Another banger, Mr. Gage. Dr. Sour's advice to the lovelorn provides a critical service for those of us who need help in effectively relating to the female species.

Haha my heart bleeds nor for the freaks who think murdering someone who believes in free speech, does not believe in (ahem) multiculturalism; does not agree with skin colour being a passport to a scholarship, performing brain surgery or a Nobel prize, and thinks abortion on demand upto the moment of birth is an atrocity, is a Good Thing. Let their pokey wokey friends give them a job, and watch their businesses flush down the loo like the turds they are.

British politics always confuses me...😂 But your analogy of Wales being like California turning Republican clarified some of it.

On the whole progressives promoting immigrant wage slavery; I find it odd that I now have to lecture my Democratic friends on the fact (and yes, it is a fact) that cheap immigrant (particularly illegal immigrant) labor suppresses wages. He actually brought up "Who will pick the cherries?" argument (full disclosure...we both picked cherries as a kid). I pointed out that when I picked cherries as a kid in the 1980s I was paid the glorious wage of three.cents.per.bushel. Got that? Minimum wage then was 235 pennies an hour. So I would have to pick almost 80 bushels an hour to make minimum wage? That's why I quit...digging ditches suddenly was an attractive proposition.

At least you all have the whole Class System as an excuse. I always found it baffling that Americans loved Downton Abbey so much. Turns out it was a harbinger of societal attitudes here that didn't become apparent until that particular class of wannabe-aristocrats' life style was threatened...or at least their self-delusion of "noblesse oblige."

We fought a war to get rid of f***ing nobility; the last thing we need is to self-impose it on ourselves.

Best of luck to you all in the UK; you may not be better off but at least you may be headed for change faster than we are.

Yes. There's a reason I cannot sell turf for the same price as a diamond. According to the Very Clever People, that law doesn't apply to their hired help!

TBH I'm sure it flattered Trump's ego, but I think it's BS and a waste of taxpayer money. Though at least it's not US taxpayers footing the bill...😂
