I'm not sure he thought through the Bay of America thoroughly as apparently the costs in changing a name like that would run into the $Billions mainly because of shipping.

Musk wants to buy the UK. Trump doesn't...as he sees UK as a 'mickey Mouse Island'.

Don't we feel a bit neglected over here? He hasn't suggested he wants the UK to become the 51st State yet.

I see he's planning or wishes to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, you already renamed it the "Bay" Hedda!

yes I'm quite muddled but who wouldn't be after all this heady stuff?

I'm still worried they all suddenly look south and decide they want a new Southern island state. Eggs are quite cheap here.

If he wants to buy UK which he won't. He can't do any worse to the country.

A Wall around Wales?

Some GM, love life - everywhere.

A gift to enjoy, talented or not.

Me, average chap: JK almost genius...

Why not Cat, they can build a road to Ireland and exchange cattle.

Genesis and 10cc but for Bubblegum pop not so much.

He gave the Rollers are leg up but they never really kicked off until there was a line up change.

not sure how he could buy the UK although he can influence politics with donations.

But seriously..is Reform going to do much better at the next election?. How many seats..5 now/. Farage's influence is vastly over rated. I mean the Greens have 4 seats and the media treat them as non existent.

And I reckon Corbyn's new party will pick up far more seats from disaffected Labour voters.

As much as I enjoy Musk making Starmer uncomfortable I think it will backfire as the vast majority of Brits will not put up with an outsider telling them what to do.

Musk has probably made Starmer more popular

Watch out what you wish for GM. Starmer might flog Trump the Isle Of Wight and he may send all his millions of Mexican illegals there as the third country option a bit like our nutty Rwanda fraud scheme.

I once heard that you could fit the entire population of the planet earth onto the Isle Of Wight crammed shoulder to shoulder with each other. Admittedly this was when it was probably a couple of billion less than the 8 billion it now is though.

Isle of wight is just a prison island.

Trump is winding back the claim to deport millions of immigrants.

It always sounded like an impossible task to me.

Maybe the farm lobby has got to him.

So is the mainland UK by your definition then....and that includes for many law abiding Brits not just the felons.

As for Trump, two weeks from now I'm sure he's going to come in and there will be a whirlwind of activity and we can sit back and enjoy a second wave of Trump derangement infecting the usual suspects.

Ever been there Rich? It's a prison island.

Yes I have been there and stayed. Infact I even had a pair of visitors for an afternoon from the IOW just after Christmas. They managed to escape the island!

Maybe I'm missing your point here, and you're referring to how awkward it is to get across the Solent or how expensive it has now become to do so apparently.

Which one were they in Albany or Parkhouse?

At least you had a ticket to Ryde, if you were a naughty boy you may have gotten there for free.

Pankhurst*

The IoW is a beautiful island, famous for many things - not least Osborne House - where Queen Victoria died in January 1901.

And for Cowes Week, the oldest and most respected international sailing regatta in the world - with c5,000 competing daily.
