Re: Biden in London
Is he obliged to observe royal protocols? I'm not sure why he should have to - imagine not being allowed to walk ahead of someone
Re: Biden in London
As he is in the UK I would assume so

Guessing it wasn’t as bad as Trump’s wandering hands ?
I’m sure King Chally can get revenge on the reciprocal visit to the states by breaking the Presidential protocol and not carrying a firearm

Hopefully he will not try to sell out a European country to the russkies or maybe try to end Nato.

Re: Biden in London
Sleazy American politician - sleazy American President - Just like the last one and many before.
Voting for a politician because you think he is going to be less of a turd than the one before is liking having a different seafood dish at the same seafood restaurant because the last two meals you had there gave you the shits.

Re: Biden in London
Both sides have been using them since Day 1
Russia, Ukraine and the US still have no laws against them being used in war
The way you've phrased the question does rather suggest you didn't know about either
(I'm against it btw, but its not my country that is getting shredded by Russia)

You believe a lot of stuff that just isn't true on this

Re: Biden in London
Why would they pick up their game?Guller Bull wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2023 2:47 pmNot quite sure what you mean by do not get involved. I could offer you a bit of advice and tell you to become less involved and not vote next time. You would however probably jump down my throat and tell me that"if you dont vote for x,y or z then x,y or z are going to get in" I get that but again that's like picking the best of the worst and that isn't working
So until they "collectively" pick up their game 'kin substantially then I will exercise my right to not vote and carry on with the wisecracks ta.
Change does not come from the leaderships it can only come from the voters.
Trump is running again, and will win the nomination for Republican candidate, because 30 percent of their voters can not see him for what he is, and will not vote if he does not win the nomination, therefore damaging every level of the Republican ticket.
The voters are the problem.

Re: Biden in London
I was kind of hinting at someone refusing to vote.
Its like not eating a creamcake and then slamming the bakery.
The reasons politicians do what they do, is because the voters either:
A) let them
B) do not vote in protest.
The creamcake reference was not for lactose intolerant readers btw

Seems, probably unsurprisingly, quite a big deterioration in him over the past year or so.
Crazy that he’s even in that position given his age, never mind trying to do another term.

Do you actually believe this? In that case then surely you would be on the same thinking as me in that the real power that a voter has to show that they will not be misled into voting for a system that refuses to change, is to exercise their democracy and NOT VOTE. It is surely the clearest message that we wont tolerate politicians maintaining a knackered status quo.

The system is awful. But it is the system. Considering what he inherited, Biden is the best man for the job , so far.
He lets the experts make the decisions for him, like all good presidents have done.
The war in Ukraine would be completely different now, if somebody else had run and lost to Trump.
It would be over, and not in a good way.
Similarly, some young brash Democrat ,most likely would have had his arse handed to him by Trump or if not, maybe he would have been more adventurous and upscaled the war to involvement.
Who knows, but Biden has done OK, and OK in this **** show is as good as it gets.

Re: Biden in London
The problem I have with that is that it breeds an apathy. Political arguments don't create change they just chuck out red or blue smoke bombs which are designed to cause confusion and hide the root problems. Politics generally divides and you only have to look at the arguments on here.grapidianclaret wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2023 3:21 pmWe do share a level of agreement.

People become polarised by their political colour and cannot stray from the party line. It doesn't allow for free thinking and change.
So much time is spent at local and national government level arguing over petty political point scoring. Somehow we have to find a way to move forward, working together and sharing a vision rather than continually breaking each other into bits.
