Excellent article.

I find it hard to understand how anyone can give their support to such an unscrupulous politician. I know it happens, and that even people who I consider normal,caring people support him. I just wonder how they cope with the considerable guilt they must feel having allowed this incompetent monster anywhere near the levers of power in this country.
When he moves I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
Intent and direct when he speaks, I watch his lips
