I wonder if the generals and admirals who did such an amazing job in Venezuela, whether or not you think it was the right thing to do, be so keen to comply with an order to invade Greenland?

“We are locked, loaded and ready…..” says the fat oaf desperate for a Nobel Peace Prize. It’s surreal.

Just finished Lownie’s book ‘Entitled’. Strange to think that such a long story of Andrew and Ferguson’s staggering avarice, greed, incompetence, childishness, corruption and entitled insouciance can become boring. He should have been sussed well before Epstein. The late queen comes out badly too.
