Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

This will give you an indicator of the level of the chat in our house this morning:
QP: do you know what the first thing Trump is going to do?
Me: Build a wall
QP: no he's going to ban pre-grated cheese in America
Me: (stunned silence)
QP: because he wants to make America 'grate' again

I'm hoping that, like Zaphod Beeblebrox's Galactic Presidency, the American president is a merely a figurehead elected to divert attention from those that wield true power, and that all important decisions are made by a man and his cat living in a desolate, ramshackle hut.

Wriggling snake talks a lot of sense. You accept, you move on. Understand why it happened, personally I think race is the nettle people aren't grasping. Before TMW, tony and Spleen start up it isn't in a "they are racists" way. It is both more nuanced and more nebulous. It seems to be people are quite happy living/integrating with other races and people they know on a personal basis, but still maintain this "fear of the other", as a larger more generalised anxiety. People like the bloke next door, but fear the "faceless" masses in the estate down the road.

It wasn't some working class breakout: fivethirtyeight.com , it came from the white middle classes, and also partially Hispanic middle classes too. You can say anti-establishment, although if it was so, why wasn't the 2015 election here with the Eton toffs who remain secure in power as always after a few changes of deckchair on the top deck. I think France will probably go Le Pen now too, and then our Brexit vote will see small cheese really.

I'm no Trump fan, but some of you are bordering on the hysterical.
