An Australian professor of Data Analytics from Griffith University who predicted Trump’s first win, the Australian Federal Election(when all the polls said the opposite) and Brexit has called it - Trump will be re-elected for another 4 years. You heard it here first.
Have to admit I'll be delighted if Biden gets in . I'm in my mid 50s and the thought of hurtling towards my 60s with the most decisive American president in History in situ was a depressing thought. I get Biden isn't up to much but frankly a shit on stick would be preferable to Trump. I get what you say though its never been dull!

Yeah we can all provide out of context propaganda videos.
Since when did ‘out of context’ matter with the nut job left? People are getting sacked and ‘cancelled’ for less.
Do I believe either Biden or Trump are racists? Of course not but identity politics and perception are all that matters in the current’virtue signalling’ world we live in.

Did you witness Trump's insane ramblings last night?

I have a fgenuine question to ask.
Why is it OK to call people with views left of the centre reds or commies as if that was a crime, but take offence (mostly greatly) if people with right wing views are called facists or racists? What is the difference between the extremists on both sides of the political scale? They appear to be the same to me as do/did the dictators in USSR, China, Chile, Portugal etc.
On a personal level, I admit to having had left wing tendancies in my youth, but they were all but destroyed when the Russian tanks rolled into Prague in August 1968.
I also regret voting against Ted Heath in 1974 (not that it would have made any difference). His conservative government leaned more to the left than Blaiur's ever did!

I know I will also regret posting this question!
Whether a fascist or communist, the one thing both of these political sects have is a hatred of free speech. Now I regard myself as a humanist and atheist with no particular allegiance to any political party so I'm not sure whether this is the response you were hoping to get Terry.
But as a believer in free speech — because the alternative is to shut down your freedom to say what you think — I see no problem in calling someone a 'commie' when they display what I see as an overwhelmingly strong left wing bias. Equally, I have no problem with any left winger calling me a fascist or racist if my policy of saying what I think should offend them and lead them to that conclusion. I would strongly debate that I am neither a fascist or a racist but I may not be able to convince all and sundry. However, it is my belief that it is far better to debate than ban. I really do believe it is the right of every person both here in the UK and throughout the world to speak their mind without fear of the governing authorities applying a law to stop it, whether by losing your freedom or your funds.
People need to be able to say what they want out in the open, in the full light of day. If not, their beliefs will go underground and fester in that darkness, growing like mould until it consumes whole groups of like-minded souls. You can see that sort of problem in so many areas of the internet and almost as certainly in houses and halls across this country.
Now, I'm old and I don't understand the way this 21st Century world is apparently heading with so much that people cannot say for fear of offence. In a few years I probably won't be around to worry about it. But surely, occasionally being called a 'commie' or a 'fascist' in the heat of the moment during some debate is far better than being afraid to debate it at all. Sticks, stones and words come to mind.
One small addendum for the sake of Clive's sanity.
This is primarily a site devoted to Queen's Park Rangers a club founded by the merging of Christ Church Rangers and St. Jude's Institute, two very different institutions. These two mission churches had problems with the original merger but chose to openly discuss their problems and not wander away and part for fear of saying something that might offend the other. It was that freedom of speech that brought them together and created the club we all love.
I would suggest that we keep all posts on the subject that Terry has raised as polite and pleasant as we can. Clive has a really unenviable task on this site at times and I have no wish to make his workload any heavier.

You told me to fck off to Russia once for expressing an opinion.
This is all well and good on principle, but a lot like Labour, too many promises they won't be able to keep with no mention of the economy or cost.
It's all going to be free.
Tonight, as we celebrate Joe Biden’s apparent election victory, we understand that our struggle is not over. It has just begun. pic.twitter.com/8cnSnojXmm

Why bring Labour into it? What has Labour, or even Tory, got to do with tne US election? (And lets not forget that as Mayor Boris did more u turns than a London taxi)
How about it saying;
“This is all well and good on principle, too many promises they won't be able to keep with no mention of the economy or cost.“
