Anyone else sick of hearing about Bidens love in for his ‘Home’ country.! Good lord his ancestors left in 1851.🤬

In statements he really does display his dislike for the UK.

Totally overplayed . Somebody said one in ten Americans claim Irish ancestry and the further away they live the more Irish they become. State visit or an old man visiting his ancestral roots. All a bit of a circus 🎪.
When the choice of President is Biden or Trump you can't help thinking what a bad state American politics is in.

You would think with 300 million people to choose from there are better options.

And nice to see any secrets of national security we share with the US are kept secure and only shared at the top end of the security chain. :moresarcasm:

There probably are many, but very few with the wherewithal to be able to do it.

Perhaps he's not cottoned on to the fact that his ancestors were actually from the UK.

Thank god he's gone, his rambling on about how Irish he is and he thinks of his ancestors every day and it's like I'm home. The only good thing is he has an English name, maybe he is more English than he realize, a@se hole.
Don't worry, be happy

I get fed up with listening to people in the media or locally telling me what a wonderful country theirs is. I am always tempted to say if yours is such a wonderful country what are you doing over here? Why don't you b****r off home and enjoy your ancestral home because I'm fed up with listening to you. Personally I find it the height of bad manners to go and live in another country and then continually run it down at the same time enjoying all the benefits it provides. They are nothing but leeches on the host society.

As for Biden I sometimes wonder about his health. He always looks unsteady on his feet, speech seems slurred and makes the most incredible faux pas of one in his position.

The way he puts it out there I wouldn’t be surprised if he hasn’t got Syphilis…. I believe it has some of the same symptoms as dementia?

P’s Sir Merv, you can leave the Republican puns for another time ;) :) :wave:

I think it's much more important that ordinary people who've contributed to their community got invitations. I'm sure you will have welcomed that OL. Meanwhile any disgruntled Dukes and Duchesses should be encouraged to hand in their titles. Or if they're considered a threat HM could follow his ancestors' example and cut their heads off.
