Yip, I'm one of the deplorables.
Is that the same as a redneck?
Everyone laughed when Trump put himself up for President. Then they laughed when he became President.
I don't see anyone laughing now.
Of course they are...well those that are left after you kicked out the Brits and then annihilated the Natives.
Don't forget Umboto Gorge either.Fair do's though - in those days we were all at it - we did the same to the locals all over our empire. Our ships used to dock in beautiful far away places and embrace the natives, then enslave them. We taught them English by shouting at them and imposed our laws. If we had any trouble we just sent a gunboat and hung a few and then peace (relative, peace anyway) reigned again.
- And the sun never went out on Queen Victoria's empire.
Around 1956 a Tory health minister called Enoch Powell invited West Indian nurses to come and work in Britain.

On another front, the car ramming in Charlottesville. I've just watched a video of it. One can see a car being surrounded by a mob carrying pick helves. The car backs hard into one group, then accelerates into another group, then speeds away. I've also just read that the driver of the car was an ex-armoured truck driver; that fits as his behavior shows clear defensive driving. So, what happens when a car is surrounded by an angry armed mob intent on destruction and stops moving? Usually, the car gets tipped then set alight... I certainly wouldn't hang around in that situation and if someone tried to stop me, well you'd be daft arguing with a moving two ton of Sindelfingen.
What, you didn't see the video where he drove at speed down the street to the "mob" before banging into them a couple of times?Would you not have surrounded a car which had just bumped into a few of your friends? You surprise me Craig.
