I wonder if Farage will go and work for him. Dumb and Dumber

One's a billionaire and soon to be president of the free world. The other almost single handedly orchestrated the UK's 'shock' exit from the EU.

I don't know your achievements but I suspect they both outsmart you. They've both done 'the impossible' after all.

Well impossible to those who only listen to their own wee bubble that is.

You've achieved some cracking bike builds and that's all that really matters on this site

Re:

I don't think either of them are smarter than me.

Whether I have 'achieved' anything or not, in the grand scheme of things, makes no odds.

I hope the tone of the discussion lifts a little, we could do with a laugh with all the crap going on.

It really is mind bending stuff, all this.

Don't know if most of us are really getting the significance; which could be that our 'normal' societies are pretty damn fragile.

Remember the 'Arab Spring'?

Does anyone actually think something overwhelmingly great has come of that 'quest' for democracy?

Not every nation is ready for democracy. Not every democracy is ready for change.

But change is upon us, and we don't get to choose its face.

Coldwar things were clear. Berlin

90s good period, now clueless to
what's happening but it looks
ugly to me.

Today we visited friends who were on a rare visit to their home in the Cairngorms. They are normally resident in France. There was a lot of discussion on Brexit, most of which had me a little embarrassed.

The whole Trump phenomenon had us all nonplussed. We could make sense of Brexit, and argue the issues to some degree, and found we had both discovered some new ways of looking at it. None of us felt Trump is going to teach us anything worth finding out.

I hope that changes, because we ought to at least be able to learn something from what just happened.

Good for you. Brexit is not about
some pissy local issue, it's about
the UK and every UK citizen in every corner of the world for
whatever period they may not
reside there, and the effects on
close geographic and politcal
neighbours.

God help if the powers at be
choose now to suck Donald's Trump
to elbow a place in the world.
