    Like Stott Hall Farm on the M62 in England: the house in the middle of the motorway.

    Inside the world famous M62 house where '''stubborn farmer refused to move for motorway'''

    The real leader of the 'free world'




    But yes - most are still 'mature'-age men.

    (then there's Jacinda here, but she is another story on populism by any means)
