A dreamer you say [emoji848]tends to skip over practicalities as well [emoji848]. Can’t see it ending well [emoji848]. 
How much is he worth ???. 

It's not about money, though I'm sure he'll make some from Twitter. [emoji848]

Maybe he will be able to make it work. [emoji848] His ideology is that the online ecosystem should be self regulating; the voice of the calm and rational majority of users will be enough to drown out and suppress the screeching from the vocal minority. [emoji848]
We'll see. It'll be an interesting experiment at least.

Here's one kicking off because they've been told to stop contributing to the childhood obesity crisis. I wonder if a large bung will end up in Rishi's suitcase in due course.

Scottish Tory leader under fire for saying trans women aren’t women

APPLE.NEWS

Douglas Ross says he ‘misspoke’ but stands by claim people ‘cannot change their sex’

What a messed up bloody world we are in right now. How can he be under fire for speaking the truth. The media and many politicians are so far out of touch with real people’s views it’s unbelievable.
