I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

Righteous anger is not a sin. It is the pulse of justice beneath your ribs, the spark that refuses to die when the world tells you to be silent, polite, patient. It is holy fire, dangerous only to those who built their empires on the backs of the broken and the hungry.

Just like everything else relating to this loathsome man and his fascistic party, this is based on lies.
Reform is taking aim at the European Convention on Human Rights. “This,” it says, “is how we reduce immigration.” But is this reality?
In short no, not remotely. Here are the facts.

Nigel Farage is wrong about the European Convention on Human Rights | Good Law Project
The Reform leader is unveiling legislation to leave the ECHR. His arguments are wrong – and that move would be a disaster.

How strong is the evidence refuting the autism myth?
There’s no credible evidence linking vaccines to autism—just decades of global research showing they’re safe. Autism’s roots lie in early brain development.
