Read it again carefully. The answer is literally right in front of you 😏

@Daisy_560 A bunch of bastards is what I would call this!

Be honest.! Umm, what would you call this?

@Mofoman360 9.99

On a scale of 1-10 how good was Margaret Thatcher as PM

@Gianl1974 When will the scales fall from your eyes America? You elected a witless, charmless, narcissistic bully in @realDonaldTrump and the sooner you get rid of him, the better!

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

@sanakazmi36 Is this a joke? It’s 53, so none of those 🤷

Interesting that most of the speakers demanding answers in the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor debate are women. Well said, @tessamunt @RachaelMaskell @monicaharding @sianberry @HelenMorganMP. Can’t help thinking that if we only had male MPs this would simply remain covered up!!!

@BAFTA and @BBC the lack of an immediate & unreserved apology, not just to ‘anyone who was offended’ but to the poor guys on stage at the time is a disgrace. not least because by not doing so, you lay the blame on Tourette’s rather than accepting any yourselves! #shame #shame

@Damaan4u33 I would say, win win win, as long as they stay away from the U.K. Russia will take them though

@kendalljayyzhxu It’s 30 and that fact surely cannot only be worked out by 0.1% of the world, so the 0.1% must be of X users. That I can believe!

How many squares....!!! 99.9% will fail..?

I'm American, and I'm sick of hearing that America is the stupidest country in the world... Personally, I think Europe is the stupidest country in the world.

@skytv just cancelled my TV subscription after 26 years because it is overpriced compared to @netflix , @AppleTV and @primevideouk . Took over an hour to do on chat #unacceptable, then they sent a survey. Tried to answer 0 three times but it wouldn’t accept my answer #disgraceful
