That was a pretty lengthy interview I watched last night.
We donāt always suck.
About time. I expect some arsehole from the Tories to tell us itās scaremongering or some other shit.
I live in a small town in Eastern Poland, and today local funeral house was unloading ridiculously large shipment of coffins. It really creeped people out.
