Trump. What do we make of him so far? Well, apart from provoking hatred throughout the world, he has done nothing to suggest that he will be the president he said he would. Alright, it's early days but one would have thought that someone with an ego the size of his would have made more of the early opportunity to shine. All he has done is to divide his country even more than it was. The announcement of a state visit to the UK has encouraged people to take to the streets in many cities throughout the UK. In fact, we haven't had such scenes since the poll tax riots during Thatcher's tenure. The anti Trump protests in the USA have, according to various alternative news sources, been organised and funded by George Soros, that well known troublemaker. Whether he has done the same here in the UK is uncertain but I wouldn't be surprised.
If the UK government thought that Trump would distract us from Theresa May's brexit fiasco, they were wrong. May was in Cardiff yesterday meeting the heads of the devolved administration's. Nothing of any note was decided. Pretty much as predicted. Scotland's first minister, Nicola Sturgeon would not be drawn on whether she will call for another independence referendum. The BBC are obsessed about it. Every news bulletin has at least one mention of it. The Scottish Labour, Conservative and Lib Dems seem to be scared stiff of any mention of a referendum. My prediction is that another referendum will take place no earlier than May 2020. I also predict that there will be another EU referendum in the UK. taking place in 2018. Well that's enough of the crystal ball for today.
Till next time.
