The polarisation of the populace with people being branded left or right is worrying. It's what happened in Europe back in the 1920s and 30s.

There are thick stupid people everywhere in this Country. And most of them appear to be British.
Seems impossible to get through to people that one day you will be the enemy that the hard right seeks to demonise and then eliminate. History has proven that is ALWAYS the case.

Everyone funded the Nazi Party initially. And you're going to find extremists of one kind or another in just about every nation.

Yes as a bulwark against the Russians, which is somewhat ironic given current events.

Ah now that's where it's a bit different this time around. This time the right have very successfully pinned that on the left.

That's because the right are too busy blaming everything on immigrants, muslims and Europe.
They ain't got time to pick on the Jews as well.

It's being reported on Twitter that crowds are gathering outside the White House, calling Trump a traitor.

It took 3 years to get Watergate into Court.
Read the link I posted in the Russia. People are being prosecuted.

HAHA Jealously, did you watch it all? It's an embarrassment that these people are allowed breath the same air, never mind get in to Congress!
