So, being able to discuss the politics of any nation requires having traveled there to find out personally? How many times have you been to the USA? Are you really qualified to discuss our politics, Tom?

Several times actually and my son was there last week in Las Vegas at a Cisco conference with his boss. He is going to New York soon and I am minded to join him. So where have you been Doris?

If you had been in this country you'd have known that the £350 million is a gross figure before rebates and grants. It was made crystal clear over and over that the nett figure is around £180 million. It was also made clear that the money wouldn't become available until we left the EU and stopped paying into the EU budget. I don't see how you could get all that on the side of a bus!

The media is abuzz with admiration for the glorious speech given by our POTUS as he travels forth with the world's destiny in his hands.

no i'm not "sore" I made my points.
I am firmly convinced that our meddling in the Euromaiden was not about something noble like "corruption"
Nuland's "F*** the EU" showed all we were interested was confrontational expansion.
Turning Ukraine into a pro-west state, and destroying Putin's access,and economic deal with Yank.

last time I answer you if you cannot be coherent

Incoherence isn't MY problem......my question was rhetorical.......If I had made the arguments you did in that exchange I'd be too embarrassed to continue living.....

last time I answer you if you cannot be coherent

You do whatever you like.....it won't stop me from demonstrating what a massive pillock you are...

No you can't, you have to have a tight fiscal policy controlled by a central bank for it to succeed. The biggest problem was the EU was too myopic and corrupt to see that the PIIGS had no business being in the Eurozone in the first place

But the PIIGS kept the project afloat with their demand for financing......German banks were more than happy to provide the means by which Greeks could buy arms they didn't need, from German suppliers....

You are correct about the fiscal demand, but Germany has some experience with that - and when they did it, the world applauded.

let me revisit this...I was a bit hasty in concluding that Milagro was talking sense...

You need co-ordinated fiscal policy.........but, in yet another spectacular fail, you confuse mandates....

Fiscal policy - governments

Monetary policy - central banks

commit that to memory....

Several times, as in two? How many days on each trip and what regions?

I am am not condescending, demanding that to understand politics you have to immerse in a persons's culture, that is you.

I do not care to fly long distances, I prefer to travel by boat, car or rail. I admit to having very little experience traveling the globe, but if you count family members's experience, like you count your son's, then I have been all over the world.

Well if it were two then l'd have said a couple of times. The last time I went to the US was about four years ago when I went to see my old mate Richard in Vancouver and we stayed a few days in Seattle. The first time I went was to Maryland to see our US partner Dialcomm in Silver Spring. We stayed for a month and also visited US Sprint in Reston Virginia and a host of other companies, many sadly no longer in business. Another time I flew to California to visit a company called General Automation in Anaheim for two weeks and attended some courses. Also been to New York, do you want dates as well?

I'll have to remember that you've set the standard that if you haven't been to a country, you can't comment on it.

No never said that, I only pose the question when somebody displays monumental ignorance about a country and have obviously never traveled very far.
