Wtf is Britain drinking? We got FB Nazi surveillance,
Now in the middle of battle, scream TIME OUT for charging!!! Like kids playing pretend.
We need a battle field where electric charges are set up….. Brit’s wtf Maybe Farage can save their asses. Britain Australia New Zealand wtf are you all
Drinking, or shooting up? We will send Trudea and Newsome to guide you into net zero
