Makes a change from being powerful people who just happened to be born here wanting to literally drown those less fortunate who arrive by boat

What the hell does Farage thinks he’s doing, going off to America *again* to maliciously slag off British teachers at some private Christian college, while offering to peddle their courses over here?
What a repulsive, grubby little traitor.

Really want to ask the numbskull that wrote that headline what kind of contradiction they saw between people providing a shit service and those people getting rich. Poor wee scone, what a baffling conundrum the world must be for them www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Even now, even after all these years of surreal horrors, I can't believe that this sad old rambling fool is the no-kidding real-life President of the actual USA. Please, someone get hold of his carer and put him in a taxi back to the home

"It looks like they’re pumping into a horse. You have a little child, a little fragile child, and you get a vat of eighty different vaccines, I guess. Eighty different blends, and they pump it in... So, ideally, a woman won't take Tylenol."
