Let's be honest, Trump is a twunt, sadly a rich and extremely powerful one.
I am no fan of Trump, I don't our Queen to have to go through the laborious chore of having to entertain the toupee'd tangerine.
Let's get a few things straight, Theresa May is no appeaser, she has a duty to make sure we have good trade deals following the Brexit vote.
Secondly they didn't "hold hands" lovingly, he helped her down a few steps, to be honest it was nice seeing him help a woman for a change.
Thirdly, she should not resign, and asking her to is beyond boringly pathetic, and people like Owen Jones can do one.
However this Muslim ban on certain countries where Trump doesn't have any monetary gains, is also beyond boringly pathetic.
It won't solve anything, it will just create a further divide between the West, especially the US, and the Middle East.
Groups like ISIS, Hamas and Boko Haram will have something to prove about the West's hate for them, their ranks will grow again, their anger will increase, and so will the attacks.
Perhaps not in the US (as they're banned), but poor France will be victimised again, or here, or Germany, or any other European city.
What Trump has done is to put us all at risk with this ban.
So I will end off with say cheers Trump for increasing danger, and to anyone to thinks May is appeasing him...... you're as bad as him.

Trump Needs A Thump
I may be a Tory but I am no Trump supporter.
Firstly he's a misogynist, racist, homophobic blonde bimbo (apologies to all other blonde bimbo's who are not any of these things except for dim).
I am not normally a person who gets angry by men's ignorance towards women, but what he said about his own daughter was disgusting and says a lot about the man.
For those who says he is not racist, he is, there is absolutely no need to build a "wall" to divide Mexico and the USA.
Why not make more jobs in America by making border security more efficient? And why does he hate Mexican's so much? Does he not realise America have their own drug dealers, who have absolutely nothing to do with Mexico?
For those who says he is not homophobic, again, he very much is, what was one of the first things he actioned once sworn in? He rid the White House's website of the LGBT page.
He is also a climate change denier, another action he made on the day he was sworn in was also to rid the White House's website of the climate change page.
More worryingly he now turns about to be a fan of torture, especially waterboarding..... What century are we in again?
Why on earth would anyone want to bring back any forms of torture? And before you answer, just think about the many times you slated other countries for using techniques similar to this.
Saudi Arabia? Iran? Iraq? Many African countries.
So why should America and Trump be the exception to the rule? They shouldn't be.
The only blinder Trump has played so far is to take America out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which is something the left wanted, and anyone saying it was down to people power are only kidding themselves.
Trump isn't a man who particularly cares about other opinions, only his own.
So in my opinion if Trump thinks waterboarding is a good way of getting people to talk, why doesn't he offer himself up and prove to us how good it is with a demonstration?

The Nonexistent Opposition
Ed Miliband was quite pathetic as an opposition leader, however on the odd occasion he did manage to upset the Tories and the coalition government.
1. Air strikes on Syria, he managed to win the No votes, the government lost.
2. He took advantage of the Lib Dems failing to stand up for, or persuade the Tories to not up tuition fees
3. He managed to get Labour beating the Tories in the polls.
Whereas Jeremy Corbyn has never been ahead of the Tories in the polls, lost the vote to not have air strikes over Syria, and is unable to take advantage of when the government is going through a rough period, such as when he failed to slam the Tories on the NHS crisis.
The NHS was in a crisis situation, what did Jez and his media team (lead by his ever faithful friend Seumas Milne), decided to promote........ Labour's new policy on capping how much you can earn.
The only time he mentioned the NHS was when prompted by a journalist, and the only time he put any sort of "pressure" on the government was in a single statement calling for Theresa May to go back to parliament, naturally she ignored his statement and carried on as normal.
Not only did Jeremy fail to put pressure on the government when they were at their weakest, he had an awful time explaining his new policy.
In the morning it was made in stone (not Ed's), the afternoon it was just an idea.
But the badness doesn't stop there, Diane Abbott today went on The Marr Show on BBC 1, and when asked about how Labour will whip Article 50, her answer "I cannot tell you".
Few weeks ago Tom Watson, Labour's deputy leader, told another journalist that it was "unfair to ask" him on what Labour's stance was on Brexit.
Again the pain doesn't stop there, not so long ago "moderate" Labour MP Tristram Hunt quit as a Labour MP which has forced a by election, this has given UKIP's newly elected leader, Paul Nuttall, an opportunity to stand, and it looks more promising for him than the new Labour candidate.
As well as Corbyn's checkered history as Labour leader, for his Shadow Chancellor deciding to use Chairman Mao's "little red book" as a gag at the Tories which immensely back fired.
Or his closeness with the IRA and it's ex leader Gerry Adams.
Or his PLP meeting as leader, which resulted in one MP telling the papers it was a "fucking shambles", and Jess Philip's telling Diane Abbott to "Fuck off."
Jeremy is not a leader, and in staying in as the leader of the opposition he is denying the country of one majorly important thing; bring the government to account.

Why #Brexit is Good!
Brexit is a good thing, why? When we leave the EU our politicians will be wholly accountable, there will not be other countries denying us, and we will not be denying them.
We will be able to control our own borders, therefore be able to get our housing, NHS, and schooling systems sorted out.
How is it fair to keep open borders when the basic needs, housing, education and health, are struggling?
How is fair on those seeking for a better life and are promised a better life are moved into squalor? Put on waiting lists? Squeezed into a room to share between five or more people?
How is it fair on the people already on waiting lists to be kept waiting even further because successive governments have failed to accommodate the influx of immigration?
How is fair to allow an unelected, unnamed person to decide what can and can't happen?
How is it fair that some of these EU rules and regulations are good for some countries and not for others?
Where is the fairness in the EU? Where is the common sense to have unelected bureaucrats, who most people can't name off of hand, tell countries what they can and can't do?
Surely holding those we have elected to account is the proper and correct way to go about things?

The "New" Corbyn? Worse Than Ever Before!
Corbyn and his team obviously decided to take on board the slogan "New year, new me", and decided to "relaunch the Labour leader and the party.
Firstly by not being seen at all, when there has been ample opportunity to kick the Tories where it would really hurt, instead Mr Corbyn decided it was far more important that he have a holiday.
At the moment the NHS is being so badly run the NHS has been called in for help, now if you were a Labour leader, wouldn't you be running from news station to news station shouting about how appalling this is?
Not Corbyn, he issued a single statement. I bet Theresa May and Jeremy Hunt sh*t themselves when they heard he had!
Since then, Corbyn has come out of the shadows, and this morning has decided to go from news station to news station talking about...... his new policy of putting a cap on how much you can earn.
That's right, he isn't here to hold the government to account, as every other opposition leader has done in the past, but to promote a new Labour policy.
Good to see he has his finger on the pulse.
I am not sure what planet Corbyn and his team are on, but it's certainly not earth!

Rich and dumb
A Tory donor has claimed he won't be one any longer if Theresa May takes us out of the Single Market.
Now I have no qualms with rich people, in fact I would rather like to become one!
However, I do take a problem when they think they and their money is far more important than the will of the people. 17 million people to be more precise.
It's people like this Tory donor (I haven't bothered to learn his name) who give Tories, like me, a bad name. This donor is the stereotypical Tory, so stereotypical in fact that he would give fictional character Alan B'Stard a run for his money!
By all means be a donor to whatever party you see fit, but don't try and out do the will of the British people, firstly it makes you look like a pompous, self-centred, arsehole that he most likely probably is.
If you don't want to be part of a party because they're listening to the will of the people, then don't broadcast it, not only do you lose any sympathy people who voted to remain might have had, you become public enemy number one, and there are enough politicians to take that place without you joining them.

2017 - Year of Change?
2016 was a defining year.
Of course the celebrity deaths were huge! David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Victoria Wood, Terry Wogan, Prince, Harper Lee, George Michael, Caroline Aheren, as well as many others!
Many icons sadly died last year.
Also there was huge political moments that world was witness too.
Let's start in Britain.
Well the Conservatives had a huge year, firstly David Cameron kept his election promise of a referendum on whether Britain should stay within the European Union or not.
Not won, and we voted to leave (yay), which prompted David Cameron to resign as Prime Minister and Tory leader, which paved way for the Tories second woman leader in Theresa May, who is not only the Tories second woman leader, but Britain second woman Prime Minister.
Labour had a pretty big year as well, firstly Labour won the London Mayoral election, Sadiq Khan beating Zac Goldsmith (despite being a Tory I was glad of this defeat for the Tories).
This is possibly the only good news Labour had all year.
The referendum on the EU was rather turbulent for Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. Firstly, he reluctantly backed to remain, and told his Labour MP's to not share a platform with the remain Tory politicians, I think some Labour politicians didn't get the message because Harriet Harman, Sadiq Khan, Tessa Jowell and ex Labour leader Neil Kinnock all shared a platform with the Tories......
Due Jeremy's lack of passion for the remain campaign, and the fact that remain lost, the "moderate" Labour MP's decided to start a coup against his leadership.
It started off with Hilary Benn, who was sacked for admitting to Jeremy what he was planning, which then saw a mass resignation.
Cornyn's leadership looked pathetic, the "moderates" then decided to wager a leadership bid against Corbyn, starting with Angela Eagle, who's big was rather doomed from the start, and then unknown MP Owen Smith.
Of course Jeremy Corbyn won, on my birthday no-less, with a higher majority than before. Was a wonderful present to give to me from the Labour party! Thank you.
Then of course there's USA's politics, Hilary Clinton vs Donald Trump.
A bit like being forced to choose between chlamydia or genital herpes, out of a population of 318 million these two were the finalists.
Sadly chlamydia won in the form of Donal Trump.
Donald Trump the worlds most homophobic, racist, misogynistic arse wank.
Then again a day before the voting Clinton thought it was vitally important to do the "mannequin" challenge with her celebrity friend Jon Bon Jovi.
The rest of the world had a pretty turbulent time, France and Belgium being hit from ISIS terrorist attacks, Syria is in a devastating state, Assad and his Russian and Iranian friends blasting bombs, as well as ISIS trying to fight back, with the people stuck in the middle.
The far right seems to be on the increase, especially in Europe.
So that's a quick over brief of 2016, what can 2017 offer.
Well what will happen is Donald Trump will go from President elect, to the President of the USA as Barack has to hand over the most powerful office in the world to a clown in a suit.
Theresa May will try to trigger article 50 to start the processing of Britain leaving the EU, which will more than likely be blocked by our democratically elected MP's.
This block may then make Theresa May trigger a snap election, which would be disastrous for Jeremy Corbyn has Labour are polling at all time lows at the moment, and therefore would most likely lose seats than gain any.
In fact Theresa May couldn't have a better opposition leader, Corbyn hasn't been seen doing or saying much lately, even one of closest allies, Len McCluskey the Unite Union leader, has said that if Corbyn keeps Labour this low in the polls he will have to go..... such a shame.
Also let's hope we see minimal terrorism attacks around the world, and Syrian people get to finally live in peace and rebuild their lives.
Let's also hope ISIS/IS/Daesh are defeated for good.
