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!

I agree that you have a point about saying the unsayable. That's why I loved Derek and Clive so much as a teenager.

I honestly don't know why Trump got away with it. Maybe because it's part of his anti-politician persona.

Replace "free trade" with "fair trade"

Tell Ford Motor Co.'s president that unless he cancels plans to build a massive plant in Mexico, the company will face a 35 percent tax on cars imported back into the United States

On his first day in office, Trump would get rid of gun-free zones at military bases and in schools

Deport the almost 11 million immigrants illegally living in the United States

Target and kill the relatives of terrorists.

Get rid of Obamacare

The Environmental Protection Agency might disappear

Build a wall along the southern border, and make Mexico pay for it.

I think you're right on his anti politician persona. And re schoolchildren, in case I muddled up meanings - I didn't mean Trump's supporters are like schoolchildren, I don't think that at all, I was equating the amusement factor that is being obtained from his tirades to being the same schoolchildren get. Nothing funnier than a good swearathon at times.

In addition to FR's list wasn't Trump saying no Muslims would be allowed to enter the US? Except Sadiq Khan of course. Is that still 'policy'?

Ah, according to the Independent, that bit of policy disappeared from his website the day of the election

Another quote "The most qualified candidate in a generation was defeated by the least qualified of all time. That is what misogyny looks like, and, like all bigotries, it will end up dragging us all down."

It seems that being kind and reasonable in out, narcissism and nasty is in.
