A: The Tories are far more left wing than America's right,

Are they, indeed? I wouldn't say so. Sure, they're a lot more subtle, but more left wing?

Tell that to the sick, the homeless, the unemployed and the disenfranchised. :coffee:

And we decide with our votes, we don't

Remember we had over 500.000 signed the petition against the BBC to install clarkson.

We are becoming the petition country. Laughable

I signed that petition by mistake, I thought it was for the BBC to impale him.

We have loads of those over here too, and we're run by a Labour/liberal-conservative coalition. People just put all that on Cameron in the same way people feel the need to unload on Howard for all of our ills here.

The problem is we can't even discuss Islam and isis these days.

The Tories are significantly to the left of the Republicans on pretty much every measure, on quite a few issues they're even to the left of the Democrats.

That's not the point.

There's very little to discern US & UK's political right-wing. Their policies are basically the same. Corporate over & above the individual.

The: 'You are what you own' mantra.

The only difference is how they go about it. We know the septics like to be all mouthy. Here in blighty (And Europe in general, but especially in the UK) they just sneak things in a bit quieter.

Recently though, there's been an increase in this government trying to 'steamroller' their policies through. Especially with welfare & the NHS. And look at the results they've had when they've attempted it.

Love the way our politicians have their say over Trump, sound bites for the media. Don't they usually stay out of this.

We can, and it's discussed on a daily basis in the news.

How on earth does one identify a person as being a Muslim or a Christian or a Jew or indeed any religion if you wanted to ban them from entering your country? What is the test? How do you know what a person's religion is or indeed if they have a religion at all? Trump makes Boris look slightly intelligent...
