Brexit was just the first step in the larger plan:

I have seen something along those lines mentioned on a satire website, but isn't the Queen above all laws anyway? She probably could kill him but I would hate to be around for America's reaction.

And to kick out anyone who looks a bit foreign. Britain for the British!

It really is baffling if any racists (I'm talking real racists here, the word is thrown around too much) did vote to leave as they are in for a surprise when immigration from the Commonwealth increases. Proposals to fast track CW visas are due to be debated on Feb 26 and it is likely that immigration from other countries will increase as well as a result of future deals.

It will be interesting to see if Trump fucks up when meeting the Queen. The Brits go mad if someone even puts a hand on her shoulder when they meet. I hope Trump gives her a big hug, holds her hand or, grabs her by the pussy. I'm sure there will be some "royal gaffe" that will get the Brit tabloids going.

It's not that hard to understand. It's a mixture of brexit panic mode and the illusion of grandeur all the british conservatives display one way or the other. Special relationship and all, even it's a special relationship with a clogged toilet.

Oh dear, I hope he doesn't give her the Trump handshake

Above is the link to the transcript of the debate in parliament regarding the petition to downgrade the orange slugs ™ visit to the UK.

My own feeling is that we (Britain) have rolled over and prostituted ourselves forgetting the true values of our country, what do you guys think ?

Paul Flynn reminds us that English is a living language.

*The first petition suggests that cancelling the state visit would in some way deprive President Trump of his ability to speak freely, when in recent days we have had a ceaseless incontinence of free speech from him—the man is everywhere, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The other petition is saying not that he should not come here—he should come here, on business or other matters—but that he should not be accorded the rare privilege of a state visit.*

*There is no question of any disrespect towards the United States, but there is a great feeling of concern, which has welled up in this petition. The day after the inauguration, 2 million people, mostly women, marched on the streets of America and 100,000 people marched in this country. It was an expression of fear and anxiety that we had someone like this in the White House wielding such enormous power. The President’s power is enormous, but unfortunately his intellectual capacity is protozoan. We are greatly concerned about the extraordinary actions he has taken. He has blundered into frozen conflicts around the planet that needed delicate handling; they needed the microsurgery of decisions such as those that have been taken in the past by statesmen. He has gone in and caused problems in every area in which he has become involved: the South China sea, Ukraine, Israel-Palestine.*

*It is extraordinary that Trump, from the cavernous depths of his scientific ignorance, is prepared to challenge the conclusions of 97% of the world experts on this matter. He makes a bad science conspiracy theory conclusion when, apart from the nuclear issue, climate change is the most important issue of our time.*

Slugs, eh?



DLJ, I still think we're headed for a Butlerian (as in Octavia Butler) dystopia, climate change gone completely out of hand and all.

Damn it, I thought orange slug was my idea/invention but it looks like someone has beaten me to it.
Oh well nevermind, if only a sprinkling of salt could solve the problem of this particular slug eh ?
