‘Donald Trump vows to impose travel ban ‘in any event’ despite pending Supreme Court judgement’…

I hope he tries, it might be grounds for impeachment.

I think it’s just bluster from him to be honest mate - his followers and supporters seem to lap up his continuing empty promises and temperamental rants up on twitter - it probably seems to them that he’s getting stuff done.

If it is possible grounds for impeachment though, then 😃

What is your preferred browser? For Mobile; for Desktop? Why?

SRW Iron - a chromium based browser (basically the same functions as Chrome - but without so much of the data/info collecting & snooping done by Google).

Have used it for a few years - impressed with what it does (and doesn’t), very reliable - as well as benefiting from near on ever add-on from the chrome web store working on it too 😃

https://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php - also has a useful multi-language forum for users to ask any questions and report any faults/errors or just give feedback etc.

It’s also available for Mac, Linux, and Android, as well as Windows.

Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his “no reason to be alarmed” statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!

crazy isn’t it? - Trump gets caught out by his own lack of empathy and then tweets using the London Bridge attacks to further his muslim ban, (before offering sympathy for the victims) - and tries to deflect attention away of it to Khan and the media…

…when in fact Khan hasn’t said anything other than his original statement.

A spokesman for Khan did say in reply to Trump’s first tweet re Khan - 'He (Khan) has more important things to do than respond to Donald Drumpf’s ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks urging Londoners not to be alarmed when they saw more police — including armed officers — on the streets,”

and nothing since…

Nice

cheers mate 😃

Hopefully going to see them soon in concert in Manchester, where they are performing with The Selecter 😃 - http://www.thebeatofficial.com/tour/

Being from the other side of the pond, they’re known to me as the English Beat, due to some silly trademark scuffle.

Love Wha’ppen and Special Beat Service. I Just Can’t Stop It ain’t too shabby either.

Ha 😃 Forgot about the English Beat thing!

Ranking Roger is quality - and back with them touring too 😃

Hold on to your rights, UK.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/theresa-may-internet-regulated-london-bridge-terror-attack-google-facebook-whatsapp-borough-security-a7771896.html

New international agreements should be introduced to regulate the internet in the light of the London Bridge terror attack, Theresa May has said.

The Prime Minister said introducing new rules for cyberspace would “deprive the extremists of their safe spaces online” and that technology firms were not currently doing enough.

The Prime Minister made the comments outside Downing Street on Sunday morning in the aftermath of the van and knife attack that saw seven people killed and dozens injured.

“We cannot allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed – yet that is precisely what the internet, and the big companies that provide internet-based services provide,” Ms May said.

Come the early hours of Friday morning what she says, hopefully, won’t matter anymore mate…

(That’s not to say the tech companies can’t do more - indeed they can - but I didn’t any calls on banning books or libraries (though she is doing here best to close down as many as she can. Nor do I see her calling for a ban on selling arms to countries which fund terrorism - though she is suppressing reports that links that very thing)

‘Terrified? That’s a bit strong. We’re going to go shopping’ - How defiant Londoners refused to bow to terrorists…

(Full pubs, pints of beer in the sunshine, and couples kissing in the street: if the terrorists were trying to spread fear through the capital, they failed)

I wonder what it is about Sadiq Khan that makes Trump want to take his words out of context?

I must say the responses to #thingsthatleavebritainreeling keep the spirits up…

https://twitter.com/hashtag/ThingsThatLeaveBritainReeling?src=hash

Such as…

“A “pie” turning out to be a casserole in a ramekin with a pastry lid.”

“Someone standing ambiguously near the back of a queue, but not quite in it.”

“Knowing you’re walking in the wrong direction & having to tut & check your watch/phone before changing course.”

“People pronouncing it scone, when it is actually pronounced scone.”

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/871328428963901440 (‘At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is “no reason to be alarmed!”’)

Actually, the Mayor of London said this…

‘…terrorists are constantly evolving & finding new ways to disrupt, harm us, attack us… the police and experts and all of us, are finding new ways to keep us safe. Londoners will see an increased police presence today and in the course of the next few next days - there is no reason to be alarmed - one of the things the police and all us need to do is make sure we’re safe as we can possibly be.’

the Mayor then goes onto how the terrorists want to disrupt our way of life and interview continues on…

the full 7 minute video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3tqHawmau0 (Mayor’s comments to the interviewer’s questions starts around 2m 37s)

 

Context is a thing that Trump really doesn’t seem to understand - and not the first time with the Mayor either.

I’m sure he’ll tweet something stupid/offensive any day now . . .

Correct. He posted a tweet trying to make the London attack be about him…

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/871143765473406976

…then seven minutes passed, where presumably his staff were shouting things like “what the f**k Mr President!?!” at him and threatening to take his phone away before he tweeted a proper “Oh yeah and I’m sorry and stuff too” style response…

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/871145660036378624

Yes mate, shows him up for what he really is, how he thinks (or not), his lack of compassion, empathy and thoughts for those killed and injured, what he really cares for, and how low he’ll sink to get his way - in placing blame/onus on the courts for ‘give us back our rights’?

And also his limited thinking in that this ‘travel ban’ would actually stop something like that happening anywhere.

 

‘Donald Trump’s first response to the news of the London attacks was to retweet a conservative news website better known for sensationalism and partisanship than for accurate reporting.’…
