If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it
We cannot allow them to rewrite history.
If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely

It’s not just four years of marvelling at how awful he is, it’s four years of being dumbfounded by the desperate dishonesty of supporters. If a photo of Taylor Swift or Hilary Clinton waving is somehow ‘proof’ that Musk didn’t do a Nazi salute in plain sight, what else will they pretend to believe?

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath
