Refugee from that other increasingly sinister app. Might start posting once I’ve recovered.
Might help (albeit infinitesimally) if our PM didn’t tell the monster in question that he “respects him”.

I always liked doing that. I’d blagged my own way in to a programme day at Grandstand years earlier, and so did the same for anyone who’d made the effort to get in touch. Especially a Boro fan, under my own unofficial DEI scheme.

Agreed, we’ve never seen anyone quite so stupid, venal and amoral in charge of a major country in my lifetime. It’s absolutely terrifying.

Agree entirely, as a Brit who lived through that awful era. However, she was a paragon of rationality compared to the current demented chainsaw loons in the US. She wanted a smaller state, not none, abhorred tariffs & was architect of the European single market, horrendous old bag though she was.

She was heartless and cold, but rational and ideological, ie nowhere near as demented, reckless and downright clueless as the current US regime. She abhorred tarrifs and anything else she saw as irrational. Love from London

This is a facile and irresponsible comparison. As a Brit, I’m no fan of Margaret Thatcher, but her cuts were planned, rational and transparent. Musk and Trump are just thrashing dementedly at anything and everything with no concern whatsoever for the consequences.

The cruel irony of them sharing a surname with that cretinous, Brexity, Johnson-appointed peer…
