    All sorts of craziness in America these days. Did you know that in some states, it is now an offence to have a rainwater butt on your property. The falacious argument being that it deprives water companies of resources. I think it may even be a federal crime.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    My Niece who lives in Houston was amazed when she saw my Solar panels.... Apparently they would seriously devalue your property in Texas and may make it un-sellable!

    I struggle to understand a nation where corporate profits are protected by legislation designed to criminalise citizens. I'm referring to the waterbutt's above as well as raw milk and Cider amongst other things. Why should a government care if you want to drink the milk from your own Cow? It's not as if they're going to foot the bill if you get Brucellosis! Which brings me on to healthcare. What's that all about? What civilised nation would allow it's poorest and neediest to suffer because they can't afford huge healthcare bills. Worse, it's not even a mistake or letting them slip through the net, it's Policy. By design. From the top. Truly incomprehensible.

    yes, its a fairly disgusting regime. He wants to make America great again, well he should start by trying to gain himself and his country some respect first... you cant gain respect doing what he is doing.

    I just cant get over the fact that he uses twitter in the role of President of America. He seems to use it as a troublesome schoolboy would and it brings no dignity to the highest office in the land.

    Making America Great Again is just a soundbite he has latched on to. How is he really going to achieve that when they have been shipping jobs overseas and jobs have been dying out for decades? He is going to make the rust belt boom again is he?

    Sorry but it all seems like a bad joke and I can't take him seriously. Heaven help America but it all has wider ramifications for the rest of the world. I switch the telly off if he appears.

    Theres a picture in the local art shop of Trump in the bunker with a load of cartoon characters like mickey mouse etc. Carnage reigns above and the caption reads something along the lines of "careful what you wish for"

    I don't know what bothers me more, him personally or the blind faith of his followers? Talk about defending the indefensible.......
