    No excuse for 'straight up fraud' and groping. Nice try though. He is a ducker and diver and a blagger - maybe ok for you as he is a business man, but that is not the qualification for the leader of the free world. The USA is not a business. Other rules do apply when you are president elect of...

    Obama? May? How many people are taking them to court over non-political claims? None. Trump has several brewing....

    Hillary / US Election Thread

    This is not a serious president elect. He is a ducker and diver. If he can get away with something, he will do it. If not, ok pay up, better luck next time. A blagger - albeit a rich one.

    Red Bull Coventry?

    Leipzig is the fastest growing city in Germany - 18000 new people last year. Population 560000 They had a modern stadium that was loss making. No Bundesliga club nearby. Catchment area including Halle ( virtually next door). A great decision by Red Bull. They are renting the stadium and...

    Red Bull Coventry?

    Our problem, is that although we are sklint as CCFC, we are effectively owned and controlled by Joy. They would not be dealing with a skint club, but with a hard nosed hedge fund who would probably see any approach by Red Bull as an increase in value for CCFC. I assume she would ask for a high...

    Telegraph Spin

    Who buys a programme? I thought sales were going down and down. It's irrelevant either way.

    I said 2008, but the DJT quote was 2012: On election night 2012, he incorrectly tweeted that Mitt Romney had won the popular vote but lost to Barack Obama: "He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!" In a subsequent post from that...

    sky blue trust - useful or misguided

    Only problem there is, who do we (CCFC) replace him with? We are up shit creek without a paddle. It would solve no purpose to replace him without a change in our finances. If he goes, we want a major sponsor or bored billionaire to appoint his successor and give whoever it is a few million to...

    These are "dreadful people" - bad white guys, whereas Obama is, according to Farage, a "loathsome creature" - bad black guy. The choice of "creature" as opposed to "people" seems to be a relapse to his 70s youth in the days of the National Front's popularity, when he, apparently, according to...

    "What we are witnessing is the end of a period of big business and big politics controlling our lives" This was posted on 09 November by one of the two men in a golden lift at the palatial home of one of the world's biggest businessmen. The businessman wants to round up and deport 3 million...

    I gave an example of how a small minority can swing an election because they have been misled or have misunderstood. You have given another. I think there should be some recourse or punishment for the lies of the digusting campaigns that we have had recently.

    I am blaming Trump, although blame is not the right word. He saw a market opportunity and he took it. The responsible politicians hold the ball flat when you talk about race, sexual preferences, abortions etc.. Trump knows that and sees his opening. He is not responsible, he would do anything...

    I actually said that they should have a right to some genuine information to come to their decision ( a bit different to your interpretation). They can still vote for his hair, but to lie to them and frighten them is not the way to achieve a real democracy. There should be some accountancy for...

    True. But they should have the right to make an informed decision- a yarn yes, but the depths of dirt and lies in the USA and to a certain extent here, take away these rights. Some will still like Trump's hair, but they should have some right to genuine information to make their decision should...

    Yes, I would, but I wouldn't say equally. Trump took personal and dirt to new limits. Farage has been bullshitting for years. The point being, that the electorate hold the power, and they decide who represents them. They deserve the right to be reliably informed, whoever they vote for. Do you...

    Argument is the same. Point is that people in a democracy hold the power and decide who gets to use it. To work properly, the people giving the power to their representatives have to be reliabily informed to reach a correct decision- in their view. If they are not reliabily informed, they are...

    This is more than a yarn though. This is dirt, lying, threatening, advocating violence against hecklers, insulting and even offering imprisoning the opponent if he wins the election. I am 61 and have never seen such dirt in an election campaign. you say this should be allowed, but I don't see...

    Yes, but of the 51%, how many are stupid etc.? Some may have made reasoned choices. They may be wrong choices, but not based on believing unscrupulous politicians. You only need a small percentage of people voting out of stupidity to swing a vote e.g. some brexiters were of the opinion they...

    The voters are too lazy to check all the facts. Trump's and Farage's campaigns were aggressive sales campaigns based on populism. All one could do is regulate these campaigns similarly to product sales. Prosecute for misleading statements and enforce some sort of minimum standards of decency...

    You're assuming 50% is the figure. No one knows the real figure, but judging on Trump's successful tactics, there are obviously enough that meet your criteria to swing a vote.
