The liberal elite and mainstream media must, after the Uk's general election, Brexit and now the US election see their power rapidly ebbing away. I don't think they are yet broken and they will become vicious. I am not sure of when and how (and for the moment are too winded after last night's shock, but they will seek revenge.<br />I am sorry if this sounds like one of the conspiracy theories as Emma Bell declared on Radio 4's Media Show this evening. Ms Bell obviously had not come to term's with Trump's victory (Prof of Medius Studies or something at Columbia) and she was explains the nasty stories about Hillary's health had been devised in Slovakia and Russia I think she said. However I really believe those from Hillar's camp really did believe they were the elite and knew best and they will work even harder for the destruction of borders.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223253889086419817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-4586848682004175182016-11-09T16:52:04.383+00:002016-11-09T16:52:04.383+00:00Why is what Germany thinks so important?

I don't see Trump or anyone in Republican leadership interested in breaking down the Federal Leviathan or loosening the grip of Golman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, GE, and Google on the whole system and citizens. But we dodged a bullet, that's for sure.<br /><br />What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of Beeboids.<br /><br />I got the Conservative victory in 2015 right, and I got Brexit right, both of which the BBC got horribly wrong. But I honestly didn't expect Trump to come even close. I guess I need to figure out the US equivalent of the Question Time audience.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-38458675574337967252016-11-09T16:15:41.763+00:002016-11-09T16:15:41.763+00:00Jenny Hill seems to be having a bit of a meltdown ...Jenny Hill seems to be having a bit of a meltdown judging by the number of anti-Trump tweets she's put up in the last 10 hours:<br /><br />https://twitter.com/jennyhillBBC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw<br /><br />I guess she was hoping for an open borders Prez.

Why is that? <br /><br />Might it be because they think that, as a global broadcasting power, they can attempt to export their leftwing opinions and influence the outcome of the US election in the same way as they thought they could influence the EU Referendum vote in the UK? Seriously?<br /><br />Dream on BBC, but just give some thought to the abuse the UK public's licence fee and abuse of their trust in you when you use your organisation for this purpose. What was the cost of this US sojourn - both financially, and to the reputation of the BBC as a serious news outlet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-77066461430381973582016-11-09T12:47:54.265+00:002016-11-09T12:47:54.265+00:00"Very few people thought Trump would actually..."Very few people thought Trump would actually run, then he did. They thought he wouldn't climb in the polls, then he did. They said he wouldn't win any primaries, then he did. They said he wouldn't win the Republican nomination, then he did." <br /><br />BBC report (Anthony Zucher I think)! Talk about cheek!!!<br /><br />They get £2 billion from us every year. They send hundreds - yes hundreds- of staff to the USA for election year...and they can't even get close to predicting the result. <br /><br />For me, this would be a resignation matter...remember last night Ian Katz had FOUR anti-Trump commentators on! Not one pro-Trump commentator. How can he possibly justify that? Outrageous bias. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
