This ‘fire-spitting’ pastor came to Glasgow on Saturday(August 18, 2018) to discuss ideas with Scotland-based Nigerians(see attached posters)…
Prime Minister Theresa May on Sunday called on her party to unite behind her plan to leave the European Union, making a direct appeal to critics by saying their desire for a free trade deal was at the heart of her own Brexit proposals.
