Here's why Britain is in the mess it's in today. And Farage is the lynch pin.
And what is the Government doing about it? Nothing.

"These estimates suggest that by 2025 Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time."
New NBER report is quietly devastating about the impact of Brexit on the UK economy.
We need to cut away the drag anchor of Brexit.
We need to rejoin the EU!

British journalist Isabel Oakeshott is infamous for speaking out against migrants, refugees &asylum seekers online. When it comes to the Great British Debate, this is something she can only do online at the moment, because she’s a migrant herself (specifically to Dubai)

👏 Today marks 75 years since the creation of the ECHR.
We should celebrate the vision that Winston Churchill showed in recognising everyone’s human rights.
But there are now calls for the UK to leave ECHR.
As with Brexit, leaving would strip all of us of fundamental rights.

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians
The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

I put off doing the inevitable…I called my insurance provider.
My current premium is $480. It will be almost $900 next year.
