Here is one of the biggest conundrums in the history of politics. The conundrum is where has the hero of the underdog gone to? The man who has surpassed the scarlet pimpernels ability to disappear at the drop of a hat. The man in question is Ming Flanagan. Ming was a regular on the T.V. and radio etc fighting the
cause for his people before he went to Brussels. I’m sure that he is still doing that. It’s just I’m puzzled by his scarcity. CONFIRMATION
