He also believes is suing people  :thumbdn:

Quote
Over the past few decades, the self-proclaimed “very rich” businessman has sued people, businesses and entire cities and countries. He’s sued a newspaper, his ex-wife, a quaint business card store in Georgia and a Native American tribe. He’s cried breach of contract, government favoritism, fraud, and libel.

Trump sues when he is made to feel small, insufficiently wealthy, threatened or mocked. He sues for sport, he sues to regain a sense of control, and he sues to make a point. He sues as a means of saying “you’re fired” to those he does not employ.

But he sues, most of all, to make headlines and to reinforce the notion that he is powerful. Below, I picked some of the highlights, through a review of news coverage of filed and threatened lawsuits.

I wonder if he needs another lawyer  :zoinks:

I love it how Benji wants to get rid of the "newsspeak" but embraces their black-and-white stances.

Please we can we stay clear of these silly newspeak terms like "Eurosceptic" and "Brexit".  You either want to disolve your country's sovereignty or you don't.   

:zoinks:

Yes, you either vote "in" or "out".  Some things are black and white, not everything's grey.

Butterflies-

No I don't, but I'm saying if you're so in favor of mass immigration and multiculturalism, then move somewhere that gets 'enriched' the most from such forced policies, rather than move to the whitest country in Europe. 

Duncan Smith isn't even in the cabinet now, and he didn't "murder" people by hand, he made policies which were unfair, and some people killed themselves over it.  Ted Heath was the leader of the country at a time where the Prime Minister actually had power. 

Please we can we stay clear of these silly newspeak terms like "Eurosceptic" and "Brexit".  You either want to disolve your country's sovereignty or you don't. 

Yeah, regarding that Murdoch quote, it depends on the context.  He wants to get out of the EU, then why doesn't Downing Street just pull us out?  Why is Cameron hell bent on keeping us in?  And exactly, Brussels have more power, where as Cameron is just a puppet and a whore. 

Sorry, I'm not sure what the joke was about democracy in Britain?  Yes, they elected a Tory government and that was for numerous reasons.  For one, Cameron promised an EU referendum and people get too scared to vote for any party rather than the big 3 when it comes to the election.  Miliband was absolutely hounded by the corporate media, where as they let Cameron off the hook for any of his mistakes.  This was down to Labour voting against the strikes in Syria and him criticising Israel for its massacre in Gaza, where as Cameron was utterly silent about the Gaza massacre and was foaming at the mouth about attacking Syria.  That being said, you'd probably be rather content if Labour were in power even though they are virtually the same party and are controlled by the same people and interests.  I think it's a good idea to give the country more power yes, even though Cameron doesn't want it.  You should be backing Cameron, as he shares your stance. 

Settlement?  Voting to get out should mean exactly that, though you've made me think that we will probably still be in it pretty much in the same way, just without the name.  No it isn't important to remain in the single market, globalisation is the sickest thing on earth and i'm not sure why anyone could support such corruption.  I'm a nationalist, and even though a no vote would be a small step, we would still be controlled by corporate/globalist giants as well as the US and Israel.  Nothing will change much at all, but that's important for people to see.  I mean, you don't seriously believe that the corrupted crooks in Brussels care about people not being "discriminated against" when it comes to trade and movement?  They only care about money.  And i'm gathering you're a socialist?  Yet you're making a capitalist argument.  Real old Labour were against us going into the common market to begin with.

I've no choice but to back Cameron over the EU, even though I'm fizzing about him agreeing to the referendum in the first place. Apart from that, he makes me sick. The tory party in general make me sick.


Quote
That being said, you'd probably be rather content if Labour were in power even though they are virtually the same party and are controlled by the same people and interests.

I'm not a Labour supporter, but yes. Ideologically, I'm fairly close to Old Labour.
A lot would stay the same if Labour were in power, and yes, all the parties are probably, at least in part, controlled by certain people with vested interests. The Tories are evil, and gleefully so, in a way that Labour just aren't.  I think that part of the Tories appeal to certain people, is the way they victimize the vulnerable. Or to use Tory language, the way they incentivize the workshy :laugh:


Quote

You would probably describe me as a socialist. I would describe myself as someone who has some some socialist principles.
I believe in a welfare state. A strong safety net that catches anybody who falls through the cracks.

Yes, there are sinister forces at play in our government :laugh: I think that's a problem with our democracy, rather than the EU. I really don't think there's anything that will make our government more moral.

Wait, what?  You didn't want the British people to get a choice to vote on whether they want important decisions made for them by unelected crooks?  I still can't work out why you focus only on the Tory party, this isn't 1980.  Cameron is the self proclaimed "heir to Blair".  The Tory party is New Labour and so is New Labour obviously.  Corbyn is a breath of fresh air, but he doesn't have control over his own party.  So the Tories are no more evil than the Labour party (who would have made similar cuts after 2010 anyway).  There is a problem with "workshy" people in this country, but that has been intentional so that the majority support cuts, and Labour helped that mess.  Labour were evil in other ways and Cameron and co have just continued with those policies. 

I was guessing you were a socialist because of your support for Bernie Sanders. 

"Yes, there are sinister forces at play in our government"  Were you taking the piss?  Just look at the weapons we continue to sell to Israel and Saudi Arabia while they blow up schools and hospitals with them.  And how we have to do whatever the US asks or at least put it to a vote.  The EU is just another problem with our 'democracy'.  "I really don't think there's anything that will make our government more moral."  A trial at The Hague would be a good start.

I'm absolutely no fan of New Labour either. New Labour will screw you over, but the Tories will do it with a smirk on their faces. I detest what New Labour done to the Labour party. If we still had a genuine Old Labour who were an actual threat to enter government, I might be a supporter. I don't think it's worth getting behind Corbyn, because he's certain to be removed soon.

Actually, no :laugh: I was being genuine, but just said it slightly facetiously :laugh:
I agree with you on that point. I just don't see why you think leaving the EU will in any way change the situation.

I was going to ask who you voted for, but I guess it was some Hungarian Trotskyist  :zoinks:  I detest what New Labour did to the country.  That's a bit of a defeatist attitude though, not that i'm one to talk.  I think with the support he got online and stuff, people will go mental if he's removed. 

Oh OK.  Because it'd be the first step and we need a change of direction.  The government or media can no longer pretend we have our hands tied just because of the EU.  Did you not look at the Tony Benn speech?  I thought that'd also make it apparent that I don't dislike socialists just because of their politics.  I believe in a National Health Service.

Not surprising.  Trump talks about himself in the third person too.   :trump:

I don't vote, but if I did, it would be SNP. Not because I think they're awesome, but because I think Scotland should go it alone. It's not that I hate the UK. In fact, if the UK had a left leaning government, and Scotland was a right leaning country, I'd be all for "Better Together." I dislike the direction that England/Britain is going in at the moment. The Tories disgust me, and by the time Labour are a force again, Corbyn will be a goner, and New Labour will be back with a vengeance :(

I watched much of the video, and I disagree with much of him. Sure, the EU could be better, certainly more democratic. I adore the notion of free movement, and I don't like isolationism. Yes, let's reform the EU. I could get behind that, but NO, let's not leave it :laugh:

Illeism is often used for self-promotion, so it's probably fairly common with politicians. Jack merely finds it personally amusing and fun.
