The fat knacker will probably croak it before the next election.
Watched it. Very interesting. I can't argue with any of it, especially the bit at the end saying that the UK hasn't got long left before it dissolves.“Has the threat of Trump really gone”

That could be a quiz question: which boro centre forward is related to Donald Trump?There were a number of Trump’s that lived in Boro in the sixties.
My Grandmother was a Trump and lived in Monkland Street.
She was a cousin of Brian Clough’s Mam.
My Uncle, Mam and Aunt were all born into the Trump name.
My Aunt married and emigrated to America.
Sadly, they have all passed away now, but I have a number of cousins still alive and kicking!

I've just watched that Timothy Schneider interview after I made my last post of the 'twitter ban' and it seems pretty clear to me that we are on the same page. It was actually a bit scary how much our thoughts matched, even at the danger of it simply being an echo chamber.
I'll definitely be seeking to read more of his stuff Ziggy.Snyder is a Yale professor of the history Central and Eastern politics and the Holocaust. The author of 5 award winning books. Speaks five European languages, and can read in 10 of them.
Don’t think you’re in any danger of entering the echo chamber, Dood. He recognised early on the impact of “machines” on our behaviour, before social media. Which he sees as, you read as the the great danger in subversion of behaviour and understanding.
It’s brilliant the way he joins the dots and enables that, yes that’s it, moment.
Probably worth reading his book: The Road to Unfreedom

I read somewhere that if he is impeached he loses a lot of the benefits granted to him in the former presidents act... including the secret service security.I'd not even like to guess, I'll go with toilet.
The interesting thing is as a former president he will have state funded security for the rest of his life.
