My condolences.

We like to think about where we'd emigrate to, but so far, even moving from one coast to the next is a bit much.  I just keep hoping for a miracle.  Our general attitude is one of dismay.  It's sad that the Brits are not immune from this kind of grievance based demagoguery.

My personal view is that the math doesn't match the demography. Reform will invariably do well from voters that are inclined to the right when the Tories lose their way, but I can't see them doing so well in the "smoke" or other Labour strongholds. As long as that battle between good and evil exists, I think we'll be alright -  but please don't quote me ...

I assume the carpet Putin and Trump buddied up on, was red due the Ukrainian blood on Putin's shoes.

Trump is a "useful idiot" for Putin.  He's never excelled at "the Art of the deal" or much else, besides playing a fictional good businessman with a penchant for firing people on a television reality show.  That he's succeeded in getting Americans to vote for him is god's own mystery.

They should make a Neville Chamberlain mask for Trump to wear.

Also, if Iran takes anything away from this whole thing, it's "get a nuclear weapon asap."  Since Ukraine agreed to get rid of its nukes, Putin has been emboldened to help himself to bits and pieces of its territory.  Do you really think he'd be invading it on subsequent occasions if he thought it likely that Moscow would be turned into an ashtray for his efforts?
