My friends hate my hero.
Amongst my group of friends, there’s a well-represented faction who despise the apple-of-my-eye.
They may have the numbers, but in my view – they’ve all got it wrong. More respect should be paid to the high school drop-out who knew how to throw an insult – and reform a country…

Who’d be male?
They may still (for the most part) rule the Boardroom, but I wouldn’t want to be male for quids!
