So Trumps newest brainwave is turning the Gaza strip into Trumpland and scattering the Palestinians to the four winds.

Actually if you say it fast enough it doesn't sound all that bad an idea, asking Egypt and Jordan to take the bulk of Palestinians while he builds a millionaires playground on the site {with a large American military base permanently stationed there of course}. Netanyahu's all for it as it rids Israel of the Palestinian problem, unfortunately it won't rid Israel of the Hamas problem which is what caused the conflict in the first place they will still be lurking in the background.

Domestically if you have a problem with your next door neighbour and it's ongoing and no resolution in sight then one way of settling it once and for all is if one or both parties move. 

High tarriffs  what's that going to do,it's going to end up tit for tat and the only people losing out are the customers.

Canada alone sends billions of dollars worth of automobile parts to the U.S. for car production each year.
Strangely enough China only gets a 10% tarriff whereas Canada {U.S. next door neighbour}  gets landed with 25%.

When I was a young {good looking} lad just leaving school and starting work, I was blissfully ignorant of politics and overhearing a conversation on politics by a couple of my older workmates one said:-
"Why can't we just get rid of all the M.P.'s and pay the 12 best brains in Britain to run the country". That was in the mid 60's,I believe that conversation is just as relevant now than ever.

Just been looking at some {approximate} figures for the countries population census..

2024...........69 million
2023......68.5 million
2019.....67 million
2001....58.5 million
1955.....51 million
1951.....43.5 million
1841.....20.5 million
Daily ratio 2024 {approx} was deaths 1836.....births 1872.....intake of migrants 1142

From 2019 to 2023 we lost thousands to Covid yet the population still increased!! from 2019 to 2024 {5years} it increased by just 2 million, yet from 1955 to 2001 {46 years} it only went up by 7.5 million? at this rate we will be fit to bursting in another 20 years.
 

If I'm correct and the U.S. follow the same lines with secrets as we do {stay locked for 50 years} it will be a very long time before anyone will see the 9/11 documents.

I wonder if we will get a peek at the files on area 51??

This behemoth of a "resort" sadly won't stop the floods in and around Chesterfield now and in the future, money being spent that is needed before all these pie in the sky ideas.

Didn't catch the inauguration speech but what I did hear of it on the news is he's going to put men on Mars!!

I actually think that's where he's from.

Bezos Musk and Zuckerburg were there, just think between them they could BUY Britain, why not? we've had worse running it.
