Surprise, surprise. Yusuf talking nonsense. Here's the graph with pensions stripped out. The complete opposite of what he claims.

Take a look at The Telegraph's view on Trump. Every single 'columnist' (I use the term loosely) utterly wrong and totally disproven. Never read again.

So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu.

Winston Howes lost his wife. He planted thousands of oak trees in a six-acre field
Once it was completed he put a seat in the field, overlooking the hill near where she used to live. He didn't tell anyone
