Widely accused of disgracing America’s standing in the civilised world, can impeachment prevent further civil and political outrage by Donald Trump, described by his niece Mary Trump as ‘the world’s most dangerous man’?
Most will be glad to say farewell to 2020, surely not least those in government who wasted three days before taking action to enable traffic to flow from Dover, a delay which has put some SMEs in serious jeopardy. Coronavirus can only be partly to blame for any job losses!
