More humour: Hillary: My economic programme of high taxation and high spending will create jobs. Look at 1970s Britain, we could be like that. Donald: I know nobody, not even economic analysts on my own side, think my economic programme is worth a damn. But I'm right. Hillary: Donald will grab the nuclear button like a pussy! Donald: I used cheap foreign labour and materials and avoided paying tax because Hillary never stopped me! Hillary: Donald causes trouble and division and violence wherever he goes! Donald: The women who accused me of sexual assault were paid by Hillary to say that! The violence at my rallies was caused by people paid by Hillary! In fact they may not have been paid by Hillary, but if so these people are just figments of a collective imagination of the American people! More follows...or maybe not...

Trump actually called latino immigrants, "hombres". That'll grab a few more minority votes.

I was paraphrasing, obvs, for a cheap laugh...

So far: Hillary: We need reasonable limitations on guns, gun shows.... Donald: Oh, ya want a gun show? Look at these babies, sponsored by the NRA, endorsed early by them *smug smile* Hillary: I don't mind a political place person on the Supreme Court who'll do as I say. Donald: I don't mind a political place person on the Supreme Court who'll do as I say. Hillary: We need immigration reform, amnesties but also deportations. Donald: I want a wall. A big f ucking wall. You know, I was in New Hampshire and the drugs that pour across the border are destroying lives in New Hampshire. You know, that state right next to Mexico. More follows...

Not been a great year for that show. As a former Latin scholar, I shuddered a little too. Now the only Latin I normally see is on Strictly, mind. A lot of that makes me shudder too, he he.

Former King of Rwanda and the Tory MP I guess, but it's early in the week....

Everyone knows despite their personalities that these two main candidates can be summed up as follows. Hillary is a safe pair of hands. Donald is a tiny fingered, pussy grabbing, press the nuclear button pair of hands.

Posted in the Death Anniversary thread as well, but worth mentioning here that it's 5 years since Betty Driver died. Hilda Ogden and Betty Turpin reunited after 5 years apart.

Well, what a coincidence! It's been 5 years to the day that Betty Driver was never to return to the Rovers in Coronation Street. She was 91.

Sorry for your loss, Shaun. My condolences.
