I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Farage is who he is, not the patriotic politician that he always pretends to be.
Maya Angelou so wisely said, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time".
Britain must confront the issue of why 'ordinary' people want his divisive, hateful, racist xenophobic lies to succeed.

When I hear Farage talking about rounding up and deporting hundreds of thousands of human beings, and threatening those with leave to remain or settled status, I cannot help but think of the schoolboy sidling up to me and telling me that “Hitler was right”

This is classic. As an ex-teacher, the line that bullies always came out with was “I didn’t mean to hurt him, I was just having some fun”.

In fact, I'd be interested to see the graded A Level English Language certificates of every single Cabinet member, including Shabana Mahmood and Sir Keir Starmer...
New immigration rules demand people speak English to A level standard. There's no oral element to A Level English exams (nor GCSE), so how is this to be tested, & by whom?
I teach English in state secondary school. Most of my colleagues aren't A Level standard, so I doubt border guards will be...
