Either way, I’m not sure in the UK we’re in a very strong position to point the finger across the pond at how badly Trump managed the pandemic. The horse's mouth: Birmingham population | Population and census | Birmingham City Council But I agree pointing fingers is sort of useless. Understanding the underlying causes priceless.

Popular Post TheAuthority Posted January 20, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2021 This is it. What a relief. All my life I've hated politics and especially politicians but after the trauma of the last 4 1/2 years and the PTSD it's caused so many I can't help but feel a little hopeful about this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've never really cared as much as I do now. 4 more years of Trump would have genuinely been soul destroying 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just reflecting how nice it's been not hearing his poison and childish responses plastered all over social media and the news. Hopefully he stays silenced and fades to obscurity (well preferably prison) now. The last thing the USA needs is him continuing to incite his evil henchmen from the sidelines and continuing to influence the Republican party. They really need to agree the impeachment to exorcise him from their ranks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Just watched a snippet of the ceremony. Some bloke singing, creased me up. Reminded me of a scene from coming To America. I remarked to Mrs Sidcow what do we get with a new Prime Minister? A quick wave to the cameras on his way into the doors of No 10. as the former PM is slinking out the back* Then I thought actually NO ONE does pomp and ceremony like we do, but of course ours is for Royals who are heads of state. The President IS the Head of State so it's a bit different from our mere Civil Servant. * There is a Downing Street in The Black Country and number 10 is a factory site. On the side of one of their buildings they have created a replica of the 10 Downing Street door Edited January 20, 2021 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted January 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2021 Plenty of predictable jingoistic and religious bollocks, as you'd expect, but still a refreshing change after four years of puerile and poisonous ranting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
