@Pokerchips ,

I agree with what you wrote, Spain is indeed pushing forward, I've driven side and lengthways through that vast country, solar is everywhere and wind turbines. But Spain it seems is an outlier. That is where I agree with Frank, the rest of European leaders are beyond corrupt and just want to break European people, all seems like at the behest of the US, who ever is in 'control', the US's agenda is the same, break their greatest competitor, that would be Europe.

American oil and gas (actually it will be coming from Venezuela) will be far more expensive that Russian oil and gas.

Putin may and is a nasty piece of work, but at least we got something in return for dealing with that devil, what will we get dealing with the other devil?

The US foreign policy has been the same for decades, control over the whole of the western hemisphere, guess where we are? That does not mean equal and fair partners, that means they CONTROL everything. Still not sure? Ask why Starmer just gave the NHS patient data to Oracle, why the UK police force data including payroll, address etc to Palentir. These are NOT UK companies, Oracle was founded with the help of the CIA, this is public knowledge.

That is called the enemy within...

Trump is the epitome of 'American Exceptionalism'.

He thinks because is says something, then it must be so. Trump is demanding the very thing that Iran will not acquiesce to, why should they?

Sanctioned for 47 years, surrounded by a mental country's military and then our media tells us that they are the 'bad guys'. Sure, Iran wants sovereignty over their own space, land and resources. Anyone with half a brain would see nothing wrong with that, but because they refuse to bend at the knee to imperial BS, they are sanctioned. They managed for that long, the US and the West are now panic stricken over fuel prices, stock shares tumbling and the cost of everything rising, let me get my hanky and wipe the tears away. I bet many would not like Russia to sit around the UK or demand BP hand over the North Sea oil and gas, and why would we? But we want Iran to do it? Get real. Also all those that swallowed the BS about Iran killing their own people, all pushed by Pompeo and Reuters, so no credible sources. Ok, so they don't want a puppet leader put in place, so what. Not our problem, so stop pretending like Trump, that we are 'saving' the Iranian people. Remember Trump is taking away womens rights in the US over their own bodies. So yeah, there's that.

Now that I have logged in I see more green posts, must be my little friend the Chihuahua that yaps a lot. Happy days.

Now regarding China and the orange blimp, I hope they also tell him to go fhs.

Well I had my 8 scrambled eggs with coffee this morning.

Made a chocolate/chocolate chunk loaf cake, chocolate chip cookies and shortbread biscuits with my daughter for her bake sale this afternoon.

I know what you're thinking, what relevance has this to do with RR, right?

Same as me telling what I sold or bought... NOTHING.

No, just the normal, perhaps it is you that is off your meds? You seem to post complete utter nonsense and think everyone else are the 'terrorists'. Bet you love the idea of Putin invading Ukraine too.

Start getting facts instead of info via Trumps BS or GBH news, you're making yourself look really really stupid.

Into the 11's again this morning...

I love the line: " They finally found the greatest SUCKER of them all, in the form of a weak and stupid American president".. Oh the irony, does he not realise HE is the sucker that Natanyahoo found??

Love it, what a orange donkey!!

Clued, agree, extortion indeed. They have now reduced the sum back down to $450. I also only have one tax return to file, that has nothing to do with what my citizenship status happens to be, merely my tax residency and where I live. So for that, I'm ok to do it. The blue passport was only a noose for me and the stigma of being a 'US person' was just not to my taste or benefit.

Har Monica, you have mental issues. keep conracticting your elf with every other sentence. I'm going to go with, you're stupid. There, I said it. Now run along. I do not have any interest in 'debating' you. As for 'libellous'? Bring it to court. Name ONE politician that is NOT corrupt!

Harmonica,

Behave yourself. Are you a bit dim, seriously?

I am NOT donating to a corrupt politician, stop trying to equivalate and make things seem on the 'up and up'. I live in the country I pay tax too, but as you tell everyone how smart you are you think I should pay tax to a country I do not live in? Should you should explain to me why so many left the UK to live in the UAE and other places to AVOID paying taxes. Again , I pay my taxes in the country of my tax residence, do you get it professor? Now, please stop trying to engage with me, not interested as you keep grabbing at a tiny end of a very long stick as you seem to have settled on a tenuous thread that I must only ever be a US citizen, perhaps you never heard of dual nationality or even triple nationality, which I will soon have again... Let that sink into your smooth brain.

Clued, no, let us remember how Garbage said leaving the EU would 'set us free' from Europe and teh NHS would be £50m per week better off... still waiting ten years later.

No better off and what ever happened to those livered up buses? Not to mention the £5m 'gift' he took a couple of years back from a UK criminal living in Thailand (I wonder what he does there???)

@Dixon,

Well if that makes you feel better about yourself then have at it. No skin of my nose. You are being defined by those that wish to define you, try to convince you that your are 'wealthy'. Remember, 'the UK classes you as wealthy'. Muppet.

That may well fit into your perspective, just not mine. Have a better day.

Of course, I forgot about the 3X thingy that Berny and BL bought.

No, Berny wrote 13.5 million. But I suspect that was a typo, otherwise that would make him worth @ £148m..

Looks like Trump is awake, must have shat the bed again, hence sp is down.

Someone telling everyone they are rich but have less that £10m need to re-evaluate what that actually means. Over £2m but under £5-6m, you're NOT rich, you are comfortable, as long as nothing unexpected happens. Don't get me wrong, being 'comfortable' in today's environment is a nice place to be, but you are certainly NOT rich (in terms of finance)

Sure, labels are merely there to create an illusion of inclusivity, but you really are not part of 'that' crowd. Still, it's good to dream big.

"I am more convinced that I am correct and you are not."

Of course you do.

You get the difference between ignorant and stupid? I think you fall in the latter. People do not renounce for tax purposes alone, do get a clue.

Most living outside of the US do not OWE any taxes, under double taxation rules, also filing is the only procedure, you really are clueless. you just read something of the internet and suddenly you are an expert. Please feel free to not engage with me, I will endeavour to do the same to you. You are not raising my intelligence, merely trying to dumb me down to your level. Not interested. have the day you deserve.

Harmonica,

seriously fella, are you really that obtuse?

Renouncing citizenship is NOT tax dodging. being a citizen of one country while maintaining a tax residence in another to reduce tax burden IS tax dodging.

You really have no clue do you? please get an education. I highly doubt you have 'been trained' to think critically otherwise that was a wasted education time that you could have been putting to better use.

The mere fact that you keep asking the most puerile questions, have no clue about the world in which you live and completely out of touch makes me think you must be a bot of some kind.

As for WMD, poison gas is NOT considered a WMD. I say this the nicest way I can, you're an idiot.

"Do you still pay taxes to the USA?"

Why would I?

Also, I do not need a test to have critical thinking, perhaps that is where you went wrong? Maybe I have lived long enough?

Also, the Iraqis went to war with Iran in 1980ish, all the weapons that Saddam had was given to him by the US, UK and the poison gases were given to him courtesy of Germany so he could wage war against Iran at our behest. A proxy of the West, if you will.

So, he was ok while he did dirty work for us, but when he refused to play along he was suddenly the bad guy?

There are many bad guys out there, the US has had their share, so has the UK, perhaps we should not get to decide who stays or who goes? You cannot see that as a problem?

Does that even make sense to you? Oh, wait, lack of critical thinking. But you passed a test!

Where do you think all these countries get their weapons from? I'll help you out, the US,UK,France, Germany, Austria. Look up the Iran Contra deal, that may shed light on a few things for you.

Seems like you refuse to see what our governments do, perhaps knowing what they do may keep you up at night, you may realise why people around the world hate our governments and by extension us. Never crossed your mind why someone would hate us for no reason? Do you hate your neighbour across the road and if you did would it be for no reason? Or would you have a justifiable cause?

Please think. Looking out of one window will only ever give you one view, but if you are blind, then you will never see anything anyway. Being critical of your governments foreign policy does not make you unpatriotic, but if that is the how you view it, then perhaps change your mind... or not.

nothing wrong with moving, then stay out of uk politics, simple. leaving to save paying taxes but still wanting a say on how things are run? nope.

sit at the table if you want a say. pay your share then do something to make it better for all, not just yourself. that's all really, not that hard is it? earned £billions through subsidies to get certain business' up and running, via the uk tax payer then having a ***** about it. i have no time from scroungers like that. as for my talents, you have no idea, friend, no idea.
