Re: The Donald Trump thread

But I've never known you call out right wing media for what it is.

I have done! Daily Express is by far the worst newspaper in the country in terms of balance and bombast. Daily Mail is entertaining enough at times and has a great website. It's biased as hell though, but it has a much greater diversity of opinion that the guardian. The Sun - I don't think anyone takes it seriously politically, but it can be entertaining. Telegraph - decent enough journalism and comprehensive reporting but old school cucumber sandwiches conservatism. Not a patch on the Times which is a great paper.

Talk Radio - I never listen but I generally hate call in shows as it's just listening to clickbait instead of reading it.

GB News. Less balanced than it thinks. Far more balanced than it's detractors think. Pretty open minded in terms of discussing bigger issues in all honesty.

My policy is that the truth nearly always lies somewhere between the Mail and the guardian

Many people with opinions were not elected.

Incredible, isn’t it.

You and me and the Pope amongst them.

One of the differences between you and Springsteen is that you are preaching to a handful of old lags on a football message board; he is talking to a huge crowd at a Manchester arena.

The other difference is that you are consistently wrong and he is right.

But glad we could clear that up.

My band Simple Minds lost a vast part of their audience after the Street Fighting Years Tour, you could argue that they just are a shit band I put it down to the politics nonsense on this Album,
This is your Land
Biko (Cover)
Belfast Child
Mandela Day
I used to try and do say 3 gigs a tour, the only gig i did for this album was the one in the National Stadium which was essentially a bore fest of Jim Kerr bleating on about Amnesty international, artists against apartheid, Mandela etc. etc. great causes but of the 30 odd SM gigs I've seen by far the worst, when i go and see a band i just want the music, the song says the message and that's fine, we know Springsteen hates him and again that's fine but he has his social platforms for this stuff, I did see Springsteen at the National Stadium and enjoyed his gig. But there was no preaching from the stage. Ricky Gervais had it spot on when he roasted Hollywood. Get on Stage thank your mum, no preaching and FcUK off.

How does a band who wrote this material evolve into DYFAM, Alive and kicking,!!!! This fear of God's is the stand out track for me but when in an upbeat mood I like Room on volume 12

Respect due. I'm starting to see you in a different light all of a sudden

Real to Real Cacophony through to New Gold Dream are all mighty fine albums. When the mood suits, I can listen to the next two too.

Trumps new plane is actually a plane that Qatar are desperate to get rid of.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

He is the principal beneficiary of the use of a luxury jet and you don't see any story in it? Come off it.

BTW there's a decent bet to be had that all the deals with the US will turn out to benefit him and his entourage.

The story IS industrial scale corruption and cronyism.

You're defending the orange man baby again.

I agree, and furthermore he should be using public transport (bus/train) whenever he is on government business.
