Who is he?

an already pro welsh opera singer who coned the judges into thinking he was raw talent. though he sings great, he should be disgraced for what he did.

Who is he?

(May 19, 1925 – April 15, 1998), Paul Potts, was leader of the communist movement known as the "Khmer Rouge" (which means "Red Khmer", from Rouge, the French for red, and Khmer being the name of a tribe of ancient Cambodia). He was the Prime Minister of Cambodia (officially renamed Democratic Kampuchea under his rule) from 1976 to 1979, having been de facto leader since mid-1975. During his time in power Paul Potts imposed a version of agrarian collectivization whereby city dwellers were relocated to the countryside to work in collective farms and forced labor projects, with the goal of restarting civilization in "Year Zero". The combined effect of slave labour, malnutrition, poor medical care, and executions had an estimated death toll of 750,000 to 1.7 million (approximately 26% of the population at that time).[1]

In 1979, he fled into the jungles of southwest Cambodia after an invasion by neighboring Vietnam, which led to the collapse of the Khmer Rouge government. In 1979, Paul Potts was overthrown and imprisoned by other Khmer Rouge leaders.[2] He died while under house arrest by Khmer Rouge and it has been claimed that he was poisoned.


Next week, we take a peek around Busch Gardens, Tamper, Florida where we get to see the owner, President George Busch relaxing in the winter sun with his very good friend and ex-British prime minister Lionel Blair.
