I truly recommend reading it (link here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-protecting-american-monuments-memorials-statues-combating-recent-criminal-violence/ ).

I watched two versions of Scrooge over the Christmas period and had a thought that it would be good to remake a modern day Scrooge but with the roles reversed - with the Ghost of Brexit Future, the Ghost of Brexit past etc etc. I thought it would be good for a Brexiter to put himself in Scrooge's position to compare the lives. Then I watched the Angel Clarence stop George Bailey from ending his life and showing him what his absence meant in It's a Wonderful Life and again thought of post Brexit Britain.

Otherwise the forum isn't alive. Life is all about politics one way or another. I was trying to post about making things personal really because the thread then deteriorates into trading of insults. It was just a request and I did wonder whether to make it because I felt you wouldn't necessarily agree but decided it was worth the risk. It isn't the same as the rioters because they are not fellow posters. But... hey look I will disappear from here again too. I'm quite happy not to post my opinions. Just trying to keep the peace - I have nearly always failed before. Edited January 8, 2021 by sonyc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both have attacked the rule of law, the very democratic platforms on which both constitutions are built, appealing to those on the right wing and to the worst instincts in people. And neither have made their appeals based on anything they truly believe in (whatever that might be). And over all that time a lot of people have gone along with it. This is my big fear now. America will be fine, because we have a competent government in waiting. In two weeks time we can start the process of healing, and we have massive experience in the President, Vice President and Attorney General with law enforcement and reform. So you can expect to see rapid moves on police accountability, removing the rotten eggs, restoring voting rights and re-instating assault rifle and high capacity magazine restrictions.... with a few blood soaked "last stands" from the more nutter RWNJs no doubt. Boris and his team though are still plotting their anti-democratic course, and Covid / Brexit chaos (chaos being the whole point of such authoritarian governments) is giving them the cover for further attacks on the institutions of Parliamentary debate , remaining media independence and the courts. This also has to stop, and quickly. Edited January 8, 2021 by Surfer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted January 8, 2021 Now listen up all you RWNJ's. The golden rule of every "populist" revolution is that it isn't a populist revolution, it's a mob of useful idiots being lead around by elites then abandoned. i.e. it is not "the people v the elite" it is the elite v the elite. You are just fools. Now Senator Cruz is Harvard educated, not a man of the people. Same for Senator Hawley. And guess who took part in the insurrection on Wednesday - yes off duty police, CEOs and lawyers! So think about post-Brexit and who really wants control....

Van wink 2,994 Posted January 8, 2021 Pelosi expresses concern about Trump's access to nuclear codes Nancy Pelosi said she is committed to “preventing an unhinged president from using the nuclear codes,” in a new letter to her House Democratic colleagues. In the “Dear colleague” letter, the Democratic speaker notes that she spoke to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Mark Milley, this morning about “discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike.” Not a moment too soon!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
