Been writing on Substack for a while now, and Pat is one of my favourite writers there. Always thought provoking, gentle words filled with wisdom.

Such a lovely surprise to get such a nice mention in his latest piece…

A sick, malign horror show.

Incredible that America found the very worst of humanity, a man without a shred of decency, empathy or moral fibre & made him their president.
