Oh! And can I ask for the freedom of the British girl imprisoned in Egypt? Apparently the family has already paid £10K into the system.

And the end of conflicts in Africa, Middle East and South America. Hopefully that might help with the flux of migration and the developing of anti-immigration sentiment from indigenous populations.

Could I also ask to stop psychological Russian warfare interference into Western political affairs?

Is it enough to 'allow' women to drive in Saudi Arabia? Or am I now being the one interfering?

Should the laws of self-determination re-written? Or is that a step too far? Is the situation the same in Catalonian, Tibet, East Ukraine, Scotland, Euskadi or even Gibraltar?

What about stop throwing money into pursuing Brexit and use it towards a better managed NHS, better funded police & Education based on equal opportunity rather than eugenics?

Yes, let's hope it's the year that Donald Trump stands down;

Or Impeachment? Would it be fair if most people want him as president? Maybe we need to tweak democracy a bit. Like Is it fair that age groups due to baby boomers children have an advantage in elections? Every vote the same? Dhond't law?

Is it Communism both what he employs and the reason the regime is a threat?

Here we go again.

If your master chooses not to buy into my loyalty scheme, it isn't me penalising. It is either your master, or yourself for requesting exactly that.

Note: after Withdrawal Bill legislation I'm using the word 'master' deliberately.

Kudos to Aung Suu Kyi for working towards what she believes in and still make it alive. But can I ask, why were the Rohingya not recognise as one of the >100 ethnicities in her country and given citizenship like everyone else? Honest question.

Yes, let's hope it's the year that Donald Trump stands down; that Kim Jong-un realises communism isn't such a great gig after all (and gets a new haircut); that Jean-Claude Junker and Donald Tusk finally see that it doesn't help anyone if they penalise a population because it doesn't buy the idea of being part of their socialist federal dream; that the Palestinians and the Israelis agree to let bygones be bygones, that Aung San Suu Kyi stands up for the Rohingya; that ISIS is exterminated and the Syrian people go home, and that global warming finally leads to palm trees in my garden this summer (but not mosquitoes).
