The one thing Farage hates is scrutiny. The one thing he hasn’t faced is scrutiny.
That needs to change.

Harry Horton raising serious allegations of racism from his past.
If he has nothing to hide, why respond like this?

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

A reminder that London is far safer than many major cities, that crime is falling and that racists hate both these truths because they undermine their vicious little divisive narrative.
Multiculturalism works. London works. And those who hate both things hate themselves most of all.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

UK is plagued with politicians too scared to speak the truth.
After 9 years we are only now seeing timid admissions that Brexit has not been good.
We need to hear politicians say that Brexit has been an unmitigated disaster and it must be addressed now.

He’s the antithesis of a decent Englishman.
He’s sly, he’s divisive, he has, at best, a tenuous relationship with the truth.
His avarice for wealth and power knows no bounds.
Many of his acquaintances have friends who wish this country ill.
Yet, the ignorant fawn over him.

Yes. Give me a good reason why I had to watch my partner's coffin on a webcast?
Let’s never forget rationing ventilators and Zoom funerals. Boris Johnson and his cronies partied while our loved ones lay dying alone. COVID-19 was the worst public health crisis in a century. We should have locked down earlier. To some of us, PPE was not a get-rich-quick commodity.
