A man so desperate to save his own political skin he’s completely unconcerned about throwing fuel onto the fire of racial hatred. Contemptible.

A reminder, again, that the current AG has written a whole report justifying not paying compensation to wronged people *on principle* as part of a broad push, arguing that any compensation payments to individuals wronged by the state are against the Public Interest.

The 2025 season of this Show has been pretty poor. In-fact seasons going back as far as 2016 have been a shit-show. But the next season is getting a complete revamp. New plot lines, a host of new actors & twists leading to a climax that nobody could expect. So farewell season 2025.
