Just never been able to get my head around how a group of people obsessed with peadophile rings would all pin their hopes on a man who reeks of sexual predation. Makes me think I just don't understand people at all.

Look, your billionaires are screwing with our politics, flooding dark money into our elections and referendums. It's only fair that our oligarchic media returns the favour.

When even the cats want to vote dog, then it is not looking good for the electoral fortunes of humans.

👆👆👆 See, the dogs already have a constituency of voters. This is exactly what I feared. David, you are proposing nothing less than the first step of our descent into eventual rule by dogs.

Sounds like a slippery slope to me. Once dogs are allowed in the polling station, how long before they are running for office?
