So, that’s what it’s like in the Asylum

With absolutely no intention to implicate, impune or otherwise downplay the seriousness of real mental and psychological problems ……

But, have the nutters totally taken over? There is insanity everywhere!

The Tory party leader, and Prime Minister, has stated that Scotland leaving the Union would be detaching themselves from their biggest market / trading partner / closest ally.

After a conflict with their manifesto, the change in NI contributions has been withdrawn, ‘because we listen to our colleagues, and the people’.

Now, all we need is some more bright lights shining into the asylum!
