My understanding is that the USA under Biden will not do a trade deal with the UK unless the UK has one with the EU which guarantees the Good Friday Agreement and no border with Ireland (Eire). And whilst he is seen by many as a Trump devotee, Biden is certainly no bosom buddy. Johnsons racist comments about Obama and muslims will not go down well with Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris.
ITALY – DEMOGRAPHCS
Along with many other developed countries the birth rate is falling. Italy’s population is at its lowest for 90 years. Villages are becoming deserted, especially those in hill top positions in remote parts of southern Italy. Test areas are already the poorest in Italy with few job prospects. They are also extremely vulnerable to Covid with many hospitals having been closed.
There are. some parallels with Cornwall where the number of intensive care beds very low. Cornwall is one of the poorest regions in pre-Brexit EU.
BELARUS
We should avoid becoming to insular. Russian influences will pervade here, but Lukashenko’s time might be limited. Belarus may not have the right wing element that exists in other Eastern European countries. Although I doubt that Russia will allow any liberal government.
DENMARK AND HYGGE
BIG BOY PANTS
Trump has until the 20 January 2021 to pack his bags – so I guess no rush! However unless he wants to go down in history as one of the worst losers since 18012 when Adams did a pretty good sulk. So Donald, put your big boys pants on, delete yourself from twitter and be gracious in defeat. Save the money you are thinking on spending on spurious legal cases for when you need them to pay your back taxes.
Hopefully the idiots parading with weapons in support of Trump will return under the stones where they were festering. Biden is sounding like a president and this maybe a problem for Trump supporters. No more demonisation of different groups.
Disappointed already
Biden has not committed to make the planet better yet. Climate change is not waiting!
SKY DIAMONDS
It is not April 1st!
TRUMP’ED
Just go! Hopefully now we can have USA joining the Paris agreement and even setting the pace for change. And with his deputy being female and black, with a Jewish husband, he is well placed for bringing some unity to the country.
Words not that relevant, but I am sure someone clever could adapt! trumpety trump
