When Trump weighed in on the record-breaking California wildfire season last week, he was - as usual - roundly condemned in the media for 'insensitivity', 'stupidity' and 'ignorance'. But what if his comments about forest management and climate change were actually well-informed?

This week on NewsReal With Joe & Niall, your hosts discuss the raging California wildfires and the pretentious ideological beliefs that lead federal and state authorities to go way beyond their station by attempting (and repeatedly failing) to tackle local environmental problems via hare-brained measures intended to 'save the planet'.

Also discussed on this episode is the interminable 'Brexit' fiasco. This political wildfire flared again last week when May's govt announced that 'a Brexit deal' had been settled with the EU. 'Brexit' in name only, the deal effectively keeps the UK in the EU, which led to the mass resignation of govt ministers and the threat of an imminent leadership challenge.

Watch to learn why the UK cannot leave the EU...

Another interesting show chaps.

The immigration issue within the EU perhaps has many aspects to it. Like cheap labour, multiculturalism, and so on. Maybe at a beyond 'human conscious' level, there is a 'driving force' seeking to impose a bland mono-cultural worldview on the population, akin to the deficits found in psychopaths for example? A battle for hearts and minds? Made more 'manageable'?

graeme15b Mono-cultural sounds about right. And yes, made in psychopaths' image. One world united under the same banner, but only superficially. Real bonds are dissolved to produce masses of lonely individuals.

Brexit will result in the Welsh invading England and Scotland claiming independence... May will implement Abba singing and dancing therapy as part of a national coping strategy, ‘like a puppet on a string’ will become the national anthem and Tony Blare will eventually take the throne, thongs will become mandatory under the national underwear safe-space gender neutral emergency plan and Boris Johnson will become minister for silly walks and talks. Go Brexit

I might be wrong of course, it could go swimmingly...

Not to worry if it goes wrong, eventually the Irish will invade and proper underpants wearing will be re-established... America will intervene but the Irish with their secret ufo fleet developed off the coast of Kerry, will take them out easily.

Scotland still independent, will wage war and take over the world... now everybody wears skirts, but at least everybody has the correct underwear, it could be worse. Go Brexit.

If you’re wondering how I write this shit just think Brexit, ill conceived, and ultimately ludicrous... perhaps HSBC will pick up the tab...
