Have we got nothing better to think about than Greenland??

I cannot believe this is dominating the national discussion.

The NHS is fucked
Thousands of undocumented people are entering our country (directly causing an increase in racist sentiment)
The UK is seen as being on a downward spiral in general

Let Denmark work it out.

Surely we have better things to be focusing on!

Donald Trump is fucking up everything. He's old- why can't he just go and play golf or something. And why isn't the American people reacting??

Sadly I think it's a wider issue than just him - it all the white house bunch and if Trump goes is Vance really any better - he said awful things about Europe and seems similarly uniformed about Greenland.

But Vance doesn’t have the charisma or the TV career that Trump did, that lead people to think ‘He told someone they were fired on TV, that’s the kind of decisive leadership we need’. He won’t have the Trump ability to freeze his own party into cowardly immobility.

I don’t really mean to sneer about that impulse, after all his TV career is a big part of why Ukraine elected Zelensky, they’re just a lot luckier with the character and intelligence that went along with it. We like faces we know. But not Vance, not in the same way.

I do think he will pick Erica Kirk as his VP which is a risk of its own.

I think they should just send Donald the Nobel peace prize by recorded delivery.

I'd send him the Knob prize. It's close enough, right?

OP fucked off then? There's a shock.

The NHS is not fit for purpose.

It took me 18 months to get a diagnosis for something relatively straightforward.

So this rant is all about you then?

It's going to affect you and me, but ok.
