Hi Gilly. Athelstan muddling through with WordPress. Excellent post (as usual) and a prime example of how the spirit of generosity endures. If only society were comprised of more like Chris Herbert and less like the two examples of ‘white Brits’

Pity Donald Trump, (a first generation American) doesn’t see this. But then, he is going for outrageous to keep his profile high, so, would probably dismiss it if he was presented with it.

oh, Trump … one of the things that horrifies me about American politics is that money can buy you a hearing no matter how brainless, myopic or prejudiced, it seems.

Well put Gilly. T already has a high media profile without having to spend much of his dosh. He is the equivalent of Alan Sugar. Trump is America’s face of The Apprentice. There are 16 or 17 republican candidates in the field, of them, Trump is the most readily named. Whether it will translate into presidential votes remains to be seen, but…… that’s where I would ‘stop the world ‘cos I would wanna get off’!!
