    Love the subtle "Things Can Only Get Better" playing in the background! 😆

    One of my concerns is living in a crime riddled, over populated country, where no public services are fit for purpose.
  • It would be funny if all of a sudden he just stop and say "can someone get me a F-ING umbrella, now like i was saying"😂😂😂
  • Here could be one of the reason President Obama visited Downing Street. Also, July 4th is Obama's birthday.!?

    Is he for real? Bye Bye Rishi. Why is he giving us a lecture on world politics. He quotes: His Majesty, Covid, Putin, Germany, France, USA, China, Islamic uncertainity, world politics. How is he placed in that sphere? His ambitious wife is driving him not the people or nation's needs🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😋 economic stability - your jobs, your economy, your bank balance, your housing, your family and your country. What did he not say "our" instead of "your".
  • Political instability.....Economic instability....He had little choice...Look as though he has run his course...I predict his party will be thrashed
  • Huh. Cool. Well, I'll be too busy that day celebrating America's freedom from the UK to notice. Cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
