Trump’s struggle not to tie himself in nots - July 2018 The Observer - By Stewart Lee - July 22nd, 2018

I spent the weekend at the Latitude festival in Suffolk with my children, Nelson and Mandela. Like a good metropolitan liberal elitist, I had all my tastes and prejudices confirmed, and all in a safe family-friendly environment.
