My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview.
He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997.
Farage would have been about 33 at time.

At its core, fascism is about cult leaders making money out of hate. There hasn't been a fascist leader yet who hasn't milked the nation he's supposedly "devoted" to for every penny it's got! Hitler did it. Putin does it. Trump does it. And Farage can't wait to do the same!
