    I know and who is the best candidate?
    Hillary = has world exposure as sec of state. ex hubby as pres so knows the routine
    Sanders = unknown junior sen

    Sanders appeals to young voters who have a grievance against main stream politics but sad fact is they know nothing of politics and its a protest vote, so what is the win for the USA, its likely Clinton vs Trump, so an interesting Nov

    Without a doubt Sanders is light years better than Clinton. He has been getting bigger attendances at rallies than Obama in 2008, and he is getting donations from a wider number than Obama in 2008. But he is being excluded from most public debates, Clinton has the Democratic machine mostly in the hands of her disciples and grave rule breaking in voting in primaries and caucuses has taken place to hinder Sanders, although currently the DC chair in California is close to being sacked. Who knows what will happen though. Clinton has been an establishment shoe-in for years.

    Do rallies or numbers of attendees really sate a persons credentials, I agree the establishment is ingrained and like the UK needs change but what are we or the US voting for friend or foe?

    I think if the choice is Trump/Clinton then it's miserable. Clinton will be no different in aggressive military terms, maybe even worse than Obama, and she is still fully wedged up the jaksi of Israel. Trump, well no one really knows what he would be like. He might mouth off a lot in a nasty way but Clinton (given she has had power) has said things that were so unacceptable that she is no better.

    Trump I agree is a random choice and no way to know what he will do as his rhetoric is likely worse than the bite so to speak, Clinton I agree is establishment and the Israel vs Pal issue is a whole different topic and one not to go into on a tech forum, but does merge with not only US politics but UK as well as we have seen on late. Going to be an interesting month for us Max this June and then spilling over to the Nov US elections, 2017 what do we look forward or backward to.

    Well, I hope that enough voters in the UK will ignore the quite shameful scaremongering about leaving the EU - the very same institutions and economists saying all will be dire if we do, said exactly the same thing about why we should have joined the Eurozone and currency all those years ago! The sheer brass neck of these lying toads is a wonder to see.

    Totally agree on the scaremongering and the as you say ERM scaremongering did not happen, quote the opposite to be honest, for me and working in the NHS I think better out is not view and not that we will not ever take employees from outside the UK to work for us, but we can use an Australian system of taking who we need and are employed over those that come and do not work.

    I thought after the pension scare the next thing was if we leave the aliens from Mars will attack.

    Ahh, yes, the vast right wing conspiracy against Bill Clinton that the Hildebeast called a 'bimbo eruption'.

    We are now over 50% immigrants in my neighborhood, pretty much all on H1B Visas. All making huge money here in Silicon Valley. All wanting huge homes and to bring their extended family here. We have 12 people in a 7 bedroom home down the block and the parking is a mess.
    My own problem is our $1.5M homes have swimming pools and are very private. Almost all the homes are single story. Building to the property line and 37 ft tall takes out the pools, leaves no trees and invades privacy. At the last City Council meeting where we were debating more stringent building codes to maintain the current neighborhood lifestyle I was told "your neighborhood has changed, you should leave".
    We need to be careful who we put in office. We have one that is buying votes with immigration policies, present and promised, that will change our American Dream.

    DOA I hear you and we have a similar issue as certain political parties are calling for more homes to be built for the population we have already then as an a-political move they are calling for more help for the migrants in the EU to be settled in the UK, what do you want really the UK is struggling for schooling, housing and the NHS (I work in it and see daily the issues we have) and public services... all at breaking point but "do-gooders" want more immigration.

    As for your comment on housing and the look, aesthetics of an area, in the UK we have streets that are white van city! really we need to tax company cars/vans parked in residential streets as parking is a nightmare, I'm not so bad at present as I live in a village but its getting worse by the week.

    I saw this on the news today about London's new mayor:

    Hmm, "helping' women's esteem, or censoring based on religion?

    As a Londoner, I can't tell you how appalled I am about what a complete lying two-faced jackass Sadiq Khan is. And I say that as a loyal supporter of his party. I only gave him my second-preference vote because I didn't want another Eton College Tory Boy.
    This latest nonsense of his is just ludicrous. But worse than that he actually lied through his teeth about pledging a four year freeze on the (already very high) public transport fares. He said "Londoners won't pay a penny more for their travel in 2020 than they do today" ... until after he was elected he then admitted that the pledge will ONLY apply to cash single fares and pay as you go fares. It will NOT apply to weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual travel cards!
    So for the MILLIONS of people who have to use public transport at least four days every week, mostly five, they will still have to buy a period travel card and they will pay more every single year!
    I could go on further about the lies between when he was standing for selection as the Labour Party candidate, and mostly what he said after.
    He may be the first ever Muslim Mayor of a European capital city but he is one dodgy man.
    But I do need to qualify that I don't think Khan being a two-faced con artist is anything to do with his religion - there are plenty of other bad politicians of all creeds.

    Well I am getting used to it! I used to think Tony Blair was the most brazen but his long-time admirer Sadiq Khan is showing his true colours.

    Max, I believe Khan is just like red Ken and promise everything and deliver nothing, Boris did try and did in part listen I think, bendy buses went and the eco ones will help, I'm not based in London like you but I do work and visit on occasion around the Old Street area, the tube is a great system, but to price it out of the "ordinary" folks pocket is idiotic, many of my colleges who work in the city do live outside due to cost of housing and now with added transport costs, they could move to other cities and then London looses skilled workers. In healthcare we can move around a fair bit ok, the skills are in need.

    Khan is showing his true colours and did everything to get the Mayor post, not that the Tories put up the best candidate really, needed not a Eton boy.
