Disclaimer & comment rulesMy worst fears have been confirmed. The average American is a white supremacist. Now Latinos in the USA will face persecution and those in the rest of the world will face constant threats from the USA.
Nov 09th, 2016 - 11:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well done to the people of America in dumping Hillary, soon to be surrounded by lawyers to fight the charges she so richly deserves with NO presidential immunity.
Nov 09th, 2016 - 11:29 am - Link - Report abuse -1Do they have oversize orange prison jump suits fitted with back flaps to change her nappies?
So the U.S. working men and women and in many areas the established working Hispanics have turned out in force to give her the only accolade she deserves F_ _ _ O _ _! (that was to be gentle for EB who will be stating she never wanted The Hil anyway).
President Trump: way to go The Donald.
HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!
Called the Brexit, called the Dollar, called Trump.
PMSL over EB - oh the joy!
@ChrisR Why? You are not an American and neither am I. Seriously? If the only joy in your life is this it is probably time to give up.

Nov 09th, 2016 - 12:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is that the best you can come up with, at least you are not calling me names or lying: well done!
I will return your downtick to you.
How do you get work in the FI? Do you have to be from the commonwealth, EU or South America or is it open to American immigration also?
Nov 09th, 2016 - 12:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And there you can all see with your own eyes in its full glory ChrisR's obsession with me. It is creepy.
Nov 09th, 2016 - 01:15 pm - Link - Report abuse -4Seriously though folks. Will anybody ever believe opinion polls again. They got the UK General Election totally wrong, they got the UK referendum totally wrong and now the US election totally wrong.
Nov 09th, 2016 - 02:39 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Was watching BBC 24hr News last night (or it may have been when I switched over to SKY) but two US pundits were being interviewed and right at the end the presenter said to them that the bookies were calling Hilary at 5-1 on. “the same” she said “as they called the referendum”. They all fell about laughing but to misquote NF “they're not laughing now are they”.

Nov 09th, 2016 - 05:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He won Florida, he couldn’t do that without Latinos voting for him.
However this does mean trouble for Mexico.
The polls are in a special relationship with their customers, the MSN. If they REALLY conducted the poll properly, adequate sample size relative to the 'batch size' and did it face to face in many different areas taking care to represent the people who will be voting and then processing the data in accordance to the relevant ISO Standard the outcome would be statistically correct BUT NOT IN LINE WITH THE MSN 'VIEWS'.
Nov 09th, 2016 - 05:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0SO, IN A NUTSHELL THEY GIVE THE CUSTOMER WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR.
Statistics, sampled and processed correctly do not lie, it's mathematics, not what some CNN Wonk wished his friend Hillary had, but never did and now never will.
@ EB
“You are not an American and neither am I.”
So what ! Are you no longer claiming the family that you say you have in the States?
I have a valid interest because of where I live and the cost of the dollar which is about what I expected by now but thought that with the triggering of A50 in March '17 and the timely dismissal of the Canuck who, with his 'mate' Osborne, deliberately depressed the GBP would soon see the pound shoot up.
I have to admit I never saw the perverse actions of you and the other Remoaners coming to the surface. In the end it will be of no use. The repeal of the term limit act and the new election boundaries of late, the first past the post system TGW a snap election will crush you bunch of whiners into the floor. Good riddance, the population has previously never turned against a genuine poll result but I suppose all the Hooray Henneries are see the end of the rip-off the customers which has kept them in champagne and illicit drugs up to now.
Tits will have 150 extra MP's than now BUT they will have to toe the hard Braxit line which she claims is the 'will of the people' or not stand at all. Guess what the cowardly MP's will do, yes, roll over and have their bellies tickled.

Nov 09th, 2016 - 10:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0From what I have heard Cuban-Americans are pissed at the Democrats for relaxing the Cuban embargo. There are also lots of legal inmigrants who voted for Trump, failing to realize that the increased persecution to Latinos will not affect illegal inmigrants only.
I've spent a fair bit of time in Florida and what I learned is the Latinos....don't want fresh Latinos coming in and taking their jobs...
Nov 10th, 2016 - 12:28 am - Link - Report abuse -1I imagine it's the same closer to Mexico, they would probably welcome a wall...or control on immigration.....
I know Poles who voted for Brexit.

Let me explain. Having family in the U.S. does not make me an American. Honestly, you are stupid as pig's dribble.
“I have to admit I never saw the perverse actions of you and the other Remoaners”
What actions have I taken, old paranoid one? I accepted the result of the referendum and have stated it here many times.
You have posted a load of rambling nonsense but Mark Carney isn't going anywhere. And kindly address my Prime Minister with the respect she deserves and earned rather than talking like the tabloids you read and believe.
You have one opinion and no power beyond that. One again I am grateful you left the country I love and put status and money above your own family. I can enjoy my country without you polluting it. And my taxes won't have to pay for your dementia medication.
