We'll have to agree to disagree on this one Sass, critiquing Melania for her former profession seems a bit too close to the way that the GOP demean AOC as being "just a barmaid" for my taste.

I am actually quite looking forward to the time when a practitioner of the world's oldest profession unapologetically switches to the world's second oldest profession and gets elected to Congress - the conniptions from both sides of the aisle who have made their way far less honestly will be something to behold lol
Maybe I wouldn't be so critical of her former profession if it was someone different. I find Melania a very repulsive human being and a disgrace to any profession she has been part of.

So I wouldn't mind either if a well deserve woman went from the world's oldest profession to become a president but if it is someone as heartless as Melania then I rather not.
 
Sorry, but no.

There are a lot of parallels between the mindset of Brexit and MAGA

Both are ideals that have divided our respective nations political left & right to the extreme. Both are ideals that have been pedaled to the public on the basis of lies, both have been championed by far right and racist provocateur's (Farage, Yaxley-Lennon, Hopkins, Paul Joseph Watson, Alex Jones, Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder etc.), both have aided the rise of nationalism and have been co-opted by far right groups, and both seem to generate supporters who have little idea of the repercussions of what they are voting for and will resort to repeating vague slogans when pressed on finer details (Take our country back, keep America great, taking back our freedom, taking power back from Brussels etc.)

I'm a Brit, but I take great interest in what happens in the US politically as I genuinely believe that what happens there has a massive influence on the rest of the world.

What is happening there now is a massive warning shot across the bow for us. We're not quite at the stage the US was on the 6th, but it shows what can happen if you allow the far right conspiracy theories and groups who pedal them to go unchecked.
The fact that there's a right wing 'Fox News' style news network (GB News) about to launch here should be another alarm bell.

The biggest similiarity of course - and its something that you can say about Scots independence as well, of course - is Murdoch.
