Comms guy trying to make an impact. A smattering of unqualified opinions on sport, politics and anything else that tickles my fancy. RT not an endorsement etc
They really let a UFC fighter call our only Black First Lady a man on the White House lawn at an official White House event … while thousands cheered and the biggest podcaster in the world smiled.
There is no economic policy fix for this. Many of these people are just racist.
Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums. Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?
Ex England Captain John Terry appears to have endorsed Restore UK.
