‘Sooty, Sweep & Robby’ is my 4 year old granddaughter’s favourite programme.

Britain - where pompous superficial displays and hollow phrases are used to mask actions that do everything but uphold the dignity, respect and moral virtues they claim to champion.

We live in a country where cheap imported flags are held in higher regard than the lives of minorities.

Shame.

‘“Faragism” is neoliberalism at its most inhumane, more destructive even than [Thatcher’s] monetarism, and vindictive far beyond austerity.’

Reform’s Yusuf says Starmer is “inciting violence” and “demonising” Farage with his comments and will be responsible if anything happens? So who is responsible for all the hate following Farage calling Muslims a “fifth column”, BLM “The Taliban”.? Chinese “c****y” & referring to the “Jewish lobby”?

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year.

The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement.
