Baroness Mohan just complained about an “establishment cover up”after a court judgement against her.
She really hasn’t a clue. How on earth do self entitled people like her get anywhere near being in Government? Good advert for abolishing the unelected House of Lords in its present form though

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

The evidence for this is overwhelming. The founder of UKIP, Alan Sked, quit the party because of Farage's racism.
