Bizarrely, Trump’s latest attacks now include the National Zoo, but his real and racist agenda is to strip everything black from the country’s cultural institutions, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
ONE of the trials of being a candidate in an election is not being able to see how the various messages of each political party are playing in the media, only seeing how they are impacting on the doorstep and often having to respond to events which the poor candidate hasn’t seen.
However, one of the more ironic features of the campaign so far has been Boris Johnson trying to whip up hysteria at the prospect of, in his words, “a Corbyn/Sturgeon deal,” with the public being asked to believe that.
How can two level-headed politicians be such a threat to the voters that the prospect of a Prime Minister who behaves as a man-child is the safer option? Any rational elector will realise this is just plain nonsense.
