Your guess is?

Abused kids from broken homes with serious behavioural and/or personality
disorders because of it.

Fair enough. Glad to hear he is in good spirits. That helps the
healing process.

Though if all the rabid heterosexuals stopped having gay kids then the
problem they're so overly concerned about would go away!

and refuse to loan part of their Head of Service when the Deputy Mayor
for Policing decides it is acceptable to let two experienced civil
servants leave at zero notice leaving the Mayor's Office for Policing
bereft of experience and knowledge. I hadn't appreciated incompetence
was an essential qualification for public office with this Mayor.

Yes, he does seem to be repeating the personnel recruitment mistakes
from the first term. I wasn't surprised last time, given his lack of
experience of running any previous medium or large organisation, but
did expect better four years later.

The average is 2.2 per couple, bright and cheerful, or not. My spouse
and I were gay enough to produce four. There is nothing unatural
about being bright and cheerful whatever the liberals tell you.

Bleeeeeeeh!
