Hard to believe isn't it, that this lunatic is the President of the United States of America.
Are voters in America really so thick they can't see through this bullshit?
COLLINS: Minnesota officials say the FBI isn't sharing evidence with them. Do you believe the FBI should do that?

TRUMP: Well normally I would, but they're crooked officials. Minneapolis and Minnesota are being destroyed. I feel that I won Minnesota all three times. I won Minnesota three times.

Two things close to my heart ,
Modernist architecture, and the British public house .
The Prospect Inn ,Minster ,Kent .
Designed by Oliver Hill opening 1938 . Right opposite RAF Manston . I only ever saw this derelict and covered in ivy in the 1990s. Here it is , in its original splendour in 1938

From the Architects Journal Nov 1938 , a plea for assistance for German and Austrian citizens fleeing the Nazi dictatorship .
The British government was prepared to grant visas as long as their keep was guaranteed whilst the emigration process ran it's course .

Aggro cover for Action comic 1976 by Carlos Ezquerra .
The comic was withdrawn, and then watered down, because of its supposed violent content after a press campaign led by Mary Whitehouse .
