Trump has just awarded himself more medals and decorations then Patton and MacArthur put together. Quite impressive for a man who used his father‘s financial influence over a chiropodist in debt, to get four fabricated diagnoses to dodge the draft for Vietnam.
The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.
