    Funnily enough, one of the few 'famous' people from that little village of Slaideburn in my last video was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_B._Sanderson (1825–1887), Wisconsin senator who became one of the largest sheep breeders in Texas

    I just dont trust them not to be cooking the books. Firstly they say so many GWs of installed renewable that can power X amount of homes, but thats the plate rating, that farm is running at 14% of its plate rating.

    I dont think he can fix a thing, but if he gets in at least we can say democracy kind of still works. Restore are just ludicrous, the stuff that comes up on my feed.
