Blogging from Gota-go-gama.
Why doesn’t President Nandasena understand mass public sentiment?
How can a person not only continue holding a high office but live in a Country when he is being openly called ‘pissa’, hora’ etc.
This person is hameless.
The nation rejects the 17 bottom-lickers who have been appointed to ‘Cabinet’.
Go home Gota.
