Farage says too many GPs are diagnosing autism and ADHD over Zoom with minimal evaluation when in fact NO GP EVER DOES THIS AT ALL BECAUSE THAT'S NOT HOW AUTISM OR ADHD ARE ASSESSED

Brazenly spreading misinformation just to whip up hate toward the vulnerable
Farage sparks furious backlash over children’s mental health jibe
The Reform UK leader claimed GPs are over diagnosing adults with mental health problems and children with special educational needs

I’ve been accused of being a conspiracy theorist because I insist that the BBC had everything to do with the rise of Farage & his Reform party.
This chart just focussing on BBC Question Time (2010-2020) shows there was bias towards the platforming of anti-EU MEPS especially Farage.
I rest my case.
