    Wouldn’t they have to admit it to be pardoned?

    Not my understanding of how a presidential pardon works, but I've not googled it to check so happy to stand corrected.

    I'm sure Bercow said this with a straight face...

    Trump is running out of time for Pence to do it, also got the feeling Pence is a touch pissed at Trumo right now. Would Biden do it? He shouldn’t

    @ELLERS here's something to get your teeth stuck into.....Salmond launching an attack on Sturgeon! Could make the elections in May interesting

    Biden shouldn't pardon Trump. He should instead lean on every prosecutor to urge them not to prosecute Trump. Trump would love the limelight and the chance to become a martyr, entrenching further existing divisions. The best way possible to punish Trump would be to starve of him of the oxygen of publicity.

    She'll get them postponed, just like Khan in London. She's under pressure from Salmond and Galloway plus the vax in Scotland isn't going well at present...

    Our nation needs healing as well SM. It would be hypocritical of me to deny independence to Scotland after I voted for Brexit. I think they should stay because our union is not like the EU one, but if they go, don't use the pound and we treat them as a third country. we cut the money on day one. Let the EU bail them out.

    I don't know what their fiscal plans are, but they were a bit fluffy about it at the last attempt.

    I really wish the SNP would get the other things that have been allowed to deteriorate sorted, instead of spending their time and energy banging on about independance. Once Covid is out of the way (gonna be a while yet) they'll be back banging their drum. I have plenty if friends who are SNP supporters, and a few who are anti. It's difficult, we need more autonomy from Westminster, but breaking the Union is a step too far for me...

    It is a bad enough break from the EU... Scotland would be a nightmare. As I said recently I will make sure I have a few trips to Scotland rather than the hot places where I can't understand them.

    Trump supporters don't carry guns or arm themselves. Is that what he should have believed? On another point , I wonder just how many of those 'Proud Boys' (and girls obviously) will hand themselves in to face justice. An awful lot of masks and face coverings for the task of taking pride in the stand you are making. Your first point is a sweeping generalisation of a problem criminal courts have to deal with on a daily basis - what is reasonable force to defend yourself. The high number of incidents in America where black men are killed without posing any danger to anyone and it is captured on mobile phone footage indicates that there is a clear problem with the attitude of police officers and that many (but obviously not all) would be found to have not used reasonable force.

    'The likelihood that any were suicide bombers was incredibly small' On what do you base that ridiculous argument?

    Statistically a very small percentage of people wearing backpacks are suicide bombers so technically he’s correct but I suspect that’s not the right answer.

    Hopefully his ban from Twitter and other social media will do that. Locking him away for the rest of his days quickly would be justified, and help stop him running for President again. Impeachment would double down on that.
