So be careful what you wish for....................
I just wish for politicians to be in touch.
We also need far more veterans in Parliament. I love the work Johnny Mercer is doing. I also fully support Ben Goodwin's endeavours, even though I disagree with him on almost everything. We need more veterans on those benches.
