Thought he might have gone for American Intelligence.

I’m surprised he hasn’t gone for Trump Intelligence.

I swear this guy is the emperor’s new clothes.
Even some of the bad politicians are trying to distance themselves.

Does he realise how fucking mental health sounds.

If he’d actually read 1984 he’d maybe realise he wasn’t on the side he thinks he is

Knows his audience, I’ll give him that. Sadly that audience is about thirty odd percent of the population.

I just tried it. It’s really interesting to see what people think about issues and how your views fit with or go against the majority.

2/6. I’m a left wing dissenter apparently. And somehow in the minority for wanting to ban single use plastic bottles, which is somewhat baffling to me.
Made a mistake of reading comments, I don’t understand how some people think. Can’t get rid of single use plastic it’ll upset the markets, oh boo hoo

So the Iranian bomb plot to blow up an RAF base story has a couple of small problems. They’re all British and there’s no bomb. They’re such serious terrorists they’ve been released

The biggest mistake here is releasing them on bail without context. You’d like to think they wouldn’t be released if there was any risk but when people see terrorist bomb plot and 5 suspects released it might help to give more details why they’re not in custody
Just makes people question the policing, including Trump for that matter

I think the media braying about it all like it’s a done deal before the fuckers have even been interviewed isn’t great either
No explosives found

Word is that they were actually fuel thieves.

That would make sense. Local plod saw a tank of liquid in the back of the van, freaked out, called the bomb squad and it all went mental from there.
