The Day After....

Not from the US, but politics is politics around the world. I'd suggest that Trump merely represents values
that a majority of people believe or have been taught to believe in. The 'Emperor' perception of the current
President is a prank that originates from the idea that someone in that class strata genuinely cares for those
who are lower down on the caste system.

Whether it's true or not, doesn't matter. It's the well-sold concept that aligns with what a large number of
people want, that is the true vote-swinger. Trump is the face of an ideal that's been stifled from any platform
for many years and representing a fickle public has always been seen as the third rail.

You tell them you're going do something for them, but it comes at a cost.
Look on the idea as maintaining a spouse to physically harm. Your partner needs to be there for you to hurt
and that means placating to some things, but deriving pleasure from the knowledge that the rules were always
yours in the first place.

Trump is simply forgoing the standard rules that we've all become accustomed to in politics.

If consuming crack-cocaine and soliciting prostitutes are crimes in parts of the USA -and the Hunter Biden
emails are agreed to be true, do you think Hunter will be imprisoned? The rules of conduct and political
gamesmanship are for the public, not the Elders of the church.

For Thee... Not Me.

Quote:BLM UK gains legal status and renames as Black Liberation Movement UK
Registration enables campaign group to access donations of £1.2m and invite people to join.

'Activists from the Black Lives Matter UK campaign group have placed their organisation on an official footing,
marking it with a change of name. The group, which received £1.2m in donations following widespread protests
in June, has registered as a community benefit society under the name Black Liberation Movement UK.

The registration of the group, hitherto a loose collection of activists, was required before it could receive the donations,
which had been collected via a GoFundMe appeal. The society was registered on 14 September by Adam Elliott
Cooper, an academic, Alexandra Wanjiku Kelbert, a PhD student, and Lisa Robinson, a director of a Nottingham-based
social enterprise.

All have been involved with the UK group since it was established in 2016.

Elliott Cooper confirmed to the Guardian that Black Liberation Movement UK was the group’s new official name, but said
it would continue to organise under the name Black Lives Matter and in collaboration with the wider BLM movement.

“We remain committed and our politics hasn’t changed, and we remain in constant conversation [with] and committed to the
network of Black Lives Matter groups across the world,” he said, adding that the choice had to an extent been forced on
them because different permutations of the Black Lives Matter name had already been registered.

According to a registration document filed with the Financial Conduct Authority, the purpose of the BLM UK community benefit
society is to be a “national campaigning organisation which supports black African and black Caribbean communities in the UK”.

“The society aims to alleviate racial injustice and discrimination specifically amongst the black African and black Caribbean
communities,” the document says. “Black African and Caribbean communities have historically suffered social, economic and
environmental injustice because of their race, and the society aims to challenge and remove the injustices faced by these
communities.”

In a hint at what it intends to do with the money raised, the document says BLM UK will “provide funding in the form of grants
to community groups and campaign organisations” and “organise events and … deliver educational resources and learning
on the issues of racism and discrimination that affect black African and Caribbean communities”.

The organisation had to be registered as a legal entity as a condition of receiving the money from GoFundMe. Elliott Cooper
said the community benefit society structure was chosen for two reasons: “The first is that it’s a legal structure which allows us
to take political positions on political issues, which is of course important, and we would be constrained by a different kind of
legal structure such as that of a charity.

“But it also means that we are compelled to have a democratic structure as well, which I think is important for questions of
accountability and good governance.” The registration followed months of wrangling about the future of the group, with some
activists leaving and people criticising the decision of BLM UK activists to remain out of the limelight, even as donations
continued to build.

With the new legal status, the group is preparing to open up. “Once we have all the legal structures in place, which we’re just
getting to that point now, we’re excited about holding public events in the future and, of course, inviting people to join,” Elliott
Cooper said...'
