Some people use all manner of media to make noise. Even twitter.

But the whole poli… spectrum has it own idiots! We seem to give loudmouths an open mic to lambast anything they either think will make them heroes or promote their twisted little lives.

Personally, I wouldn't give any consideration to premature blandishments from senior people in his position unless there was a pen in his hand hovering over the contract. But I would treat him with normal courtesy and respect befitting his position. We seem to be losing the ability to be nice to people but, thankfully, his meeting with the Queen will demonstrate there is still some civility in this land. Anything else is commercial suicide - that's how he operates so successfully.

We don't have to like him to do business with him. Those that think otherwise don't run businesses.

From what I understand it's not up to him, he can express an opinion on such matters but it's up to the two house to agree on trade deals. With a 2/3 majority I think.

Maybe the name of it gives the game away. I wouldn't know, never having visited it.

Oh it's a mixed bag of people on there. Some tremendous and some not so.

Point taken. Although a lot of the reportage from it that reaches other outlets is invariably offensive, rude in the extreme, or dripping with sarcasm. Sometimes freedom of speech needs careful forethought.

From what I've seen, admittedly minimal, is an initial attack from a self- important demagogue posing as a man-of-the-people which draws a reply in a similar vein from its intended target, and leading to uncontrollable conflict. Thankfully, not on here. Maybe they need controls similar to ours.

I see that the review of the troops at the palace was conducted at a pace which seemed to leave Charles chasing the field somewhat lol. His face displayed a bit of humour though which I suppose you could expect of someone who was raised on the likes of Sellers, Milligan and Seacombe et al.

Derek (Windrush) I think would have been fairly pleased at the choice of music which the band played as it included Soldiers Of The Queen - a constituent part of his old regimental march following its amalgamation with another. As for The Halls Of Montezuma, well I had a vision of Charles waving from them to the presenting officer and Donald Trump as they stood in Tripoli.

Both pass comment on things not in their power to give, some can't help themselves in doing so.
