Pro-EU, detest the con-trick of Brexit. UK must rejoin the EU urgently. Release the un-redacted Russia report. Kick Putin out of all Ukraine including Crimea. Living a dream in the South of France. Trump is making the USA an enemy of the entire world.

Would help if Labour didn't keep screaming
"Farage has a point lads!"
As loud as they can.
e.g. I last heard Starmer delivering an hour long racist rally of a speech last week. Not when he was at school.

It is slightly irritating that the Guardian uncritically reports his claim that taxpayers are spending "an ever increasing proportion of our national income on out-of-work benefits” without pointing out that it is, in fact, false.

Trump shows up over a million times in the unredacted Epstein files. And that's the half they released. Imagine what's in the half they didn't release.
That means that the DOJ redacted Trump's name about 950K times in the 3M documents they released. www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

Half a billion people— the whole of the EU’s citizenry— owe their right not to be casually surveilled en masse by their governments to Karlin’s reporting on Data Retention.
We literally cited it to the court in the DRI data retention case.
