Let’s settle this, is Nigel Farage a racist?

Like if he is.
RT if he is a traitor.

Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle.

Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

I feel so powerless regarding Israel's atrocities against the Palestinians. We march, write letters, sign petitions and donate yet still our Govt arms and provides intelligence to Israel thereby supporting this slaughter. Be in no doubt. They are complicit. Why? I don't know. So I wrote this.

At our demonstration today, I'm holding a placard stating
"I support

My aim is to highlight the absurdity of the government dictating what can and cannot be said by peace-seeking people

For over ten weeks, Israeli forces have blocked food, water and medicine from entering Gaza.

With over two million facing famine and the Netanyahu Government planning to seize all of Gaza, will the PM back a joint plan to recognise Palestine and end this appalling blockade?
