  • Kay 4 days ago

    NDC Govt just wants to use this case to divert the attention on the pressure on them. They are doing Fooko about this MP's incarceration in the Netherlands. They know the law and they are aware how difficult it's to free him.

    This guy is one of the politically oriented bigot of our time. His position is purely based on hatred for him because he joined the NDC caucus. If he had been NPP his views would have been different.
