A refugee from the 'other place' whose owner's values I could no longer support. Relieved that the Tories are GONE! Peace and prosperity comes from collaboration with EU partners.

Canadian and Australian right wing leaders both lose their seats within weeks. Meanwhile UK Labour thinks going to the right is the way to win, even though the right reject them and the left are alienated by them. Read the f*ing room. More importantly, feel the threat from progressive voters.
