Even Musk might baulk at the maintenance costs of Free Gear and his grubby band.

An interesting take of Trump's election by Ben Habib:

If we play our cards right, Trump may benefit our country.  Just one minor problem: Free-Gear Kier.

At least the Americans will know how to influence British politics. A few boxes of frilly knickers and maybe something for his wife too.

[klondike]

It's possible his wife would appreciate a jock strap. The poor fellow seems terribly confused on that sort of issue.

[muddy]

What a plonker he is .
Let's hope he can get a grip somehow.

[klondike]

There are plenty would like to get a firm grip on him. Main differences between them being just where to apply that grip.

Ah, my apologies.  I have paid a one-off for membership.  I think it was £25, but worth it to me.
I'm sure this will also appear elsewhere eventually.

I read it.. Trump does NOT like the EU... But , will probably help the UK..
  I think that's what it said..  Unless I was reading another story..

Thank you.  Yes, basically:

"In short, Trump is going to do that which the European Union and Starmer loathe, put first the interests of the United States of America.
It is a quaint but no longer practised tradition in Europe for elected representatives to represent their people.
Brussels is anti the existence of all its member states and Starmer is anti-British. I hope Trump follows through on all his initiatives."

In addition, I believe that his friendship with Nigel Farage will also result in him helping us to restore our country to how it once was.  I hope!

if he comes round here, I for one would want to shake him warmly by the throat.

Why  ?

Follow the chain of quotes and posts back. "Him" is Starmer. Does that explain your why?

That was my view too, viz the identity of "him".
