That is a nearly year old article, they fired him when he was a mere billionaire bringing jobs and investment to Scotland, firing the US President from anything is above their pay grade. They will be all over him licking his boots before long.

I'm sure Trump will be making house prices in Wood Green a top priority.

The standard thinks so too ...

"Meanwhile Peter Wetherell, the boss of Mayfair estate agent Wetherell, noted that Trump “as president brings to the White House a property industry person for the first time in history”."


:rotfl: White House could end up HMO compliant yet......:rotfl:


So some sensitive foreigner is going to be too upset to live under Trump so they will rush to live in a UK on the verge of Brexit? Total guff, there is now a massive over-supply of "luxury" flats in London, it is ripe for a correction.

Alarming to see so many people demonising learning. Calling us "the liberal elite."
You sent us to school. What did you expect? Ignorance?

There's nothing good, intellectual, pious or right in learning left wing "liberal" values of "tolerance". You only need to look at the protests going down in the USA because they lost.

I don't remember Mitt Romney supporters burning the flag and chanting obscenities at Obama.

This was the worst I could find:

Look at the utter hypocrisy of the left, slamming these minor infractions when Obama took his 2nd term, and then going out on a social justice warrior rampage when Trump gets office.

I don't think it's globalism people are against, I think it's this (and your?) brand of politics.

Not everyone who disagrees with you is a tinfoil hat wearing nut job, or Hitler.

Maybe, just maybe, they think things like self-identification as a non-binary gender need to stop. Amongst other things.

Why do certain types use "liberal" as an insult? Being in favour of learning other people's views and challenging your own is hardly a bad thing

I've just done a thread on the toxicity of condescending liberal politics;

The modern liberal is undiluted authoritarian coupled with condescension and smug sanctimonious arrogance, the result of which is the working class abandonment of this pious liberal sneering class.


I'm a proud deplorable.

I'm genuinely struggling to use the term liberal now, they're anything but. Part of being a liberal is striving for equality, believing in free speech which means you might be offended, safe spaces should be called dogma spaces, believing in the free market which clearly they don't as egalitarianism is the order of business for the left. The equality of outcome rather than the equality of opportunity. That is discriminatory in itself.

I'm sure that Mr Trump's supporters would have just shrugged their shoulders & got on with things had he lost (or perhaps had the election stolen from him by the corrupt system led by crooked Hillary & the lying media, depending on your point of view of course)

Need to sort out those intellectuals too and people with glasses.
