Trump wants to end Birthright Citizenship for the children of illegal (undocumented) migrants in the USA. Is has decided to do this using an executive order, which from what many say, is not legal due to the constitution of the US.
What will be interesting is if this is allowed to happen. If Trump is able to change the constitution using an Executive Order, then the next US president will be able to change Gun Control laws doing the same thing.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out as I am not sure if those on the right realise the implications of this...
Nominated for many awards, after watching this film with my daughter, I will be surprised it if does not win anything. When it comes to looking at a film, a film should be judged on a few things, including how well it tells a story, as well as if that story is new. And I cannot remember many films which reflect how the UK was multicultural during the war.
I trained in Whitechapel and when there, I learned about its long history of immigration. At the time, the immigrant population was mainly Bengali, but earlier, it had been Jews and before that the Huguenots. Set in The East End, the film reflected that. Many have said that the film is too woke because of this, and it may be that the numbers of non-white faces are too many. But I have not seen this issue of the UK reflected in many films. In fact, I feel some of the reviews of the film forget to reflect how the film addresses this.
I would certainly recommend watching this, and I may watch it again.
I have been listening to the News Agents and some of what President Pee Pee (not that this matters anymore) has been saying, along with how many lies have been taken up by so many.
I know that in the build up to today, many people have tried to work out what Donald Trump is going to do, but one journalist summed it up best. The bottom line is that Trump will do what he thinks is best for him, and that will also depend on who spoke to him last about an issue, so long as he likes them.
Anyway, there is a lot of left wing anger about him including with this video...
I forgot to post about seeing my mother yesterday. My wife had a school reunion to attend in London, and also had to meet friends back in Colchester later in the day.
As we were to travel to London, we took the children with us. Sadly, due to roadworks, we were not able to spend as much time with her as I would have wanted and we were late to meet up for the reunion. It was good to meet the friends of my wife. I get on with the other husbands, and her friends as well.
Afterwards, we froze a bit on the way up. I did not get a chance to charge my car and we had to wait while the car charged. My son wanted to leave before it had a decent amount of charge, which meant that I could not use the heater, which meant we were very cold on the way up.
But it was good to see my Mum, and one of my cousins who was looking after her. It has been too long since I saw my cousin. It was interesting seeing my mother trying to rest by watching Trump on the TV, but her anger must have got her blood pressure into the normal range!
On getting back, I did get to watch the Arsenal match. But while I thought we were going to lose before the match, I was annoyed that we gave away a two goal lead.
When it comes to watching this, I have not watched the original, so cannot compare this film to it. Overall, I liked the film, but it had some glaring errors. One was the age of the character of the main character, Heather Miller who should have been close to 40 in age, but appeared to be in her 20's instead. There are some other issues, but I cannot really discuss them without giving away a lot of the plot. But despite these huge errors, I liked the film. However, I doubt that I will watch it again.
It was a disgrace. Arsenal drew this weekend and we should have won. While we lost a goal thanks to a penalty which should not have been given. To be fair, when I saw it in real time, I though that the decision was a penalty, but we have VAR for a reason and the decision should have gone our way.
I have given up on the idea of Arsenal winning the title, but I would like Arsenal to finish in second place if we do not win a trophy.
When it comes to the family, we took our Christmas decorations down today. My daughter and I also went for a dog walk today. She does not do this that often and considering that she will be leaving next month, I should treasure walks like this more.
I think that Jess Phillips is amazing. I love the way she communicates, I love her honesty and I love the way that she stands up against intimidation and injustice.
