I have o truck with Charles. He’s a waste of oxygen so far as I’m concerned. If he wasnn’t injured, good.

On the other hand the Brit kids sound as spoiled and misguided as ours. $14,000 a year for tuition is a bargain. They need to suck it up. sd

“I hope he is ok.”

To me he is like Al Gore.... I just don’t care for anything they do and I do not wish them any kind of progress other than eating cheese.

Given how long the UK has been industriously laboring toward its own demise, I have little sympathy. Actually, I have no sympathy.

They are attacking the Supreme Court right this moment.

They have defaced a Churchill statue, and has put the Christmas tree on Trafalgar Square on fire. The tree has been gifted every year since 1947 as gift from the people of Norway in gratitude for the British war efforts in the second world war...
