I don't post very often, I'm not very confident. But having seen Farages defence of his bullying tactics when he was at school. He didn't mean it. He didn't mean to hurt anyone. Bullshit. I was subject to horrendous verbal attacks at school and I still live with it and have flashbacks. Believe

I will remind people, every single Billionaire in the UK gets an average of £320,000,000 of benefits a year, mostly in tax they allowed to avoid.

How is York coping without a Duke and Duchess? Will people in York be ok? Are the jobs advertised locally or will they go again to outsiders?

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social and you need to cover the Greens as much if not more than the fascist Reform party.
