Suspect arrested after eight people, including six Asian women, were killed at Atlanta-area spas

Eight people, including six Asian women, were killed in shootings at three different businesses in Atlanta and Acworth, Georgia, on Tuesday, according to local police. A male suspect was arrested and charged with several counts of murder on Wednesday, police said. At a press conference in Atlanta on Wednesday, authorities identified the four victims killed in Cherokee County.

 

Yesterday Biden was 4/1 to be next president and Harris was 12/1

 

Today (after the covid announcement) he’s out to 14/1 and Harris is 9/2

 

Are they going to use Covid as an excuse to pull him out? 

Trump is 2/5 for anyone that’s interested .

They’ve gone pal. Went a long time ago. 👍

Anyway, our new Foreign Secretary. 
A good working class, Christian lad ‘arselicking’ the potential VP of the US.  
May confuse a few.

Any evidence of this meeting for 'ins'? Happy to read all about it.

Also, if we have such a special relationship, why does it need the MP for Clacton to fly over to the USA to wet nurse the former President when he is surrounded by people already doing so?

Here we go again. Go on then I'll play. Show me anywhere I mentioned 'meetings' between Farage and Lammy.

Do some more research and you'll find out exactly how Lammy got in touch.

Again, you jump to the special relationship. You should have been able to deduce which special relationship I was alluding to but then again, I am guilty of failing to recognise limitations from time to time.

Been keeping an eye on the odds for a while. A very steady shortening of the odds for The Don for months now.

Harris came in to about 5s last week then went out again, obviously this covid announcement has changed things.

I have had a quick Google and found nowt, hence me asking.

Ok so the special relationship is between Farage and Trump, sorry for missing this as I have always seen their relationship quite differently.

This 'Special relationship' bollocks. As the French ambassador to the US said, "If there is a special relationship, it's one sided on Britain's behalf"

 

 

Biden’s done.

Good.

Trump needs a challenge.

Through all of the childish fits of pique by leftie types, just imagine how entertaining the retribution will be if Trump wins. The squeals of anguish would usually be enough but the current situation offers so much more.

A dish best served cold and all that.

He can’t be done. David Lammy has come out and said he’s fine.

Bolty thinks this is some sort of social media version of The Count of Monte Cristo

Most amusing 

 

Trump will win, because as with people in this country rather than consider the issues that drive people to support him and tackle those, people think the answer is to attack him (verbally I mean)

Biden will lose because he is a frail old man , it might be an exaggerated image but he just looks lost. The Democrats know that polling shows that the only candidate they could have that might come near Trump is Michelle Obama. 
 

Labour over here have 5 years to prove they can tackle the issues that matter to people. Cost of living and NHS are top of that list, but they can not ignore immigration. I personally do not understand how the spend announced this week will have any affect but hopefully it is a start , if it fails that is down to Labour but let's see what else they do.

And the feral scum rioting in Harehills were not in the main Muslim despite what little Tommy has said.

There have been a series of interviews from the event. Amazing how the interviewer is classed as a typical BBC stooge for asking awkward questions. The fact she left the BBC because they were not really allowed to ask such questions without appearing bias is ignored

We clearly won the play-off final but the fake news media cheated and gave it to Oxford.

Polling analysis does not suggest there is a big reform surge on the cards here. When you consider second choice parties were LD at 79% and Labour at 70%. I agree Labour need to deliver but the Tories need to reclaim the centre ground if you look at the polling data. Farage is only reason reform are popular and there seems to be quite a hard ceiling there as things stand.

It's the Trump way. Rather than answer difficult questions, just go on the attack, with personal insults if necessary and shout "fake news".

Farage is following suit, think over here at the moment the vast majority see through his approach. But for his supporters they think he is very clever.,

I wonder in 4 years time whether people will be questioning Trump's mental acuity. He will be 82 then, and indeed the oldest president (by 5 months over Biden).
