Scottish independence and different trade rules for Northern Ireland compared to the rest of the UK :shh.

While Brexit will happen which will please most over there as they were/are sick to death of it, it is still only a idealistic concept. The negotiations to fill in the details still needs to occur. Brexit (or no Brexit for that matter) won't bring back the large-scale manufacturing and coal mining jobs of the industrial revolution nor the old Empire. Got to love Farage already putting out caveats (he wanted a no deal Brexit). Takes credit for this election result delivering Brexit but watch him turn on Boris if the latter's deal with the EU doesn't live up to expectations or worst turns pear shape economically.

Good news for Australian exporters though if an open free trade agreement is signed. The pommie farmers won't have anymore EU protections and subsidies to rely on. Oh well, they voted for it.

Just what the world needs. More instability and the potential for another war in the Middle East  ::).

Which numbers would they be?

the numbers he Trumpets (eg tax cuts) and then are proven by media like USA Today, the NY Times and Boston Globe prove are false??

Trump is a dangerous lose cannon who has damaged the office of President

the only reason he will be found not guilty at his impeachment is because the Republicans control the House. Just like other presidents before who have been impeached he will get off ONLY because of the controlling numbers.

Funny how the Republicans are not applying their high moral code on this impeachment like they did against Clinton

Sad thing is even one of his own party members addressed the trail and said he should be found guilty and witnesses should be called but the majority of GOP members have voted to not allow witnesses which beggars belief. But like here, everyone is focusing on saving their jobs rather dong what is right

how is the economy going? Must be going pretty crap since he has no idea what he is doing, approval rating is on the up and is dangerous. :lol :lol :lol :lol

economy
wages
unemployment down to record lows.

pretty good signs for a dangerous president that was supposed to kill us all, and the honourable hillary was to have us all live in prosperity.

Reckon their economy as about out as good as ours and ours is pretty sick.

Wages and unemployment are not a records lows, Trump may be trumpeting that but agencies that would know are saying thst is another of his lies

I posted 3 newspapers not just one. Can list some more if you like. Even ones who have supported him. Except for Murdoch media, they don't count as they wouldn't knpw impartial if it bit them on the backside

You cant discount the Murdoch Media. Theyve been a media basrion worldwide for years. You dont have to like them or agree but Murdoch has run media to make money and he did it beautifully. Even selling at the top of the market. The bloke is and was a genius.
