk [url= http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/13/wouldnt-vote-for-donald-trump-or-evil-hillary-clinton-vivienne-westwood.html ] was typical of CNBC reporting.[/url] Let other people say it for you.

People are against unctrolled freedom of movement as its a stupid idea particularly between countries of significantly varying economic prosperity.

And yet 50 US states allow just that.

The EU isn't stagnant, I posted a graph that showed growth that I hoped you'd notice, Jamba. Even chosing a really unfavourable time period the EU shows growth, the UK too, but a bit less.

Growth since 2012 has continued before you point out that the graph is four years old.

US freedom of movement, yup that's the EU dream a United States of Europe - one of the main reasons I campaigned for Leave. The US had a civil war to get there. No thanks.

Many different graphs are possible, that's an adjusted gdp calculation. Unemployment at 10-12% France, Spain, Italy .... youth unemployment 25-40% and that's before we get to what the mismangement of the euro has done to Greece.

Wife told me TV where interviewing PS supporters who complained about having to give €4 to UMP but it was worth it as they don't want Sarkozy/Fillion so will vote for Jupe. Nuts.

Unemployment under 10% in France even if you include the DOM-TOM and 9.5% if you don't.

2e each to vote. And we got 7 pieces of paper with names on (6 of which we can keep) along with an envelope. There was a cheery welcome, we met a friend, good value for money. Junior's name was on the electoral register just below mine but "procuration" votes weren't allowed.

I really believe there were more FN voters intruding than socialists. Socialists have principles which include not funding the enemy hence the PS people moaning

Of course, Europe is not stagnant. It is growing slightly less than the UK

Trump and Leave addressed specific issues voters care about, that's why they won.

Addressed? They lied pure and simple. Their solutions are a mirage and the people who have put their faith in either will be disappointed and disappointed badly. They have been fooled by snake oil salesman and they will ultimately be the losers. Great shame.

We will have total control of immigration, the government of the day will decide how many people will arrive each year as we will have a visa based system from 2019 onwards. There will be no freedom of movement from the EU.

You admit you can't see into the future but you seem to think you know exactly what will be happening in 2019?
What failsafe systems will be in place (by 2019) to even know who is in the country as we don't currently?

I can't see into the future either but by 2019 I predict that very little will have changed and we will still have freedom of movement as part of the best deal we can get.

Just need to wait 2 years now to see who is right....

NONE of the mainstream media supported him, yet he still won.

Fox news was pretty supportive.

And of course the FBI sticking their oar in at the last moment didn't help.

Fox may be but not others as in this clip where Trump pointed out the Clinton's campaign team.

Watch 7:40 ...

Very funny clip.

Well those predicting the choice of an extremist candidate in the French primaries were wrong. We have Fillon and Juppé, two different flavours of mainstream liberalism. I'm more sparing with my predictions than Jamba but my 50p goes on Fillon to be next president. I think a lot of people voting today felt they were voting for the next president and if I'm right he was chosen by around 2% of the population, today. The right-wing, church-going, business-owning French have had their day.

Edukator Fillion more right wing than Sarko ? There where no extreme candidates today ? Stats I saw for voting where something like;

Centre/right 63%
Left 15%
Wouldn't say 14%
Front National 8%

As I said a crazy process where so many opponents of Republicans can vote for their candidate

Agreed whoever wins the Republican slot (most likely Fillion) is going to be favourite come April/May, tactical voting and all that. Even if Le Pen is ahead it won't get reported.

Happy to wait @kerley

In terms of fiscal and economic policy Fillon is further right than Sarkozy. In terms of cleaning up places with a Karcher he is less to the right. He represents la France Manif pour tous: conservative, Catholic and selfish. The closest to Thatcher France has seen. I'm clearly being manipulated by my local media so don't take any notice of me. 😉

If those really are attempts at drawing swastikas I don't think we have much to fear. It looks like a first attempt by someone who has only a vague idea what a swastika looks like and no idea which way it rotates.

Yeah there's no way the Nazi loving, white supremacist followers of trump would ever paint swastikas on a park named after a Jewish guy, must be Hillary supporters obviously.

Either way the sprayer hasn't twigged that Trump has a Jewish daughter and supports Israel.

Interesting point Edukator

Can't remember old Adolph saying much about Mexicans, and history tells us that he had a strong relationship with Islam, nazi propaganda even suggesting he was the twelfth imam.

There's no evidence at all that Trump has any problem with Jews (and as a New York businessman, it would be hard to have avoided dealing with them)

So we are left asking who exactly are the only people running around saying he is a Nazi? Oh, guess who, the hysterical left once again.

So the Nazi's disliked difference, hated and demonised a religion, didn't get on well with their neighbours, were intolerant, didn't really like the disabled and people who were not straight. Sounds like a Trump & Pence ticket, the only difference is that the Nazi's did actually listen to their scientists...

The common theme is intolerance of others, the idiots who follow don't follow it all just the shouting and the #MAGAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA chants - they know how to do it....

Swastika graffiti are fairly common in many parts of the US, and have been for years. The white supremacists who daub them might see Trump as a kindred spirit or the could equally be his opponents trying to smear him. I think its very naive to think this couldn't happen.
This is an interesting read.

No they didn't. Their role was acting as political agent provocateurs (not the lingerie manufacturer).

Donald J. Trump
?
@realDonaldTrump

Many people would like to see @Nigel_Farage represent Great Britain as their Ambassador to the United States. He would do a great job!

what will the man child do if he doesn't get his way ?

We destabalized the Middle East because the USA told us to. I'd have thought letting the USA choose our Ambassadors would be minor in comparison.

heil trump 😯

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/richard-spencer-speech-npi/508379/

That’s how Richard B. Spencer saluted more than 200 attendees on Saturday, gathered at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., for the annual conference of the National Policy Institute, which describes itself as “an independent organization dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the world.”

Spencer has popularized the term “alt-right” to describe the movement he leads. Spencer has said his dream is “a new society, an ethno-state that would be a gathering point for all Europeans,” and has called for “peaceful ethnic cleansing.”

So Trump won't pursue Hillary via a special prosecutor. My guess is Obama has told him unless he stated that publically he would grant her a Presidential Pardon. Messy business.
