Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.
Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Every man is like the company he keeps.

Nigel's choices of company to keep show a very clear (and heavily denied) pattern. Methinks he doth protest too much.
And, of course, if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it IS a duck.
Take a look.

Here's that US politician giving an honest character reference to Nigel Farage.
Time for UK journalists and politicians to step up too.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.
The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.
Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

This is an image of British Commandos on a approaching Sword Beach on D-Day, 6th June 1944.
War is a horrific thing; these men left their loved ones to enter its hellish cauldron. Some never returned. We remember their immense bravery and sacrifices so that they should never be necessary again.

Could someone (a journalist, perhaps?) ask Nigel Farage how he feels about sharing a platform with people who give Nazi salutes?

80 years ago Auschwitz was liberated. More than one million children, women and men were murdered there as part of the Holocaust. A dark lesson of history; humanity owes it to each of the victims to ensure it will never happen again. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Just the other day I thought the thumbs up from everyone in all the photos was the new Nazi salute. I guess I was wrong. The new Nazi salute is the actual Nazi salute.
