Never seen this old clip of Richard Branson talking about Trump, the first time round.
Bang on the money. Even more relevant today.

Scenario: Trump is elected.
Trump immediately cuts off funding for Ukraine's defense, NATO (US allies) are in turmoil as Russian troops start to mass at Poland's border. Poland and other countries call for a US response, they are ignored.
Meanwhile Trump again starts a trade war with China, imposing heavy tariffs not only on China, but on US allies like Canada and the EU. Food prices in the USA skyrocket.
Several incursions on Polish territory by Russian Troops takes place. NATO decides to move into a defensive posture against Russia without US backing.
President Xi of China sees the USA as weak for not defending a NATO ally and moves it's NAVY into Taiwan's territory - a land invasion seems imminent. Trump threatens China economically, but since he's put such heavy tariffs on China, it's meaningless. China invades Taiwan - Trump does nothing.
Taking a hint from China, Russia moves more Troops onto Polish land, Putin knows Trump won't do a damn thing - Trump's Putin's buddy. NATO and Russia go to war without the USA.
Meanwhile in the USA, jobs are being cut because of the skyrocketing costs of goods, social unrest is at it's maximum. Angry people march in the streets demanding something to be done about the economic catastrophe that is happening, and they are met by federal troops as Trump declares a state of emergency and martial law is imposed.
Democratic Senators and Congressmen are arrested by Trump loyalists, and there is nothing anyone can do about it because MAGA owns the Executive Branch and the Judicial Branch - the legislative branch is now meaningless.
People are arrested for speaking out against Trump - the Constitution is nullified, and in place of it a new Evangelical Theocratic State is installed, which gives the president unlimited power and names him as "Gods Messenger".
Fuck around and find out.

Why?
"Why don't we produce English coaches of Tuchel's standard, Collymore "?
Two reasons.
1. £13,700 to do your Pro licence in England, today. In Spain it's around €2000. There are 2200 Spanish pro licence coaches. There are 200 English pro licence coaches. Look at the correlation between cost and coaching number.
2. Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney all took jobs instead of doing 3 years at SGP. Why? Gerrard got £2.5m at Rangers, Lampard £1m Derby, Rooney $1m Washington. Fuentes, Spanish head coach coached Sevilla and Bilbao youth on around €30k then Alaves first team where he lasted 6 months on around €100k before being sacked ( for those who thought Southgate Boro CV wasn't up to scratch).
So English coaches have to pay 10 times more than European compatriots to get the same qualification, and English players don't give SGP an identity because they never get there, they go straight to jobs where their fame gets them inflated salary and deal.
I invite anyone reading this to..
Tell me Gerrard's philosophy.
Lampard's philosophy.
Rooney's philosophy.
You can't. Because they never went to SGP to learn one or develop one with each other. An "English way". All winners by the way.
Spain? France? Every 12 year old could tell you the arse end of every Spanish coach, what the core tenets are and how they play. Why? Those coaches coaches with each other, can afford the courses and develop an overall style that suits the environment they work in ( Spain), which is then taken abroad and utilised everywhere.
Deal with the root causes and we'll get our coaches.

I have a pair of tickets to give away for #PostOfficeScandal - The Inside Story in Swindon on Monday. Nicki Arch is our super former Post Office manager guest. And she is a brilliant speaker.
Retweet this tweet to be in with a chance of winning those tickets BUT you must ALSO reply to me saying that:
a) you want to be at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon on Monday and,
b) you have the logistical facility to do that.
Winner will be picked randomly.
If you can't be in Swindon on Monday, but still want an incentive to retweet this tweet (please please), then I will also give a prize of around the same value to anyone who
a) retweets this tweet
b) comes up with a prize they which sounds like the most fun combined with the least effort.
Winner will be chosen on merit.
If you can't be bothered with all that and just want to support what I'm doing, please retweet this tweet... I would be grateful...

It looks like worrying about what we ‘can’t afford’ has got us into this mess in the first place - see attached article.
If we have the intelligence to send humans into space to land on the moon I think it’s well within our capacity to design a society that helps everyone to thrive.
The money is a side issue to that - money is simply an energy. You can use it for good, you can use it for bad.
I’d suggest Government use it for good, to build a society that works for EVERYONE.
That takes imagination.
And imagination is what we’re really lacking in at Government level, in my opinion.

Who are you believing Henry Staunton who says Kemi Badenoch told him to halt sub-Postmasters compensation to help the Conservatives at the next General Election.
Or KemI Badenoch who calls him a liar?

What kind of society would you like to see?
I know for sure it’s the same as me.
Fairness, truth and free from strife,
a place where everyone can thrive in life.
Respect, dignity and love abound,
a place where kindness and compassion are found.
Education and knowledge for one and all,
opportunity and purpose to fulfil life’s call.
A focus on health, wellness and calm inside,
support to navigate the challenges of life in my stride.
A chance to be the best version of myself I can be,
to make the most of my life alongside friends and my family.
What kind of society would you like to see?
I know for certain it’s the same as me.
