I’m sick of being treated like an idiot by an insane government. not my president is as selfish as a living human can be.
Oh, yes. I’m finding it very difficult to keep hope in my heart.
I like the sound of this project, and I enjoyed reading that Norris was made aware of that ‘bubble’ that people like him had been living in. Moving from London to Norfolk made me all-too aware of that bubble. We need to travel more inside our own country, not just to a gite in Provence, or to a vineyard in Tuscany.
A nation lost touch with itself, and that was the outcome.
Best wishes, Pete. x
