This 29 country organisation, 70 years old, has shown itself up in recent days - during the London based meetings.

Petty gossiping, infantile remarks and schoolboy antics - by powerful and elected individuals. And early disgruntled exits.

For example - one leader fighting centure and impeachment in his own country. Another seeking election, after failing to deliver the promised Brexit.

Some obviously had other things on their minds. Putin is giggling; France is embarrassed; Buck House had a distraction.

An impotent talking shop, and a relic of WW2 - after which it was founded. Just like the United Nations.

Set up at the same time, in a different era - and in every sense, incapable and irrelevant.

Keeping old golf clubs and theatres is good; not dated entities - which have no purpose or raison d'etre.


Our world has moved on...

now it's revealed..Barney is obviously a FSB agent !!

It's all down to Trump. He really is a nightmare (who owes me $3000). Insiders say he's really cracking up and often makes no sense in his office. I think I can believe it.

The rest of course..all nightmares but they know what's good for each other and can co-operate. I reckon NATO is a must to counter Russia's ambitions but Vlad Putin seems to be smarter than all of them put together.

Empires eventually end and I'm sure it's the end of American power..and it's coming from within (they have all the weapons so it had to be an inside job).

Of course down here in the South Pacific we are looking forward to China ruling the roost as it snaps up 1000s of acres in Australia, airports and ports etc.

However I'm convinced that the Chinese see Australia as an ideal holiday location (bit like Brits see Spain etc) and won't cause much damage as long as we act very servile which I can do very well.

## Last summer my reverted and gorgeous Bondi Pool was chockablock with Chinese tourists. There was literally not a single space to sit. Look at it..normally deserted but with 100s and 100s of Chinese swimmers. And they put the price up to $15 and wouldn't accept my pension card.
Life can be so unfair.

The elite should be worried. Merkel days are numbered, Justin Trudeau is way more feminine than Kenneth Williams, Macron is can't control his own country.

The general election candidate's are all a farce.

Trump Will win the second election Which will make the next PM panic.

Trump paid my friend swell for the booze supplied at his hotels.

He has a Trump vodka bottle signed by him.

@Hedda,

Trump was Murdoch's brainchild in his quest for dominance and more US power.
Little did he know other dark forces would ensure the complete opposite.

Very clever indeed.

I LOL regularly at it.

Trump is a multi-tool fool. If he wins another term, it will do US more damage. That said, I think he's attained a level of discrediting and distrust which other countries are going to take advantage of.
