in reply to Acta Populi • • •Like good little pups, when the nomad leader (UK) barks at a passing by car they all start barking the same direction ... and chase the tires.
Seriously, when was the last time you saw Aus. take an independent direction from the UK on anything?
But that's not the people, that's the oligarchy the banking/media system has installed and the propaganda is mind your own work, leave politics to that other "cast" that runs government.
