Living a life filled with perpetual brainfart moments.
Exactly. It makes no sense to switch to a French style funding model if it doesn't save any money, which is why I'm led to the conclusion that Farage actually wants an American style system where corporations get even richer and many people are forced to go without healthcare.

It's also important to remember that EU law is a framework of legislation that each individual member can improve upon.

Suggesting that we could have had better environmental standards as a result of Brexit was simply ridiculous when we already had that option as an EU member.

This is how the right operates, a constant shifting of goalposts so what they deliver is nothing like what they promised.

Much like the promises by Leave campaigners that we "could" spend an extra £350m per week on the NHS or improve environmental standards once we left the EU...

This is the photo of their return from holiday, with the poor nanny doing much of the heavy lifting.

Take a look at Johnson's hair in this picture.

Was this during the discussion about sustainable water management?

Right-wing media regularly commissions specific polls on issues such as immigration to keep it front and centre, and have the option of not publishing the data if the poll delivers the "wrong" result.

Now compare that to the Conservatives Rwanda scheme, or Trump deporting people to El Salvador. These are both countries who continue to commit serious human rights abuses.

Immigrant bashers are happy to turn a blind eye to what happens to the deported, as long as they don't see it for themselves.

Just like Brexit, there's always an implication that our lives will get better once Farage and Co gets their way.

"We currently spend £350m per week on EU membership..."

"We currently spend billions of pounds housing illegals..."

5 years of Brexit and the vast majority of us are worse off.

If Farage believes that cutting immigration will save huge amounts of money, why does he also propose cutting the Minimum Wage for young British workers, to cut welfare for Brits and push the NHS towards a privatised model?...

Over at Facebook, this headline has been met with claims by the usual suspects that the statistics have been manipulated or made up.

The problem with racists is that they will not accept evidence if it goes against their narrative, but will happily share lies that supports their prejudices.

And for those who still can't see the link between those who scapegoated immigrants to get Brexit and the tactics of the Nazis...

Fascism often follows a financial crisis, as people become desperate to blame somebody for their own struggles.

There will always be chancers looking to scapegoat "others" for their own personal gain.

After his first "suicide attempt" with missing video footage, Epstein was put on suicide watch and yet still managed to somehow kill himself.
A very convenient outcome for a man who was key to incriminating many other wealthy child abusers.

Corbyn tried offering Brexit-lite.

Starmer is now offering Reform-lite.

Both have failed to realise that the extreme headbangers have been programmed by toxic headlines and social media to hate both of them.
