IMO, it's not so much governments ''hacking'' elections as financial institutions.
I read the other day that UK bricks and mortar retailers are really struggling from sky high rents and over competition - And the only thing that can give is the landlords taking a hit on rent. Same thing gonna happen here??

I think you'll find that was Petula Clark. Lulu was more famous for songs such as Try to Understand, Let's Pretend, Here Comes the Night, Boom Bang-A Bang and... The Man With the Golden Gun.Lucky Lucan wrote:Who is Lulu? Besides the 1960's singer of awesome songs like "Downtown".McPhisto wrote:I bet Lulu is out within one year.
