Hello America.

You're always pleasant.

I think it just means you're a genius of some sort.

But I'm often told I'm wrong

Fully agree, but what to do when the media in this country strangles any attempt to discuss problems rationally?

And by that I don't mean 'why bother' but literally 'how do you tackle the problem'? Just in case it wasn't clear

Not much heartwarming around at the moment, but well done to hundreds of Newquay folk who accompanied this poorly 18 year old whippet on his final walk on Porth Beach.

I sometimes feel that people show more tenderness towards animals than their fellow human beings. But that doesn't mean they should stop being kind to the animals!

Was he not invited or is he too busy playing cricket or something?

Wonder if May and her Brexiteers have adopted this as their inspirational song.

We are a door to nowhere
Come on inside
Taking that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
I'm feeling okay this morning
And you know
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go

The UK's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs attendance to this meeting seems essential. What's Johnson's excuse for not attending?

Quite, deliberate cruelty to animals is one of the surest indicators of socipathy/psychopathy.

The BBC understands a senior UK official will be sent in his place.

Perhaps it just means they're sending someone serious.

Did he misplace his US passport?

Those US border control guards don't mess around, never have messed around. No passport, no entry. Even with a passport, they're remorseless, you know?

At least, that was the way it worked in my day.

Just his US taxes.

Virgin will also run the urgent care facility at Paulton community hospital, which is 12 miles from Bath, and subcontract a number of other services to other providers, including the provision of dementia and end of life care and a “hospital from home” service for recently discharged patients.

That's my local community hospital. It was earmarked for closure at one point several years ago but we managed to hang onto it. There's a maternity unit (run by the Royal United Hospital in Bath), a minor injuries unit (the bit Virgin are taking control of I presume) and some hospital beds for recuperation care. There's a local charity shop that supports the hospital with continual fundraising for equipment etc. Quite how people will feel about donating when a profit-making company is controlling the asset to which they are financially contributing to remains to be seen, but I know I'm not especially keen on the idea. It changes the whole relationship between the community and their hospital in ways I suspect many people have not even started to consider.

I answer yes to the invitation of Stephen Bannon, CEO of @realDonaldTrump presidential campaign, to work together.

I can't decide which way Donald Trump will go re Nigel Farage. Will he (DT) blow him (NF) out? Will Nigel Farage get some minor and non-influential post - with a large pay-cheque, naturally? Will Donald Trump tell Theresa May that she has to use Nigel Farage as her conduit to the US if she wants to get anywhere? If it's the last option, I wonder what Theresa May's justification for accepting (as she would) such a condition.

How aware is the US electorate of what the Le Pens represent? Well aware, or soon will become so, I hope.

Either Trump is an incompetent or this is an absolutely massive fuck you to the UK.

They have a point...as another tweet said "both"

Minor point - but how does all this help Nigel Farage in his ambition to spend more time with his beer mat collection, or whatever he said he wanted to do?

My guess is this information is for the edification of Europeans, not the US electorate. I could be wrong.

Indeed, calling such people racist is the real racism these days

I don't think the US electorate would be as stricken by the Le Pen and Trump alliance as European residents.

PF. You've misspelled Tosser.

If Trump announces Farage is his new envoy to the European Union, I'll know that this isn't real and we've been acting out a giant episode of the Thick Of It.

Probably not. But it's time that they were. I'm not liking the way things are going.

Pleasing, I suppose, that May is seeking to emulate Thatcher to such an extent that she's going to try her best to make the Queen hate her too.
