There is NO end in SIGHT.
Factually – it is running at a “mean” of 44% – in Hungary- Appalling.
I’ sure our Politicians will be quick to blame the Liberal Elites, Brussels Bureaucrats, the Soros Lapdogs and the Ukrainians who don’t want to surrender their lands for peace! Pity most people take Facebook and echo-chamber chatter for fact and believe such nonsense.
