Why do people post on politics in foreign countries they know nothing about? That guy knows about as much about Britain as I do about New Zealand.

I've seen quite a few Britons say similarly idiotic things about America. What bothers me is that, considering all the problems the Democrats have had, they'd be more understanding of the problems Labour is facing. As for not knowing about Britain.

This is the news God, I wish it wasn't.

Ex-Superman actor Dean Cain has announced he is planning to join the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, known as ICE.

In an interview on Wednesday, Cain, who is already a sworn law enforcement officer, said, "I will be sworn in as an ICE agent asap".

It comes after he released a video encouraging members of the public to join following a recruitment drive by the agency, which is behind the Trump administration's ramped-up deportation scheme.

Cain played the role of Superman between 1993 and 1997 in the TV series, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

He has gone on to star in a number of other films and TV shows, and has also directed.

In late July, ICE announced it was aiming to recruit an additional 10,000 new personnel, doubling the agency's headcount as it ramps up deportations across the country.

It is specifically hoping to recruit deportation officers, along with attorneys, criminal investigators, student visa adjudicators and other roles.

Speaking on Fox News on Wednesday, Cain said: "I put out a recruitment video yesterday - I'm actually a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer - I wasn't part of ICE, but once I put that out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy".

"So now I've spoken with some officials over at ICE, and I will be sworn in as an ICE agent asap."

Interesting to note that over the years the Superman franchise has kept up a pretty good tradition of slotting players in earlier films and series into the current one, usually in jokey cameos.

They've never had Cain back.

Indeed, a glance at his IMDB profile shows a career made mostly of shit for the religious right.

At the moment Trump is able to chalk ICE up has a success because they are deporting large numbers of immigrants but how will the policy pan out in the long term? All the countries that border the US are basically forced to take in the deported immigrants because if they don't Trump will hit them with high tariffs but eventually these deportations will reach a tipping point in many countries. What are all these immigrants going to do when they return to their own country's? Will they just take it on the chin and settled down or are they likely to try and get back across the border. There is bound to be a negative impact on law and order in these countries leading to political instability.

Option 3 - wait for them to die and bury their bodies in the swamp.

We have to get past this "Trump is screwed if he plays by the rules at any point" thinking. Not specifically you, Satnav. All of us.
