Will need to focus on coaching Farage himself to be a little less effusive with his 'boom!'s and 'thank yous' when a US actor 'businessperson' clearly enunciates the illegal aspects of polls' funding and a proposed donation.

Just walked past Cambridge University's Senate House with a couple of signs on it - 'His blood on your hands'. It's certainly not the only responsible partybut the VC's immediate response, 'deeply saddened', seems deeply inadequate.

Forget the lie of ‘white genocide’ – the real crisis is a broken economy
SA’s crisis is not just a crisis of stagnation. For more than a decade, we’ve grown at an average of just 1% per year. That is a slow collapse.

I think the argument is that this is not performance but the expression of something essential, 'wired into' your DNA. If you have XY chromosomes (let's leave the complexities of DNA and hormones out of it), you emerge from the womb squalling for a tie bar and always-already clad like a lumberjack.

Horrible comparison! 😀 The alternative route is a slow build through responsible and effective local government - which has happened to some extent. I think some have decided there's no time...Polanski is maybe the result of that as much as its animator.
