An Honest Policeman And Not so Honest Politiciansca


(5 stars)

I was not too sure about listening to this but within a few minutes I was gripped. This Chief of police was outstanding and if only he was about today April 2024. When you can take the opportunity to listen, put your feet up and enjoy.
