What a dirty scumbag country we live in, why bother voting for more of the same……We are all at risk of being victims of this lawless nation….
Hope they all get their photo’s in the paper so we know what to look out for?
The vote was won by such bravery and perseverance from persecution and pain.
It’s a shame that it causes our young people( and everyone else) to question what the hell to do with that right nowadays because there’s really very little to be proud of in this country. Its desperately sad
