The unacceptable must be challenged lest it becomes the norm. Travel fan with good Portuguese, average French, rapidly becoming a grumpy old man.

Boiled down to its simplest form "two wrongs do not make a right".
Both sides of the argument need to stop, think, sit down and start talking about a solution. Period.

I really don't care what it is called, but any move to make working in, travelling to / from and trading with the EU has got to be better than the crap Brexit deal we have now.

Just to be clear - whilst I welcome the reduction of tariffs on UK goods, I will not buy or consume any US beef or agricultural produce. No one can make me. If it does not have country of origin info on the label or on the menu - I'm not buying it.

Europe is our biggest market. We do not need a US trade deal, we need to give some people's heads a wobble and start talking about EU Customs Union and Single Market.

I've noticed a number of TV adverts recently for holidays in the US. I know it's "that time of the year" but I think there are more than in previous years. I wonder if tourist numbers are dropping faster than Tesla's stock price?
BTW I hear 🇨🇦 has some beautiful tourist spots!

trump should arrested for treason and his government replaced by a coalition until elections can be run.
Until US can find out who else in Trump's gov is in bed with Russia and restore its own security, none of us are safe.

So trump flies on the taxpayer $ to a golfing weekend in the sun, whilst vance goes to spend the weekend skiing (disrupted by protesters - good on 'em).
That's nice.
Meanwhile, Zelenskyy carries on working his ass off, trying to save his people from being killed by their murderous "friend."

You say thank you for gifts.
Zalensky has said thanks to all countries who have helped Ukraine hundreds of times.
Now Trump wants a "deal" which gets more $ back than the US has spent and he wants Zalensky to say thanks for being screwed over?
Trump is a bully and a disgrace.

Regarding JD Vance speech: classic dead cat. Distract from real issues by picking on a highly emotive issue that whether true or not, will get everyone talking whilst ignoring the actual threat.

The list of companies I'm boycotting is growing (any that supported Brexit, doesn't pay taxes, exploits its workers etc) is now being extended to include countries: Russia USA Israel Iran to name but a few. I realise that I might end up eating home grown, but so be it.
Just cancelled trip to US.

Help for Judge Merchan - as prison off the table, trump will probably weazle out of paying a fine, community service would be expensive (secret service protection etc) - given Trump's new found ❤️ of the Bible, how about something old testement: Sacrifice of 1st born son?

Twitter (X) is a threat to UK democracy. If Musk were lobbing grenades across our border, we would act (physically). Keir Starmer should shut X down now.
It's not free speech when Musk's critics are silenced.

Just been reading a thread on X about "chemtrails" in the USA and how "they" (gov? big pharmacy? Martians?) are spraying the population from aircraft in order to control the weather, crops, people et al.
Fascinating stuff... I had no idea! Thank God they have Trump to stop it all, eh?

Number of farmers seem to be labouring under the misunderstanding that they will have to pay 20% tax immediately, rather than after death. If they pass on the farm to their kids now and live for 7 years, there is no IHT. Not sure that this is the problem they think it is.
