Katie Johnson's last interview back in 2016. Before the election. She warned the country! And she was silenced.
She was 13 when she meet Trump and had sex with him. Yes, this was the girl that Trump picked because she reminded him of his daughter, also 13 at that time. What a Creep. I believe Katie

Jail is too good for the monsters doing this to children
Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about.
What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars.
We're paying for the torture of children.
I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

Before then, and going back to the Iron Age, our indigenous peoples were Celtic Britons and, in Scotland, the Picts.
