That stroke he had must have affected his eyesight. I was going to say that stroke he suffered a couple of years ago, but a quick check tells me it was actually January 2013. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think why the jumped-up right-wing Brexit-humping migrant-hating town crier and clear threat to Sir Quiche is getting so much exposure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
