Farage wants UK ICE. Shouldn't we just be saying this over and over? Anyone voting for ReformUK will be voting for the introduction of a UK SS, armed to the teeth and ready to terrorise.

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?
