@radiobrendan Wow! How the lot for some Colombians is improving considerably. For one, the country’s new hero, James Rodríguez, has ensured Real Madrid will have about 40 million new followers thanks to his big money move to the Spanish giants. OK, footballers operate in a completely different galaxy to us mere mortals. Thus that things […]

@radiobrendan For some, he’s seen as the moral standard-bearer of Colombia; the man ensuring the country stays on the right path. For others, he’s a dangerous, out of touch, official whose opinions and decisions hinder the country’s painstaking development....
