Urabug Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) So our worthy Liberal MP thinks the UK looks “craven” I would suggest if anyone looks craven it is “AC” himself. He obviously no longer respects UK democracy voting against the wishes of the majority of the UK citizens in the BREXIT article 50 referendum and now is criticising the proposed visit of the President of the USA who like it or lump it was chosen and elected by the American people. Trump has spent millions of pounds in Scotland creating many jobs and is now probably in the most powerful , influential position anyone can be so surely deserves some more respect whether we like him or not. Can we really afford to pick and choose or top political friends as we exit Europe Well I now know which party will not receive my vote should I even bother to vote again. The man is an idiot and no longer fit to represent the Islands.. Edited February 21, 2017 by Urabug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorrie Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 And used the same bullying tactics that he appears to be using as President. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equality Street Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Can we really afford to pick and choose or top political friends as we exit Europe So this is the cost of Brexit? Being forced to cozy up to delusional megalomaniacs? Maybe all those 'straight bananas' weren't so bad after all...

George. Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 It would appear that big Al Carbuncle and Trump the Stump have a lot in common. Neither can define "Democracy", never mind spell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorrie Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 ...... Trump has spent millions of pounds in Scotland creating many jobs and is now probably in the most powerful , influential position anyone can be so surely deserves some more respect whether we like him or not. ...... I wouldn't read too much into his 'job creation' in Scotland, Urabug: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/trump-fails-to-create-promised-jobs-and-investment-in-scotland-locals-say-a6801466.html But as a world leader, yes, we should allow him access to the UK's politicians.

Urabug Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Well Scorrie, we have to give him full marks for trying at least he has done something for Scotland ,more than most of us are in any position to do. Yes he has upset a few people in the doing but that is how business works. In business one may not like many of their clients but remembering who is providing the money and helping the success of that same said business, one treats their customers with guarded respect and their thoughts to themselves. This is where many of our eminent politicians have behaved very very badly and such behavior could have serious implications for us all if people like Trump take offence to it .If any of us had spent millions in the states for instance and had been treated in the way Trump has, would we not be taking our custom elsewhere. Whether we like the President of the USA or not he may be providing the bread and butter for some of us in a roundabout way. If he pulls the plug on say certain business deals it could have serious consequences for the UK Best we can do is accept him for what he is with tongue in cheek.

George. Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Best we can do is accept him for what he is with tongue in cheek. Best that we can do is make an effort to ensure that the rest of mankind is aware of exactly what a baloon has been voted in to look after America. Of course, he's been voted in by the baloons that live there and not the people that are wide awake but we all know what the Yanks are like.

I would not call Trump a baloon,I would call him ham-fisted as he certainly has some good ideas but seems to go about things the wrong way. If he was planeing a bit of wood it would certainly be against the grain rather than with the grain! Bet he would not have paid a terrorist $1,000,000 for all his faults.

Wheelsup Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 This democracy idea just doesn't work. They should never have given votes to the great unwashed. Voting should be restricted to people of merit. e.g. people in the professions, big business people and major landowners. However I expect there are safeguards built into the US system to take care of any reckless moves by the President. I don't think the balloon has committed any murder, genocide etc.so far. His main fault is that he still seems to be saying what he said prior to election. He is saying what his voters want to hear. He may well prove be a witless bar steward, and I cannot suffer him. But like Indyref and Brexit you have to respect the voters wishes, or start a civil war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only the ones that you refuse to vote for that get elected. The minute you show any support, they're out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
