The NHS is going through a difficult time. There are around 7.5 million people currently waiting for operations. The waiting list for radiotherapy/cancer treatment is several weeks. Doctors go on strike for more pay, this leads to many thousands of people having treatment cancelled. There is a...

I thought the candidate for president was chosen as the result of what Americans call the primaries- I may be wrong but is America going to have primary elections to select a candidate from those who wish to stand? Or does the Presidential election procedure go out the window. What do I know...

Oh well, I guess it gives the Americans here a chance to slag off and rubbish somebody different. My opinion is that it gives Mr Trump an open goal with nobody to stop him now, not that there was anyway. Col

Are you saying children have guns? If so, then there is a big problem. Col

I could comment on that but I'm not going to. . . . Yet. Col

Shame you don't extend that courtesy to others on these forums. Col

Listen to the song 'In The Year 2525' by Zager and Evans, its on YouTube or Spotify. It was in the charts around 1969. Col

So where is the ghetto then? I read about it in a Sunday newspaper supplement and it was about poor black people in New York living in a ghetto. Why is that ignorant? Col

Ghetto - yes I've read about it. Its in New York where poor black people are forced to live. Col

You've not even scratched the surface yet. Col

Is that why Americans call a house 'a crib' and a friend is now a 'homie'? Col

Thanks, got it now. Its an anti-trump thing. Col

Doc said MAGA is a phrase. But your post indicates it is an area of a state. Its very confusing to foreigners. Col

I've found out that MAGA means 'Make America Great Again', is that a political party? Why is there so much discussion about it? It must be more than just a phrase judging by the way those here get heated about it. Col

Which we all know he will - one way or another. Col

That's a good one. Had a good chuckle over that. Col

I wonder who I might choose as Vice President. It'll need to be someone who can rabbit on without saying anything, someone who has a temper etc etc. No, I'm stumped for the moment. Col

I agree with Pat. As a Brit I view the USA from an outside perspective. A gun is a means to an end, it can be a defensive deterrent or can be an aggressive weapon, as can 1000 other things like a hammer, a stick, a knife etc etc. The prospective perpetrators choose from a vast array of...

Thanks. I was really wondering if there was a level or limit to what type of gun you can carry. Being British I only know of two types, the six gun cowboy thing and a machine gun Al Capone used. So if you have a licence to carry (open or concealed) can it be any gun type thing? Col
