I get that football thrives where it is a manifestation of tribalism. Across Europe and beyond club flags offer people more affinity with than any national emblem.
But, with one or two exceptions, it’s a largely innocuous brand. We get to wear tribal garb and indulge in our rituals without onerous economic consequence. The echo from the Great Recession, which we are still hearing today, has been a lesson in what can happen when a tribe perceives that its relative position has diminished.
That perception often bears absolutely no relation to reality, but widespread economic illiteracy makes us look like a primitive animals.
My only flag’s a Celtic flag. You are my only tribe.

I am surprised he got this far, but they obviously didn’t think it would happen, but you are right, he needs to be very careful, his problems start now.
As long as he fosters positive relations with the likes of Russia I will be happy.

Nope; use the figures in and then extrapolate to guess the expected outcome from those still to come.

TET … I’v e been on CQN since the start, and I think you are about the same …. dont think you and I have ever disagreed before (even on a single song!) ……
the end of an era (sniff!)
Auldheid,
Looks like the article has been pulled, just getting an error report, have you got a copy you can paste on here ?
Article pulled??
I’m growing a mullet
Auldheid,
I too can’t open the link.
Macjay.
I’ve just been on your Canberra based Australian Celtic fans blog.
Stayuplategetupearly.
I thought it only fair to say that I mentioned you in dispatches, arguing about politics. :-))).
He’s written some good pieces and Melbourne Mick has been on posting, after you gave him the heads up.
Hopefully his blog will succeed and get the Celtic message out there in Australia
He’s picked up on fav Celtic players which was on CQN and changed it to unsung Celtic players that were personal favourites. I said Joe Craig, that goal at Ibrox will live with me until I die.

Not too positive I hope, they are very jumpy in the Baltic states about what Putin will do next and my Ukrainian friend was extremely concerned about what Russia might do there if they think they have Trump’s support
I don’t think it’ll be long before putin tests how far trump will support him
MiT
I reckon you have been on here a while longer than I have, I have been reading from the start but didn’t start posting till 2009 ish.
Politics is a nasty business, it wouldn’t be so bad if it actually made any real difference to us, we will get shat upon no matter and yet we fight over who is to do the dumping, nothing stranger than folks right enough :-)

I just don’t want a war between the US and Russia, I believe rightly or wrongly we are further away from one now that Trump has been elected.

Watching ” Can’t pay, we’ll take it away”
How can anybody be a high court eviction officer. Evicting some of the most vulnerable people in society.
I certainly couldn’t do it.
HH.
TET … well said. the average punter is going to lose no matter, and yet, we fight their battles for them! bizarre.
and speaking of battles … I reckon that in our CQN profile we should have to post how old, tall and heavy we are …. that way, I’ll know who I can be cheeky with !
And I’ll give you plenty of notice about when I’m coming over to sort you out … so, you can have my dinner ready …. but it’ll need to be when the weather is good over there…. that work okay?
They say it’s so quiet in Clinton’s campaign office you can hear an e-mail being deleted…
AULDHEID- at least you are giving the lamb munchers at Level 5 a sleepless night:), a 404 job…
THE EXILED TIM on 9TH NOVEMBER 2016 9:36 PM
I think you’re right, but I also think it could lead to more loss of life in Syria, the Crimea and the Baltic states
Let’s hope not

If you are trying to gauge the political climate in the US ie where the population is at politically, what you have to look at is the popular vote ie how each individual person voted.
What happens procedurally thereafter doesn’t give any insight into the political climate, though it may determine who gets to live in the white house.
The one other point that no one has mentioned is just how low the turnout is, at about 53%.

Of course a US and Russia war with them both on the same sides could be a cracker ;o)
