Suggestion for all those in England who want to rejoin the EU - get your MP to support a Scottish independence referendum, and watch how quickly and enthusiastically we join the EU, and the benefits we accrue. That would put *enormous* pressure on Brexit in England.

Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system
The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back “control” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.

Farage says leaving the ECHR is the “unfinished business" of Brexit and that the UK is "not sovereign” while we are in it.
But Farage lies. And Brexit is a shitshow. So, “finishing” it should fill us all with dread.

Always be wary of politicians insisting that the only way to truly “take back control” is to remove our rights and freedoms. We lose our protection from abuses of power while our country loses trust and influence on the world stage. That’s not control. It’s weakness.

Everything about his body language whenever a question is asked about the Russian bribes speaks of panic. Farage is vulnerable on this.
Farage is asked about another two of his MEPs, who made the same pro-Russia statements that Nathan Gill has now pled guilty to being bribed to make.
"Opinions are opinions."
Farage's defence seems to be that they arrived at those views independently and it has nowt to do with him.
Hmm. 🤔 ~AA
