“Je suis Bernard Manning,” claims Nigel Farage. And so he is. But not quite in the way he meant. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/uki...
Farage’s attack on the BBC tells us who he really is
His response to allegations of racist behaviour reveals more than we could have guessed—and why the Beeb needs to protect itself

Since Zack became high profile in the Green Party and then won the leadership vote it’s been lovely to have that feeling of hope again. We knew we needed the Tories out & I don’t think any of us really thought Labour would screw us over so spectacularly. But here we are & for me the future is Green.

On Nigel Farage's racism, of course it is possible that someone can believe one thing when they're a teenager and something completely different when they're an adult.
But where is the evidence that has happened in this case?
Instead all of the evidence points in the complete opposite direction

Nigel Farage Is a Racist
The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.
