Not sure about the student vocal though - sounds a bit mature, if you ask me 😉 2025-06-18T06:50:42Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsxpaxztewlek9h0gvxsu45anqjpa9v9g5c4lhlppd79mu0rhcl2wgzyrhxjy58grfa07lp53tgvynjdqh3528lvhhfcaqmfychy46k7da7xsav9qp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp6xd0x3a0fp4gh7k00fgkpyzf6ptgfxhc7wkact49cmjf7sch3eckjt7av'>nevent1q…t7av</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Problem is, as soon as anyone points out what Trumpty is, he gets all hurt and becomes extremely vindictive and vengeful - and he has the means to cause enormous damage - so it’s understandable why he’s treated with kid gloves. Probably better to exclude him wherever possible - which won’t be easy, at least initially. He’s a tough nut to crack. 2025-06-18T06:17:14Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrkajrgh54w8cml4cdtd3kurl5duhk7n8amt3trsqzywwy0ewps6qzyrhxjy58grfa07lp53tgvynjdqh3528lvhhfcaqmfychy46k7da7xzee8kv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq2msfpgnmz2z3ju3gtuchujdskxn73ajx66gkr96lghgl6yle7gqd7pgm0'>nevent1q…pgm0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It’d be nice to have a government that actually governed, wouldn’t it? 2025-06-17T06:21:49Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfm66s9872stmay5tlcs5fgpwygnumu6nesdnw20pyrd7xjrfp7zgzyrhxjy58grfa07lp53tgvynjdqh3528lvhhfcaqmfychy46k7da7x2rhta5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszn6re8a02u88u536gdumc9wf0px9rly57pe2yru4efdadr0pucecvh9qaf'>nevent1q…9qaf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Further confirmation, as if any were needed, that Trump is a #moron and a dangerous one at that. 2025-06-13T18:20:10Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyxgr7glg969hp3nlapxqwdq7ywyra3xayye5f2wcwph242hcyafgzyrhxjy58grfa07lp53tgvynjdqh3528lvhhfcaqmfychy46k7da7xqm8hfh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs83x87wjyt9rhsjfg5mfxw687v63w4wftzrkt0dpl095rna0eqjec9rwzld'>nevent1q…wzld</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The referenda - there were 4 topics - was extremely poorly publicised - hence the failure to reach a quorum.
