Mr Greenwich If you kick a dog often enough it growls. Latham has railed against the abusive aggressive antics of you alphabet people. It's OK for people like you to payout on those who find your behaviour disgusting but your kind are responsible for killing 3 young children and 3 teachers in Nashville USA. Latham has a lot of supporters out here and though his social media post was inappropriate, I feel it was your kind who has no place in parliament and need help with your abnormal situation. We have all seen the disgusting attack on women's rights both here and in NZ and there is no way in the world I would vote for people like you in a fit. I am not homophobic, one of my family is gay but he doesn't carry on like the likes of you. You get help, you're the one who is abnormal.
