Although when talking about voting with some friends I notice a lot of people don’t fill out even half as much of the ballot as they ought too.

Gemma is definitely not alone in all this. Donald Trump seems to co with any old conspiracy theory that suits. The only one he didn't use was the moon landings were fake one because it does not suit him. While we think we are more 'mature' here than over there, think again! I was visited by some anti-renewable energy candidates in the run up to the local elections and their views were insane. And Gemma is even more extreme still in her CT inspired views. But as long as people of the mentality of we will vote for her because she is a wellknown media personality, then these types will not be going away unfortunately.

Theres more photos of that guy before the event than any other participant, bit weird if they didn't even know he was going to do 'the salute'

Meaning stripping "non ancestral" citizens of their citizenship. I wonder how far back through ancestry he wants to go. Hes a mad little fella. Like a Father Ted character.
