  1.  @MarjorieSherrington  I think with the current state of the World we need to work closely with our neighbours and other Democracies.

  2.  @MarjorieSherrington  Yes that is where we diverge .I do not think the E U member states have a positive view of the U K and indeed think that there is an element of treachery . In these circumstances it is very difficult to obtain cooperation hence the behaviour of the French toward the migrants and people smugglers. I believe the anti E U campaign was years in the making and the British people were subjected to years of propaganda which was never properly addressed .

  3.  @MarjorieSherrington  I do not disagree with you as the E U did not give any help to Cameron before the Referendum and played hard ball during the negotiations. However was it really necessary to decide at an early stage to aim for a hard Brexit when there were reasonable alternatives?

  4.  @normanlazarus1836  The E U is bureaucratic and perhaps overly complex but each State has a democratic government and I believe has a right of veto .

  5.  @normanlazarus1836  I see what you mean but the problem is the various states have to protect their own interests and it is really difficult for unanimity to be achieved. Politicians have to please their own electorate and be seen to be fighting their corner.

  6.  @normanlazarus1836  I agree it does appear change is difficult to achieve and is not going to get any easier .

  7. ​ @brettervonkanada6102  What about the former friends of Vladimir Putin namely the Oligarchs? Would they be able to remove him from power ?

  8. In Jest you make a good point .May be Putin is rather frightened of being murdered given his own record of political assassination.

  9.  @RonBerg1  If Gorbachev thought that he had plenty of evidence .Putin is a cruel man and his corruption is pretty legendary but until now he has managed to disguise his stupidity .

  10. Trump is also boxed in a corner because he has already admitted that Russia is easier to deal with than Ukraine.If Putin defies him then that is a whole new ball game .

  11. I think H ought to be scared but perhaps he is taking something which helps him to cope with family friction.

  12. ​ @jasgo6014 I do not think so.

  13. Yes you are right but Putin was also misled by his corrupt and incompetent Generals .

  14. The U S S R did have a brief opportunity to be different but the reforming President Mikhail Gorbachev was overthrown and the Soviet Union fell apart.

  15. Trump is not a business men he is just a bully who takes advantage of those who do not have the money required to fight back .

  18.  @andrewburman9469  Plenty of Russians in Cyprus and the South of France .Possible the Russians are also in Spain but I am not 100 % certain and of course Monaco always welcomes people with money.

  19. ​ @DYP1 Trump has unleashed forces he does not understand and he will soon be humiliated.

  20. China has its own ambitions and may well invade Russia.

  21. Sean Lindsay I do not think an election is likely as Putin will be executed for his many mistakes before Russia is ready for a change of government.

  22. Winterbird probably not.

  23. Sunak has decided that he can distract attention from the Tory mess with a half baked policy about National Service . He has not convinced anyone particularly a former Defence Minister and former professional soldiers.

  25.  @holycannoli64  Biden knows right from wrong but Trump has no moral code whatsoever.

  26. Steve I think Putin is not yet finished but Russia is on its knees .Now is not the time to give this murderer any concessions.

  27. I think not because clearly the family has been exploited by a criminal conspiracy.

  28. Jancaulfield someone who had a moral code , experience in administration and decision making and was actually capable of doing a serious job . Johnson was a journalist and a womaniser whose self indulgence was notorious .He did not have the C V required to deal with a real crisis and he should never have been a Politician.

  30. ​ @royboy565 I am not convinced by Corbyn .

  31.  @royboy565  Boris is not an MP at all .

  32.  @jancaulfield3549  He was a hopeless foreign Secretary and Mayor and his writing is nothing to write home about .Johnson spent all his time womanising as his American girl friend will no doubt confirm. I think you will find that he had to resign from one of his jobs for lying .

  33.  @mikewallace1723  Boris is a Narcissus and he has no interest in working hard for the good of the Country.

  34.  @buzzardclementine4451  It was a desire to protect you that led to the decision to keep your adoption a secret .Your identity consists of your life time experience within a loving family and your education but I do appreciate it was a terrible shock to you when the truth was finally told . I hope you have found it possible to forgive your parents for their misjudgement and that you can move on from the negative feelings you experienced at age 22.

  37. I think Putin's missile are trained on specific targets .

  38.  @mpm7501  Why not Russia ?

  39. Jack line I do not think H has the faintest idea what he is doing because he is very dim.

  40. The Jewish lobby in the U S A is large and prosperous. Money is a powerful incentive for Trump .

  41. ​ @shawnnewell4541 Imagine tasteless hotels and casino's built on the blood of Palestinians. Only Trump could envisage such a development in Gaza .I think Trump might also have designs on the gas and oil which has been found off shore . Human life has no value for this particular felon.

  42.  @geoffreycodnett6570  Trump ought to be in prison .

  43. ​ @OscarDirlwood  Obama to my recollection was not pro Israel and what about Bill Clinton ?

  44.  @dodgechargerrt1873  Greatest President I think you ought to be a comedian. Trump can't measure up and needs to resign.

  45. Putin should have tackled corruption before he launched an invasion of Ukraine. The Army, Airforce and Navy have been hollowed out by Putin allies for years and can't be improved over night . He is finally reaping what e sowed.

  46. Putin is a complete hypocrite and it is time he's forced to withdraw his army from Ukraine.

  47. ​ @Jagonath Exactly .Putin decided to launch a Special Military Operation to disguise his failure as a Head of State .

  48. Gerald please do not take a simplistic view .By now everyone should know that you can't trust Trump to do the sensible or logical thing as he is perfectly capable of changing his mind for no obvious reason. Putin will also have promised him access to minerals so an attack on Ukraine will not inconvenience the U S A which is all Trump really cares about.

  49. ​ @lizlyon2902 King Charles opened at least one property to the public so they could enjoy a bit of warmth.

  50. I think Macron has been sensible consulting with other European leaders face to face .Trump needs to be facing a united front and in any event it does help to know who is unwilling to stand up to the orange blob.
