The question now is has anything changed? It seems NOT, doesn’t it? Yep, NO […]
Many will be confused about the result of last week’s UK local elections, won’t they? Yep, you see ALL the main parties have claimed “success”, and the non-mentally challenged amongst us know quite well that that just can’t be right, can it?
