Trainline

» [Trainline website] this website is like slow death from Chernobyl radiation, like man who was forced to clean up rubble resulting from wider damage and found out 15 years later than his colon cancer was because of Soviet error, right as the Union was falling and there was no one to blame.

Criminalizing good satire is antisemitism. «

Rest article talk about ‘I want to be British’ and ‘White devil’. Too controversy for public eyes.
