I wondered if anything of interest was happening there and, if so, whether anyone would care to give an opinion.

'Much Biden in the Marsh'.

Basically an elderly OAP sits at his desk issuing executive orders overriding everything and declaring that democracy has prevailed.

The US just has to hope he is not another loony or senile but there is no guarantee in a system that gives unlimited powers to one individual.

Wish him luck anyway he seems to be making all the right noises.

Had that summation been available yesterday thousands of talking heads would’ve been made redundant.

Man in his late seventies who now believes the military is full of white supremacists, hides behind thirty thousand of them for the opportunity of ruining what remains of his country.

Trying to work out which stage of grief you're at. This seems to be somewhere between depression and acceptance so you're nearly out the other side

I was hoping for a delay of four years before what's to come yes.....the grief will be somewhat real for others.

I've just been looking at your Twitter feed.

In all seriousness though it was refreshing to hear a US president talk of unity yesterday rather than deliberately stoking division. Hopefully it won't just be lip service. He has a big job on his hands.

Hopefully it will stop our politicians over here copying the Trump playbook of 'alternative facts'/lying through your teeth and then doubling down when held to account on it. One can but hope.

The guy who compared conservatives to Nazis then talks about unity, while his lackeys persecute them.

You just see what you wish to see.

Yeah, hence the hopefully it's not just lip service comment. It is exhausting all this hating the other side isn't it. Brexit exacerbated it over here and Trump has in the US over the last 4 years. It never used to be like this did it?

She's an inverted Medusa.
She needs a skirt that big to hide all the snakes.

I thought 'hating' was something you got a kick out of.

As for why society is far more polarised than in the past even explaining that is polarising.....essentially it doesn't really matter what we think, what will be, will be.

As for myself I'm getting bored with politics.....Trump was fun, now he's gone, Johnson use to be fun, now he's a cucked pale impression.

Nah I don't 'hate' anyone just for their political views. I do think people should be called out for being wrong or for having formed an opinion based on misinformation though.

We all have far more in common when it comes down to it don't we? And most people genuinely mean well and have the best intentions at heart. There's only a small percentage of people that are genuinely nasty c words.

I have two boys to support and considering Nick Gusset is trying to ruin me financially by running a Twitter page against me, let's just say that I don't regard the politics you both advocate for as having good intentions.

In Britain the worst for division was Thatcher. Originally women voted for her. Then basically London and the South East as she favoured the City. The rest of the country hated her. There was no Labour/Tory reconciliation. There was basically fighting on the streets. Dole was about a tenner and an entire generation lived on petty to more dangerous crime. You are currently reaping the benefits.
Thatcher devastated non Tory areas on purpose but there was always another thing to keep her in - often tenuous enough. Her own husband and son branching off into illegal arms dealing barely gets a mention. And her own party wanted to stab her in the back. Yet, Tories still think she was great. That's divisive for you. Really Trump didn't even get close - despite the media fury.

That sounds mad mate. I presume he won't succeed.
