Finally!!! Really something to celebrate that the UK has turned away from Trumpism and the glorification of the unkempt, boorish, and undignified party boy. Trump and Bolsinaro are next to go. Our hurting world and hurting environment can no longer afford this dysfunctional leadership! Time for the adults to take over!
