Just been reading about the Donald being ridiculed for stating he was going to get the price of medicine down by up to several thousand percent, with people claiming that this isn't possible.

But, it is...

If you took 10 things to the till during a massive 40% sale, then sure, the price is 40% less than normal.

But, if you took 10 visits to the till to pay for each item separately with a 40% discount for each one, then you've actually saved 10 x 40 =400%

😬😬😬

That is America, of course.
In Broken Britain, we still receive necessary medication for free.
In Reform Britain, we would still receive necessary medication for free, but it would be cheaper!

Why?  Because literally thousands of people who should not be here would no longer be here.  Off they go either voluntarily to their country of origin, or compulsorily to El Salvador.

Sorry for slightly diverting the thread, Dex!

Good old Donald

No problems JB.
Mystery to me why paying criminal gangs to carry out their criminal acts isn't a criminal act itself, which would remove any chance of anyone using "irregular" means even being given safe haven under existing UK laws🤷🏻�♂️

Try explaining that to Diane Abbot...

Not possible.  Using a pen on a whiteboard would suggest that colour is inferior to the background white supremacy, and writing on a blackboard would mean attacking/defacing the perfectness of black.

Thus I'd be racist either way.

Well explained.  I don't have any concerns about Diane Abbott.  After all, I'm sure that most people see her as nothing other than a bit of a joke, along with Compo, of course.

Interestingly, I have honestly never seen a picture of Abbott without her having her mouth wide open. 
Perhaps the unfortunate lady has a permanently blocked nose.

The problem is that there are a lot of people that don't see them as jokes. That's why the still get elected. Fortunately they currently have no power but it wouldn't surprise me to see a Corbyinist wing of the Labour party replace the current clowns but hopefully remain unelectable.

[Dextrous63]

By coincidence, Corbyn has started up a new party, I kid you not.

As for Abbott, amongst others, she is indeed the epitome of the emperor with no clothes.

[Scrumpy]

I read that Corbyn is rearing his ugly head again.. 
  With all this nonsense going on I don't Conservatives will be in power again for many, many years.. If at all..

Neither will Labour.  Compo and Abbott's new party will split the Labour vote:  all the Lefties won't know which one to go for.

[Dextrous63]

Don't think it's taken long for the electorate to realise they've voted in a dud.  Can't really see either of the usual culprit parties making a comeback within 4 years, as they've both made a right hash of it all....

🎶 An absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "coo-coo."
(Coo-coo, coo-coo.)
Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye to you . . .
So long, farewell,
Auf Wiedersehen, good night.

Trouble is we may not have another election for four years....

Out with Starmer and in with Ange? Is that going to be any better? She's hardly any brighter than Dianne. All she'd got when she left school was a baby.

[Dextrous63]

God help us if Ange gets in.

I'm sure you're right.  Excellent comment!
