It’s pretty much as bad as in 1978. This song was released then and the relevance to today is depressing.

You will indeed Michael. We are looking forward to it.

I don’t think reading is a major pastime of those frequenting Mar-a-lago.

I’ve met Jim, years ago when he was setting up CEOP and we were assisting with their ability to trace payments. He’s a good bloke and absolutely committed to the task of wiping out child abuse. He also doesn’t take any prisoners.
He’d have been excellent as chair of the enquiry.
