Didn't Beatles legend Paul McCarthyism try a similar movement with his 'Pipes of Peace' in 1983 (or was it 1950)? Unfortunately for Big Mac, it only peaked at number 15 on America's Billboard chart. Perhaps the Don's effort might top that.

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States led to the first - and only - Article 5 invocation in NATO history, by the USA. NATO allies loyally came to the aid of the United States, fighting together during its longest 'out of area' mission in Afghanistan. You should remember that

Following DJ Trump's set to the Davos massive this afternoon I feel positively inspired. Neighbour Arthur has a poorly-tended allotment which I aim to invade and decimate with pitchfork in hand! If he doesn't cede this land to me I shall threaten the use of neat weedkiller on his nasturtiums.🇺🇸🥀

and to think that Reform were in favour of Proportional Representation - if, like Labour and the Tories they find themselves (come the next General Election) with a majority seat share on the back of a minority of the 'popular' vote then their 'tune' will soon change.

We need more World leaders to have the same resolve as Mark Carney to stand up to Trump and let him know in no uncertain terms that he can't always get what he wants - lest we want a World full of 'Trump-type' leaders.

I almost copped a load of Betty's Fat Rascals when I was last in Yorkshire - they'd be more than a handful for any Jonny Foreigner pâtissier.

Can we supply Trump with a 'shopping list' of other dictators leading an authoritarian administration, ranking poorly on international measurements of freedom of the press, civil liberties, free and fair elections, human rights, anti-corruption - with huge oil reserves and severe economic hardship?

Surely we can't let our younger generations mix with 'Jonny Foreigner' cultures & expand their horizons? Badenoch & Farage need to trap them here, stifle such foolish aspirations out of them, force them into minimum wage jobs whilst paying huge rents to the property portfolios of older generations'

Doubtless, they'll wheel out Beckham again (having first bunged him a bit of dosh) to say that FIFA seat prices represent 'great value for money'.
