    Donald Trump chooses Rick Perry to be energy secretary

    A half-wit? I think you're rounding up! Personally, I'm not against Trump appointing people who aren't very clever. The less capable his cabinet is, the less able it will be to implement Moscow's agenda. The US is now a vassal state of Russia.

    Sharia police' are not illegal, rules German court

    Folks, you need to break the law to be convicted of something. Reminds me a little of 4 lads who tried to do something similar in London a few years ago. They were just harmless idiots for a while, until they got into a fight. At which point, they'd broken the law, and were sent to prison...

    Can Muslims be friends with Christians and Judea?

    There is pretty much nowhere in the world where civilian possession of such weaponry is not illegal. And even if there were, local laws would not prevent US drones from killing anyone owning them. Sovereignty only applies at home etc.

    Can Muslims be friends with Christians and Judea?

    Don't tell the NRA, they'll launch a campaign to legalise them. "WMDs don't kill people, terrorists kill people"

    Can Muslims be friends with Christians and Judea?

    Yes. I'm guessing 'Judea' means Jews, rather than an area of land. You can't be friends with an area of land. I know, right. About time we made that stuff illegal.

    Which countries are a threat to western democracy in the next 50 years?

    For all its faults, and as much as many people moan about it, globalisation keeps us from world war. For the simple reason that you don't attack your customers. The more interconnected we all are, the more there is to lose by falling out.

    Exxon CEO Tillerson emerges as frontrunner for Secretary of State

    Trump was quite clear about who he meant. He meant politicians in bed with banks. He meant Goldman Sachs, who he moaned about in multiple tweets before the election. Since then, he's appointed 3 ex-Goldman Sachs execs to his cabinet! And he's appointed a Labor Sec who does not believe full...

    Sounds like you're handling this in a very dignified and civilised manner. I hope your sister makes a good recovery

    The US Brexit

    Aristocracy? Do you mean, people born into money? Or do you just mean he's someone who has somehow managed to trick you into believing that he's not a member of the elite? It has been a political fact for decades, if not centuries: if the working classes want representation, their only hope is...

    The US Brexit

    America just elected a member of the elite. If you don't realise that, you're delusional

    High court rules Article 50 can only be invoked by Parliamentment.

    Let's sat Remain had won, 52/48. Would you be comfortable with a 'hard remain'? If the govt said the ref result meant the UK could throw itself in the EU? Adopt the Euro, join Schengen, lead calls for an EU army? Maybe even adopt French as a dual official language?! I reckon you'd probably...

    Nice acceptance speech by, Mr. President Elect Trump

    He's not banned from entering our country. But our capital's mayor might be banned from entering his. We'll find out soon enough.

    The reason why Hillary lost.

    On the basis of a bunch of innuendo in far right media? Or is there a particular criminal conviction, you know, in... say... a court of law, which you'd like to draw our attention to?
