No CommentsIt's come to my attention recently that, due to the apparently over-the-proverbial-puncturing-board nature of some of my articles (Charlie Kirk in particular), some individuals have taken to circulating some rather - shall we say - creative commentary relating to my supposed personal history, all with the aim of "proving" that I am some sort of […]
