Yes, fatigue.
Other journalistic sources put it a bit differently…
Taking time to save his marriage.
But yes, it concerns an SGP person and then we slightly adjust our use of words.
I commend Mr Dijkgraaf who in this regard approaches the world with an open mind and who does not mince his words. Show guts and that certainly for an SGP member.
You can no longer respond.
