Get downloading - you know it makes sense!

A campaign to make Green Day’s American Idiot number one in the UK charts ahead of Donald Trump’s visit has the backing of thousands of supporters. Organisers urged people to download and stream the hit song from to ensure it’s a radio favourite when Trump visits the UK for the first time since taking office.

“Given that the entire army budget in the fiscal year 2015 was £120bn, unspecified adjustments were 54 times the level of spending by Congress”

That’s a tad under $6.5 trillion.

How fucking crazy have things become?

If you get easily offended when foreigners take the piss out the UK, probably best not to watch.

The article he mentions.

Shame about the RT logo bottom left. But interesting/ worrying/ unsurprising…

God forbid we rely on a Russian news provider for the truth.

From around 12 mins on that clip is spot on.

Ah that tried and tested news provider RT, how did they report on the invasion of Crimea?

TBF they’re about at the same level as the BBC for political bias and selective reporting of news to fit their own agenda.

Often the opposite of the BBC but I’m not going to say I believe either are 100% truthful 100% of the time.

RT gives a different perspective to things though.

North Korea cancels talks with South Korea and warns US.

So, is the hand of Tango Man involved here to look good in arranging historic talks only to disrail them by allowing provocative military exercises to take place?

You can guess where my money is.

Trump seems to have no desire for peace in Korea, Syria, Lebanon or anywhere…:

Here is to hoping.

im in Singapore the same time as this summit. It will be a fucking nightmare security wise

I can put you in touch with a really great mate of mine who lives / works in Singapore- He’ll keep you drunkenly safe.

:lou_lol:

(PM me)

As tempting as that is, I have a full itinerary of corporate drinking which gives me fuck all time to myself.

Anyhow, how much will you lot chip into the charity pot if I get a selfie with wrong un and post the world exclusive picture on here!

2/- and 6d

LITSL will translate

If it’s IT related then he’ll probably be at all of the drinking events.

I still haven’t worked out what he actually does apart from corporate schmoozing.

Nice work if you can get it…
