'Back in the garage with my bullshit detector...'
More from Mulcaster's pathetic attempt to hijack #riotcleanup. One young man speaks truth to power:
-
'I can't think of a better way to spend the night...'
Check out these sexy Sikh badmans you know. Do you think they propose to tolerate any riotousness in their ends? I think not. Why should they? They don't have to. You don't have to tolerate riotousness if you are Sikh.
