Let's stop eating our own [View all]

Last edited Sat Feb 2, 2019, 10:38 AM - Edit history (1)

I saw this comment in the comment section of Joemygod and it struck a cord - it is not too excuse the Governors behaviour in the 80's which were really offensive and wankerish - but what does his record say now on the things that matter - is he an ally or not? Surely, that should be the question we need to ask?

EDIT - ADDED LINK ABOUT THIS SUBJECT

On the same site I saw the above comment a new link has been posted :
