I heard Americans saying that they were voting because he's s a businessman, but we' ve had the experience of a nation being run like a business and it doesn't: work. Businesses aren't t obliged to have social responsibility, governments should in the experience we' ve had with him in Scotland Trump seems completely unscrupulous in his dealings with people. Some of us yesterday are discussing whether he could be a psychopath! I guess a lot of these people are on the psychopath scale, but Trump seems like a quite extreme example. Poor America. I' m sure Obama had many faults as a leader but at least he seemed like a caring, intelligent, principled man.

But they are saying that HIllary actually received more votes than Trump. It's just the skewed voting system that means she loses, even though she wins. It was the same with Gore and Bush.

Do Americans know what the verb 'to trump' means in the UK?

No, you know fine that what I'M m saying is that some crimes are worse than others! Even the law recognises that, and we all know, it's s an ass

Not to mention Butch and the other one who died because of Luke mcalister on the day we met him.

Give overPete thought he had accidentally killed Ross and panicked. He's s no murderer. Plus he's s had years of Ross's resentment to live with. The cheating was the straw that broke the camel's s back. I' m sure Cain would have cheated with one of Sam's s girlfriends. Ross had no grounds for retaliation, he provoked the situation.

So if a sibling left you for dead, you wouldnt be a tad miffed?

So they are. I forgot, I thought they were cousins. You can't expect to understand the Dingle family tree. Has their been a more confusing family tree in the history of TV? I think not

Although Sam has never left Cain in a ditch for dead, if he did, I reckon Cain wouldn't have let it slide. Then again, Cain did lead it slide when Zak did, so who knows? All I do know, is the thought of Sam beating Cain unconscious is bloody hilarious

It kind of scares me where the world is heading. It's not just the US, it's here. It's France. It's all over Europe. People choosing blatant xenophobia or fear mongering over common sense. Politicians causing deep division and hate where there wasn't any before.

I have no idea how she pulled those 2 hotties

Sam doesn't t count them?Does Cain hate Ross? I think he empathises with him, that' s why he was so understanding last week. Cain's s basically a relatively decent person who had a terrible start in life, was damaged by that and spent a long time being extremely angry and taking it out on other people. That doesn't t justify a lot of his acts, though. Ross had a problematic childhood too but nowhere near bad enough to have scarred him so much that he would set out to kill someone, he might do it in anger in a fight but not deliberately. Heck I have a close relative who had a scarily similar background to Ross but with a more violent father - and he went into the police ,( although to be fair, polis have criminal minds - and I got that from a policeman!,).

Yes and here I am to defend my beautiful, wise and gentle hero (now he's matured after finding his one true luurve), so watch it.

Yes, of course, but I have enough faith in myself as a nice person to think that I wouldn't t have treated a sibling badly enough to earn it! If I resented my siblings so much as,Ross resents Pete I would have nothing to do with them. Did Ros for a minute consider his parents or Finn before he basically took out a hit?

I just forgot Sam exists, it's easily done

Cain put Ross by the side of a quarry not caring whether if he lived or died, so I get the impression that he's not his biggest fan (which is a title which belongs to Al_Capo, Sorcha or Houndie )

We had a hugely frightening incident here. Some Nazi group had organised a pop concert for members in Falkirk, which is in the next county from here only ,,15 miles away. These people were coming from all over and there was nothing the police or council could do. People were protesting to their MSPs about it, but luckily the thing got cancelled before they could act because so many of the members were banned from entering the country Awful to think that it came so close!

Ach, that was a mere nothingHe didn't t push hinm in. I would have, especially after he was going on to Victoria about how ' everyone thought he wasthe bad one anyway'P%%% off Dross, that's s your own fault

But he didn't leave him for dead, he thought he WAS dead. There is a difference.

Leaving someone for dead is what Chrissie did to her sister.

Bloody hell. They must have been bad

It's the newspapers that get me. Bloody Daily Mail ect., they are just spreading pure hate against anyone who disagrees with them. Some of their headlines read like something out of 1930s Germany or Italy , and no, I'm not saying we're getting that bad, or that it ever will. It's still making me really angry though


I'm pretty sue leaving someone for dead is when you don't know whether they are alive or dead. Leaving a person injured but alive is leaving them dying. Or leaving them for dead is both.

I'm pretty sure both are pretty inexcusable, mind

More arguments about Ross' morals.... I dont care

He's great as he is, being an evil bastard IMO.

How do we know what went on behind the scenes? I read somewhere that Ryan Thomas and Tina O'brian would have huge fights that interrupted the filming of scenes on Corrie. Could you tell from those scenes back then that those two were fighting IRL?



When they show his softer side, being protective of Finn or his scenes with April show Ross has a caring side.


That might be part of the reason but I really believe that people voted for him based on hate and racism plain and simple. When you live the big cities in America and drive through some of these rural areas its like stepping back in time 50 years. People in those areas have not progressed like the rest of the country and Trump's message of hate spoke to them and turned them out in record numbers.


Yeah she did win the popular vote, I read an article that there are a few states that want to do away with the electoral college.

As for trump I assume it means the same thing it means here to beat someone at something

I don't understand American politics, what's the difference between the popular vote and the actual vote? Because isn't an election a glorified popularity contest anyway.

I think your system is good for weeding through all the candidates but once you get down to the final count it should just be one man one vote.

No, it doesn mean to win, but to trump also means to fart!

1. Don't you need a licence to operate that type of equipment? I doubt Ross would be qualified or no how to operate that type of machinery.

2. Because Ross wants someone to be angry at

3.those are details Ross isn't bothered with

4. Yeah, she didn't deserve that

6. Is it just me or is Diane (can't think of her real name) not the best actress?

8. He must be on Andy's workout plan

12. Not sure, didn't Lachlan shoot the vase first

13. Wendy needs to die

16. Lisa should not be on your death list. She is a good protective mom and the Dingle Matriarch

17. I think its time the Sharmas go

Aww I've missed your ways to kill characters, I'm glad you've brought it back and are focusing on Joanie

The popular vote is the actual vote by the people. The Electoral Vote is what actually decides the presidency. Each state is asssigned a certain number of electoral votes based on their population size, so states like California, New York adn Ohio have more electora votes than the smaller states like Iowa, Maine or New Hamshire and a candidate needs 270 electoral votes to become the president. The way it works is the which ever candiate has more votes in a state wins all of the electoral votes of that state (except for two states that split their electoral vote).


LOL I did not know that

1) Working in a garage he probably has that licence to drive the Tow Truck

13 Agreed

16) Lisa is currently off my death list but she is being watched.
17 Priya can stay as long as she bins rakesh

1. Oh yeah that is a good point

16. Lisa should have never been on your list

17. Pryia can stay I guess, the rest of them are uselsss

No, not popular in that sense - it means the vote of the populace. It's a proportional representation thing.
