Courage and clarity from Rev Budde. That's strength right there.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

There's a really good point concealed under media nonsense regarding the attitude to work vs physiological need, how breaks are really very important for safety critical work, and how boasting about not having lunch makes you a dangerous moron.
Honestly, you spend most of the day offline and suddenly everybody has an opinion about *lunch*, and the Prime Minister gets involved.
What is going on with British politics?
