Double gosh

I missed that, but when I used to go to Canvey as a boy they were then 20 years out of date and drowning. I'm surprised that 50 years later they're still there and not overwhelmed by rising sealevels and swamp subsidence.

Was that before, or after The Great Flood?

Canvey Island (aka "The Wart") does not loom large in Trump's list of world problems - it has an increasing Jewish population diaspora-ed from North London, no known links with ISIS (Oxford or Syria) or North Korea, and no room for a new golf course. Linked by two road bridges to the hated mainland swamp of Essex it demands its independence. Settled by East Enders they took their traditional pie-n'eel shops with them. With memories of the blitz, my relatives resettled there, withstanding cruel jibes, which apparently persist, and suffer under the jackboot of neighbouring Essex (and we all know what they're like don't we?). Fiercely independent , they voted solidly for Brexit. So if they are successful in gaining independence they are most unlikely to join the EU. However the island could be reclaimed by the Dutch who reclaimed the island. That might cause Trump a problem.

Gwen. Both before and after.

Tomo. Your link to US ungagging returns us once again to the delights of Canvey Island politics, or are you suggesting they are related?

Trump may have won the race to the White House, but Clinton seems determined to win the race to the Jail House. Nobody can doubt the spirit in her guts.

Can anyone remember what it cost to persuade US Democrats to favour Clinton? I think some senior Democrats may pay a further and higher price.

Both Democrats AND Republicans need to drain their own swamps, before grooming future Presidential Candidates.

Climate Audit have been questionning the "Russian hacks" since 2nd Sept.

RYAN: Thank you… We’ve heard you’re going to be announcing your foreign policy team shortly… Any you can share with us?

TRUMP: Well, I hadn’t thought of doing it, but if you want I can give you some of the names… Walid Phares, who you probably know, PhD, adviser to the House of Representatives caucus, and counter-terrorism expert; Carter Page, PhD; George Papadopoulos, he’s an energy and oil consultant, excellent guy; the Honorable Joe Schmitz, [former] inspector general at the Department of Defense; [retired] Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg; and I have quite a few more.

Dishonest Don bigging up his foreign policy advisor, excellent guy George Papadopoulos in an interview with the Washington Post.

Few people knew the young, low level volunteer named George, who has already proven to be a liar

Trump today, after Papadopoulos pled guilty to lying to federal agents working for special counsel Robert Mueller in his investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.

I wonder how Trump will describe his former campaign manager Paul Manafort, if the indictments for money laundering, tax evasion and fraud are proven and he heads jailwards?

Trump's personal swamp seems to be self-draining. Very considerate of him.

Popcorn please. LOL.

Phil.
Savour it.
Don't rush the gun.
It will get messy bigtime.
Watch the LOL grow

If The Guardian had blamed Trump's bouffant hair for obstructing the satellites, they would not seem so scientifically unreliable.
