This is a thread for chit chat, banter, memes and emojis about current politics.

It is NOT intended as a fight club.

It is NOT intended as a place to rehash old arguments about the merits (or otherwise) of Brexit - please pop over to the Brexit forum for that.

Politics threads sometimes attract posters who make personal attacks or who hold their views so very strongly that they find it hard to be respectful of other opinions. Please do not engage with such posters; MN has a handy report button for any posts that fall outside their posting guidelines.

Now, pull up a bar stool, and I'm sure one of our lovely staff will be over with a menu shortly.

MNHQ Arse and Silvery are both questioning your reasoning and they are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Shock I agree with both of them Shock

Reposting from other thread but may have resonance to this situation. Curating the narrative and shutting down debate is problematic.

"Complete change of subject but pertinent to the relevance of the bloated BBC.
They sent Katty and Christian and Emily to Iowa and we all ended up none the wiser. Couple of tongue in cheek tweets from AF Neil this am gave a much clearer flavour of the debacle. Anthony Zucker, who is based in the US has a detailed piece on the website which gives the full picture but will never be reported on any of the News programmes on TV.

I happen to have contacts who were at the Caucus. They want to know why they just can't go and spend 5 minutes casting their ballot like normal folks. grin Their inside verdict was Mayor Pete and Biden tied with Bernie and Warren a couple of notches back. Will be interesting to see if this ties up with the Democrats' thrice verified tally - certainly wasn't what the pollsters had.

Zucker was able to verify that The Donald polled over 90% in the Republican caucus. grin The BBC news anchors on TV last night forgot to mention that the Republicans were even bothering.

The Donald is kinda enjoying himself today, but difficult to blame him when across the aisle is such a demonstrable shambles - makes their claims about his incompetent White House ring a wee bit hollow.

I am no fan of The Donald but it says something when the Other Side are making him look good."

So has it been verified by MNHQ that Brexit doesn't count as current Politics ommward?
