"He can call it what he likes but everyone else will continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico, a name, as someone else has pointed out, it has had since before Mexico officially existed as a country. After all there is a stretch of water that we call the English Channel but the French and other countries call it by other names." Google Maps have said they will only do the name change for US users, if and when it passes the legislation process. For the rest of the world 'locally accepted names' will be used. Not exactly a ringing endorsement | |||

"He has put all government employees that work in diversity on holiday leave until they can be found another job. " He has also ordered that US Government Employees return to working in the Taxpayer Funded Offices or go find another job, most reasonable.... The one I like is sending the 87,000 new IRS Employees, currently licensed and provided with guns, to go and help protect the border, I like it! 86,999 will quit! LOL But yes, he is doing some dumb stuff with foreign policy... | |||

"I think we could do with a similar leader who puts Britain first rather than the rest of the world I can’t understand what’s so wrong in that ! " It's the baggage that comes with nativism that worries the rest of us. Farage, for example, copying his idol Trump, also wants to abolish LGBT legal protections. | |||

"Didn't we rename the 'German Sea' to become the 'North Sea'?" It's had dozens of names but most of the rest of Europe went to the North Sea after the 1st world war. Hitler very much in a precursor of Trump announced that it would be called the German Sea again but after the RAF bombed the Baltic ports flat that idea kind of got forgotten | |||

Cosying up to dictators. Sinking the Belgrano.etc Taken - but she wasn't a threat to democracy. Was she? I can't truly say I wasn't politically aware at the time. But I don't hear or feel that she was a threat to democracy as much of a monster as she was to Wales and believe me that's still real. She was not in the business of insurrection, according to a recent book on the last queen, she tried to affect a royal demenour but that isn’t the same as Trump, the poll tax could be seen as an assault on democracy, tying voting to paying tax… This is why left almost always loose, let me take a wild guess on your opinion on the Starmer, he's a red Tory " Why do the left always loose?

"To make Britain great again we should rename it...... . Hold on, I have an idea . . . what about calling it Great Britain 🤔🤔🤔🤔 How about 'Uncaring Britain?' Lots of good examples of that. Then the brits wouldn't be deluding themselves. Nothing uncaring about it after all Labour isgoing to build lots of houses so they can empty the hotels of illegal migrants. I'm sure the homeless of Britain will not complain and if they do we can table them right wing thugs. ... ... Homelessness under the last lot. Short memories....
