A little under 12 months ago a fat, self proclaimed gypsy king beat the world robot boxing champion. Since then a ginger haired 44 year old englishman has lived in space for 185 days, Leicester won the premier league, Britain did better in the olympics than china/russia, Germany/Europe dismantled borders to let in as many migrants as were able to come, then changed their mind a bit once they realised that there were really rather a lot. Britain voted out of the EU & Now a man that very few people like (including many who voted for him) that really isn't even a politician is in charge of one of the most powerful countries in the world.
