    The Tories exploit yet another crisis to make their rich pals richer and, naturally, the rest of us poorer, so what's new about that?  

    Let’s wait until Brexit: a crisis entirely created and designed for this very purpose...

    Just watched the news on tv.  In the US, many non-whites waving pro-Trump banners.

    What's wrong with the brains of these people?

    "brains"? what are they?

    Quite!

    I can only surmise that abuse and contempt don't bother them.

    Several months ago, I saw a programme on television about the opinion of various Latinos in the US and their attitude towards Trump.  Many of those interviewed were defending him because he would build the wall to keep other Latinos out, as the latter were known to be rapists, murderers and drug pushers.  Only strong Trump could solve the problem.  They themselves were "decent, hard working Latinos". 

    Reminiscent of anybody not so far away?

    The current Home Secretary, perhaps?  Apparently, her parents came to England penniless but under her rule, only...billionaires will be allowed in!

    I saw that programme too.   

    They have a president who is openly abusive and contemptuous to them, yet they themselves  appeared to hate their own people who are equally poor and equally desperate.   

    Utterly depressing.

    I vaguely remember seeing such a programma quite a while back, but I think I only saw part of it.  If I'm not misrememberig, it was a British tv presenter interviewing poor non-whites in a certain State- which one I don't recall.

    I believe he also spoke to some black Americans, living in dire poverty, who also stated they would vote for Trump because he, unlike Obama, would sort out the economy.  Nothing else seemed to matter to them.
  • If you’re poor in the US you don’t have the luxury of worrying about anything but the economy. 😞
