Capitalist This morning I was reading a thoughtful essay on The BFD by Matt Judd where he covered quite a lot of ground regarding the changes of the last couple of years. He mentions enemies within, plans to subjugate the entire population and various other sick, demented things that are
Lauren Southern was right: once again, the Boomers have ruined everything. As analysis of voting trends shows, the only demographic who voted for Emmanuel Macron over Marine Le Pen were les codgers, the over-60s and 70s. Thanks, grandpere et grandmere. But, if Le Pen has lost the presidency, she’
