Well socialist means Islam.

I have friends who were marxists who partly caused Iran to turn fundi, because they allied with fundi muslims against more secular nationalists

They sided with radical islam in lebanon, the lebanese civil war broke out between Christians and the PLO then you had leftists come in on the side of the PLO .

The only reason the PLO was in lebanon was because they came in as refugees, these refugees changed the demographics of lebanon which cause the war in the first place .

if your a socialist your backing the side that will fight against the people fighting islamic invasion. you can see that now on the streets

More one sided bollocks Jonny. Who do you think has levered more nutters into power all over the middle east and around the rest of the world than all other nations put together?

It was those damned Marxists, the Yanks.

"I'm really good at that stuff," he said. "I know Wall Street. I know the people on Wall Street. We're going to have the greatest negotiators of the world, but at the same time I'm not going to let Wall Street get away with murder. Wall Street has caused tremendous problems for us. We're going to tax Wall Street."

Trump also highlighted his independence from campaign contributions. "I don't care about the Wall Street guys," he said. "I'm not taking any of their money."
I suspect that this will be a growing trend in the Trump campaign going forward.

The idea that the USA will is going to end up with Hillary and Trump debating each other over which one of them can and will reign in Wall street is the greatest farce of the Century. We can compare Hillary's cattle futures and White water record to Trump's four bankruptcies and deals where all the other investors got flailed while he came out on top.
They both have plenty of experience just not the kind the country needs to duplicate.

Well, Leicester City have won the Premier League. I cannot quite believe I just typed those words.

I don't know how the Leicester Foxes got into this conversation but anyway on the way into work the radio informed me of their impossible dream coming true. I happen to have had an Irish worker in the crew for the last week or two so when I got to work I asked Liam if he had placed a $100 bet on Leicester to win it all at the beginning of the season.

There are apparently about 50 people in the whole of the UK who backed Leicester to win at the start of the season, at 5000-1. About half of those have cashed out - or partly cashed out those bests - and the other half, who must all be Leicester supporters - must be in dreamland tonight. For the bookmakers, it is a nightmare. Not so much because of the tiny number of people who backed Leicester at the start of the season, but the large number who backed them at various points after they went top of the league in the Autumn. It will change the way bookmakers operate.

Bookies fear £50m payout on Leicester winning the Premier League

“The bookies were too clever — they thought it couldn’t happen”, said Simon Clare, PR director at Coral. “If a golfer wins a major at 500-1, it’s a brilliant result for a bookie as hardly anyone will have bet on them. The unique thing about Leicester is that people were betting throughout the season, and even in October we were still offering 2,000-1”.

Coral took £500,000 in bets on the winner of the Premier League, and a Leicester win leaves them with a payout of £2.2m, meaning they will have made a net loss on that market of £1.7m. “This will change the way we offer odds,” says Mr Clare. “Bookies will never offer odds of 5,000-1 again.”

It is difficult for Americans, who do not have relegation/promotion in sporting leagues, to understand the true enormity of what has happened. It is being described as "the greatest achievement (or the most unlikely victory) in the history of team sports", and I think this is a justified claim. They were lucky that none of their key players got injured, but apart from that it has been a case of a manager who somehow managed to create a team that performed so much better as a team that was so much better than the sum of its parts that the whole thing defies belief.
