โ€œPart of me wants to kind of clear America like an overgrown field that needs the stubble burning and start again,โ€ he explained. โ€œJust keep all the nice Americans somewhere while we do it. I think thereโ€™ll be a lot less oxygen being used, a lot less greenhouse gasses.โ€

A โ€˜political circusโ€™ will be held by Instigate Debate on April 26 at Londonโ€˜s Union Chapel. It will feature a debate between cultural figures and all of the main political parties along with a series of musical performances.
