Vance, eh?

I know nothing of this man except what I have just read on the Guardian website.

Honestly, I can't work out who has lost the plot here, only that someone has. This isn't going to be an 'islamist' country. Our Muslim demographic numbers less than 7% of our overall population, and they seem to be just the same as everyone else. I lived in London for something like 38 years, it's OK, this issue is, to use an American idiom, a nothingburger. If Vance really said this, he's talking very regrettable nonsense and it does not bode well.

But maybe it's just the Guardian being a bit of a horse's *rse. Not exactly an unknown phenomenon.

OK, work done, all that remains is something I can only sort this evening.
Must not use the time to read stuff designed to give me an embolism.

Vance is a really dangerous human being.

The whole political situation here is scary as hell.

I am surprised by what I've read of him. Has Trump chosen him to secure up the far right vote, or to neuter him as a rival?

I wish President Biden would step aside.
