I haven't seen any yet but you could probably find a few contemporaries who didn't personally witness Farage being Farage at school. But there doesn't seem to be a single former pupil or teacher who find the descriptions of racism, anti-semitism & cruelty unfeasible. Shocked, I tell you...

Sen. Mark Kelly on MS NOW: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times … My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head, six people killed around her … We know what political violence is. And we know what causes it, too."

I’d have thought nothing cuts more against our precious British values than selling out your country for Russian bribes…
And yet Reform, the right‑wing press, and all those self‑styled guardians of these values have nothing to say
…funny that.

Fact: If Johnson had listened to Starmer for a 2 week circuit breaker instead of vilifying him along with the media,tens of thousand of lives would have been saved.
That’s the difference in leadership.
It’s not difficult to see.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering.
Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense.

Reform would ‘cut benefits for EU nationals and hike NHS immigration surcharge’

Drip, drip, drip. More and more good news and positivity coming into the public domain. So much of it for our young people and families. This really matters. And no other Party can achieve this because they don’t look after our young. They look after their donors.
