Crusty traveller, narrowboat dwelling old lady who makes some passable original wall plaque artwork. Never left the 1970s head or heart. I'm not wise, or gifted or talented, neither have I achieved anything the mainstream values. That suits me just fine.

The American flag is a symbol for Brazil's far-right.

As Trump tears apart the US, experts worry that other countries may dismantle themselves too.
