    Well done Trump on getting the Gaza deal done.
    He said last week there would be “Hell to Pay” if a deal wasn’t reached before his inauguration this Monday.

    The controversial BBC acknowledged begrudgingly in the last two sentences of their 10 minute report that Trump had a SIGNIFICANT impact on the deal being reached.

    Well done that man!

    I thought he was pretty effective in the EU Parliament, don’t you Richard?

    If you had been approached by the most powerful man in the World and built a good relationship and friendship with him, why not see him, I expect you would.

    Farage wasn’t at the rape gang debate because he was in another room an hour before with many other MPs involved and speaking at the debate about the petition with over 3 million votes calling for another election. He was told to stay there until the sitting finished which ended about the same time the rape gang debate did I believe. I’m sure he would have consulted with Lee Anderson on what question to ask.

    Farage has recently bought a house in Clacton, and will see his constituent’s more. Already the local’s have said they have seen more of Farage than their previous MP of eight years.

    Yes, I do believe the Reform people do care for this country, and us, something Labour and Conservative have and are failing to do on an epic scale.

    And why do you believe they don’t care about us Richard? What’s in it for them?

    Yes I did watch the video thanks moehat, made by activists.
    Go on then, rather than just provide a link made by someone else, in your own words tell me how he would be dangerous?

    Richard, just because Musk has found a new way to try to influence people it is much the same thing Labour did try to influence people so quite why you are calling him out, and is hypocritical from you.

    And it still does not answer why you think Reform are a threat, a threat to who?

    moehat, so what is a racist and what proof do you have Nigel is one?

    Richard, so it was quite okay then for Labour to send 100 of their people to try to interfere with democracy and the result of the election in America?
    Sounds very hypocritical from you?

    Why are Reform ‘a threat’? A threat to who ?
    Why a Reform/Tory coalition?

    I quickly saw the title of this thread and assumed Arkle comparison’s not the race were being made.

    After the previous race, as the horse jumped the last and went away it fully reminded of Arkle.

    This one will step up to three miles in time, be more of a beast, and become a legend at least par with Arkle.

    With Coral’s
    Trump 4/5.
    Harris 11/10.
    Close indeed. Suspect there may be many ‘recounts’!

    I do wonder if Dettori wasn’t such a big part of the day and worked out well for the scriptwriter, how the meeting would have been seen then?

    Okay, great run by King of Steel, but………..
    Pretty ordinary to me that the meeting did not set itself apart from others.

    I find Champion’s day a bit ‘odd in that there are all sorts of Champion’s races throughout the season.

    At this time of year it feels like the flat season should be winding down after the Cesarewitch, with the November handicap drawing a close to the turf season.

    Now, the focus should turn more to the jumps.

    Champion’s day feels like one of those crackpot British Racing ideas, trying to over engineer something that does not need to be.

    I still feel all these years later that my idea of making the Balmoral handicap into a national lottery sweepstake would increase interest for the day at least ten fold.
    There, about 20 joe punter’s would each have won a million quid or more, and major charity’s received much needed funds.

    Even on here there were objection’s and no enthusiasm, so there it ended.

    Shame as it may have made some of us willing to give this a go a ‘pretty penny’ to bring the idea to life, and also an opportunity to raise their name as a major fundraiser.

    At this time, I don’t think so.

    About half the country likes a gamble on the horses one way or another.

    To me, racetracks looks full, people see it as a day out with improved facilities.

    The only thing that couple spoil it now are interventions that are not needed. The BHA’s campaign to get more students in, people who have no money wasn’t thought out.

    That’s the only danger I see is the people in power who can change things for change sake, and in the process ruin the product.

    Absurd!
    There should be a referendum on this!

    Joking aside, I feel more would welcome this change.

    As you say Richard man has been at war for thousand’s of years, it’s like nature has put this destructive gene in our DNA, maybe to keep human numbers down.

    With plagues, and various climate changes over the millenium’s etc, I think our mother nature has a lot more say in our life than we think.

    I was reading that our Queen liked him, and apparently delayed their Christmas dinner for an hour when he had a Christmas day special.

    I haven’t heard of him for years, and assumed wrongly he had already died.

    But at his peak on his time on this earth, he was liked/loved by tens of millions.

    Shame he just disappeared into relative obscurity, while other populars from yesteryear have been treasured until they passed.
