This ladies and gentlemen is the real politics or resentment. A bunch of ungrateful, low achieving ‘journalists’ mad at a young millionaire (who is objectively one of the best at his job) for using his platform to help other peoples children...
Ok, so let’s address this. I’m 23. I came from little. I need to protect not just my future but my family’s too. To do that I made a decision at the beg of 2020 to start investing more in property. Please don’t run stories like this alongside refs to ‘campaigning’.
