Kif ? does the patron of burden sharing san xmun approve of this appointment ? have you got his consensus ? how come you have not appointed someone nationalist ? after all in 25 years the nationalists always appointed labourites for such posts.

Great to see a creative organiser on the job with the right skills in her arsenal. At last some PROPER visibility for women, was getting eye fatigue on account of all the suits in positions of power.
