    I feel that Mr. Ed was a far more stable genius!!

      Er, while I quite agree that Trump is nothing but a carrot-colored shitstain on the fabric of American history, I watched your last election and on stage running for the same position as your Prime Minister was a guy with a bucket on his head and a guy in a furry costume.

      So I'm not entirely sure England has the right to be amazed at who runs for office over here.

        Indeed, but whilst we have fringe "Loony Party" candidates in our local elections, they're not taken seriously and invariably poll only a few hundred votes. Crucially, such people would never get to lead a major party and have no chance of heading the government.

          Ally, that's a brutally honest description of Trump - and from an American too. That has to be worth a billion of any insults a Brit could come up with.

            I adore some of our 'loony' candidates. It is particularly satisfying when 'Arsewipe Toiletbrush Floormop Trevors' polls more votes that the UKIP candidate!

            Wasn't there a Monty Python sketch along a similar theme?

              Yup - "Election Night Special", featuring Kevin Philips Bong (Slightly Silly Party) and Tarquin Fintinlimbim Limbim-Bim-Bim-Bim Bus-Stop F’Tang-F’Tang Olé-Biscuit-Barrel (Very Silly Party)

                Love it, Limehouse!

                Our 'loony' candidates perform an important function on the fringes. But if we ever voted in sufficient numbers to put a real loony in charge of our country, we'd be just as much in need of a check up from the neck up.

                By the way, cream tea lovers everywhere, I say "scone" to rhyme with "stone", while my other half - a Londoner like myself - insists it should rhyme with "gone". I think "sconn" sounds a bit faux posh and affected, but I guess it's a matter of taste. Like whether the cream goes on the scone first or the jam:

                Devonshire cream teas have been made with cream on the bottom and jam on top ever since their origin in Tavistock Abbey in Devon, where the tradition of eating bread with cream and jam began in the 11th century. This origin of the Cream Tea is disputed by the Cornish who believe the only way to serve a cream tea is with the cream on top. Historically, there have been more variations between Cornish and Devon cream teas than just whether jam or cream is placed on top. In Cornwall, the cream tea was traditionally served with a


                Personally I like to butter my scone first, then put the jam on, with the clotted cream piled on top.

                Good for clotted arteries but very heaven!

                  Hi Caz,

                  That's the Cornish method, isn't it? You must get some odd looks in the tea rooms of Seaton.

                  I'm a 'scon' man myself (rhymes with 'alright, John') rather than 'scone' which sounds affected to me.

                  Here in Dorset there are no rules. Charles I once described Lyme as ' that Rebellious Towne'.

                    Ahhh the endorphin releasing group think....like a hit of Soma it was plus, plus good.

                    I do sometimes miss my Trump Delusion Syndrome.
                    My opinion is all I have to offer here,

                      On a side note, Green Day's American Idiot reached number 2. Couldn't get past the Three Lions song. Brits still love their footie more than they hate Trump.

                          I wasn't making a PC point, and many leaders of the western world are rich, white people anyway. It's just that they're usually expected to be intelligent, balanced, civil and well-informed, and most of them are.

                            This thread is so much fun. It has saved me from the distressing (and deeply depressing) tedium of responding to halfwits on our local newspaper facebook page who variously:

                            a) object to a sculpture that has been installed outside our local theatre because 'it would be better if we had more car parking spaces in town'
                            b) respond to our local MP's distaste for President Trump by writing 'she should shut up and respect freedom of speech'.
                            c) announce things like 'all you left wing snowflakes will be sorry when Enoch gets voted in again'

                            Thank you all so much.

                              Oh well! Not to worry! Big Don and Putin are best pals now don't you know? Along with their 'bestie' Kim, they're gonna save the world!

                                we'll know soon. Trump is getting new instructions from Putin as we speak.
