i am interested that some people still seem to see politiians like Farage and Trump as joke figures
in fact they are terrifying
this is what people first did with Hitler, but not after the holocaust and sixty million dead from world war
perhaps we should remember this

know that i rabbit on, but i can't get over the kindness, respect, and equality with which you are treated by workers in the NHS.
maybe quicker if you can afford the private sector - as they've starved the NHS, but equal and warm, no
its the cash thats the bottom line there

how interesting that the squalid hate maker Farage is linked with the Epstein horrors.
he is a human who seems without love or kindness - Farage - and doubtless Epstein too
preying on our difficulties - to make them worse and profit from them
