The Donald Trump thread

[Heathblue]

You could find trump in bed with your wife and you would find some sort of neo con libertarian get out clause for him

No you voted Tory

[Heathblue]

No you voted Tory

Lol, you keep saying this.
let's be 100 % unequivocal, I do not vote for anyone in GE's and haven't done for many years, I wouldn't
piss on any of them if they were on fire.
Trump is the vaccine daddy, you better than most should understand how i feel about vaccines and those who push them, Trump is a great tool (no pun intended) for getting under the skin of the ccmb massive, with a bit of Q nonsense as a Brucie bonus.
Now yourself, and fellow your CCMB massive club voted for the guy who has so far reneged on

Nationalisation of Public Services, He had little choice with Br. Steel

Taxation (Ni)

Winter Fuel Allowance

WASPI Women

Welfare Reforms

Let’s acknowledge that he’s only about six months in, and he might yet address some of these issues. But based on his performance so far, I don’t think that’s likely. He doesn’t govern for the people—he governs for his WEF backers, which, as you’ve already said, you don’t care about. Ultimately, this government is no different from the ones before it: systematic liars serving their real masters. He’s set to hand over the backdoor keys to major American insurance firms, paving the way for them to bleed the NHS even more than past governments. And like his predecessors, he has no real plan for immigration, with the population growing by the equivalent of a city the size of Manchester every year.
And if this isn't enough, Labour and the Tories before then have covered up and protected the rape gangs with one of his MP's describing it as a dog whistle, to be clear you and your squad voted for this, I never and never ever ever ever will for as long as i can breathe. Just because you want me to have voted Tory to give yourself some comfort doesn't mean it true. So live with your guilt of Starmer and own it.

anyone who didn't bother voting shouldn't really criticise those that did. or their "guilt".

If no one voted nobody would be elected. You really need to brush up on your logic skills

Yet you appear to support Trump?

Appearances can be deceptive, Stevo. I dislike the whole lot of them—hate might be too strong a word, though I do use it occasionally. Generally, I prefer love over hate. I noticed in a post above that RJK implied, as I don't vote, my voice shouldn't be heard (or words to that effect).
Looking ahead to the next election: we might have Starmer, possibly Badenoch (though I suspect she'll be side-lined), and then the so-called knight in shining Armor—Farage, the new people's champion. What, if anything, about this trio would motivate you to leave your house, walk 400 yards to a polling station, and mark an X on a ballot paper? Can you really spot a meaningful difference between them that would earn your vote?
Politics, in my lifetime, (allegedly) has always been corrupt. We used to tolerate it—brown envelopes for local councilors, a few backdoor deals at the national level—because it felt relatively minor. When I moved to my current home, the Lord Mayor of Cardiff lived directly across the road. He took neighbors to the Mansion House for a night out—food, drinks, a bit of goodwill. I don’t know what went on behind closed doors, but he seemed to live like the people he represented: just an average Joe.
That era is gone. Today, we have career politicians chasing influence, not serving the public. The brown envelopes have been replaced by multi-million-pound contracts handed to friends. COVID just made the corruption more blatant. I’ve used AI to look into the figures—yes, I picked on a Tory to keep Sludge happy—but for balance, it's a rot that runs throughout parliament.
How can anyone keep voting for these people when it’s just rinse and repeat? I genuinely don’t know what the solution is or how we reclaim any trust in the system. So I choose to abstain.

Baroness Michelle Mone was not directly "given" money during the COVID-19 pandemic, but she was linked to PPE Medpro, a company led by her husband, Doug Barrowman, which secured UK government contracts worth £203 million to supply personal protective equipment (PPE). These contracts were awarded in May and June 2020 through a "VIP lane" after Mone recommended the company to ministers.

Reports indicate that PPE Medpro made approximately £60-65 million in profit from these deals, with £29 million transferred to an offshore trust (the Keristal Trust), of which Mone and her children were beneficiaries. Mone admitted in 2023 that she stands to benefit from these profits but denied wrongdoing, claiming the contracts were fulfilled to specification. The Department of Health and Social Care has since issued breach of contract proceedings over a £122 million deal for surgical gowns, alleging they were unusable. The National Crime Agency is also investigating PPE Medpro for suspected criminal offences related to the contracts.

The £203 million figure refers to the total contract value awarded to PPE Medpro, not a direct payment to Mone personally. The exact amount she personally received or stands to receive remains unclear due to the trust structure and ongoing investigations.

So what if he does anyway?

Err, because he’s a sex offender?
