I shouldn't have used the term "real work", what I was trying to say was that the vast majority of work is being done in the so called urban liberal places. (As a response to @Eboue 's "Its sickening to see the contempt that urban liberals have for the actual working people of this country.")

Exactly.
So the best bet to be 'on to a winner' in these communities is to feed them a line of bullshit about bringing their jobs back and then completely forgetting them once they've voted for you.
Yes. Hillary's comment about putting miners out of business was likely intended to refer to the big companies involved in coal mining. Instead, it's right up there with her deplorables moment at telling a whole bunch of voters I don't care about you.
Which is where the USA struggles. Liberal is a dirty word, Socialist is an absolute no no, simply because of how distorted the definition of each has been etched in to the minds of most citizens.

What's so special about coal workers, there are millions of people lose their job because of the advancement of technology.
Architects, used to be dozens of them now being replaced by one Autocad
Accountant, what used to be teams and teams is not replaced by Excel, and many other accounting programs
Shop Assistant replaced by drones and automated machine
Bank teller replaced by ATM and Net Banking
Factory workers replaced by machines

Because the US is still stuck in the dark ages in terms of most things, banking/technology for the most part and advancements past the age of fossil fuels and it's usually the rust belt states which is very akin to living in the 50's/60's North England, they seem to blankly refuse to want to move on and so promises are made to keep it, the US would be in the best place to actually embrace Solar & Wind Energy given the vast amounts of land and the amount of sun they get but always seemingly ruled out due to the "unsightly" towers /turbines which is ironic given what comes with oil, coal and the like.

Hollywood is an industry ran by pedophiles, backstabbers, and rapists. A fair few devil worshipping elitists too, who also like little boys and girls. And even with all the money in the world, those bitches couldn't tell an original story and shove rehashed movies from yesteryear down our throats. Honestly, feck Hollywood, nuke them.The real work done in the USA is done in Silicon Valley, Manhattan, feck, even Hollywood. Coal accounts for next to nothing, it's a 19th century industry. People who get their hands dirty are always so stuck up about their "work"
You're sounding like Yang here
My gut feel is France (and possibly others) won't agree a 3 month extension unless it's for a ge
3 months is not long enough for a referendum (or a renegotiation) and unless Mays bill is passed then I think they will want to know a ge is coming which may change UK's position.
I suspect a confidence motion the day after he has to submit the letter asking for the extension (id there has not been one before)
I don't think France would act unilaterally to kick out the UK but they may add conditions (eg you have an extension to 31st march but it can't be extended any further under and circumstances)
Let's be honest though if the UK was to stay now we would likley be a proper pain to put up with especially given our meps
I think America becoming a socialist state has about as much chance as America introducing Sharia law. Actually I think it's less likely.
Idealism is awesome, but without realism, you will just spend your life being angry that guys like Trump keep governing the country.

You have a better chance of teaching them vocational skills like plumbing, building and electrical trade than coding at this stage of their lives. A lot of tech jobs require problem solving skills developed from an early age.
Disappointingly, I used to use articles and videos in my lessons about this style of retraining and it seems it failed. There were actual programmes ("Mined Minds") but the miners involved are now suing the providers.

Another programme I saw was related to retraining miners to install solar panels. I wonder how that's going.

He's desperate for everybody's gratitude. Reminds me of old Communist posters I saw in a book, with the slogan 'Thank You, Beloved Stalin, for our Happy Childhood':
Is this man sick or what
Probably one of the reasons he’s obsessed with Kim Jong-un. Loves a mural.He's desperate for everybody's gratitude. Reminds me of old Communist posters I saw in a book, with the slogan 'Thank You, Beloved Stalin, for our Happy Childhood':

Oh ffs Trump, just shut it will ya! Yer gettin’ on me nerves something dreadful!
Will there ever be another leader like uncle Joe? Just look at him, ran an empire AND delivered milk in the morning!He's desperate for everybody's gratitude. Reminds me of old Communist posters I saw in a book, with the slogan 'Thank You, Beloved Stalin, for our Happy Childhood':
Good news is they’re looking into it.
Bad news is they’ve looked into it and are sending more forces to stay at Trump’s golf course.
The air force staying at his hotel is only the tip of the iceberg on that story.
What's more interesting is why they've increased refuelling stops at that (loss making) airport (to the tune if around £9m, and are now its biggest customer.

Hint: it rhymes with honey squandering
Bunny floundering?
Funny wandering?
Prepares self for Tucker Carlson explaining how this is not only justifiable, but good for the tax payer and that the real problem here is the irresponsible fake media trying to hurt the President.
Runny pondering?
I believe the suggestion is that the airport was brought by the Scottish goverent for £1 as it had been commercially unviable
Said commercial unviability continued and as such the government was considering closing it... I believe trump turnbury tried to stop this as they believed the airport was essential to its future viability
However this year it has seen millions spent by the us us military on refuling ... Which is a littl surprising as they never used to refuel there and doubly surprising when you consider they pay more for fuel there than they would at military bases...
That said the most surprising thing would be having enough evidence to take this beyond allegations and into something that could be prosecuted
There's ALWAYS a Tweet.
Trump Org. has a property nearby this airport and the organization feels the airport is crucial to their property's economic future.
Trump has previously vowed to make said airport successful. (see @langster 's post above.)
Trump is now in a position where he can influence government agencies to use certain facilities and services of his choosing, either directly or through incentives.
It's not a big logical leap at all.
On the first point.. yes trump turnbury as I mentioned
On the second point logical leaps don't turn allegations into prosecutable cases... And as I say the most surprising thing to me would be if there was an evidence trail to support said leap of logic
I'd wager that the incentive offers to US servicemen are pretty good evidence.
Why would they be using Prestwick Airport to refuel when America has Air Force bases in the UK where they could refuel with a greater level of security. They could also house their crews on their bases.
I fully agree it is a logical leap... I still say that in order to turn that into a prosecutable case there would need to be evidence
And I'd still be shocked if there was lots of that lying around
