Anderson (Refuk) says Year 9 students in Ashfield are studying politics, and on a display board next to the words “extreme right-wing”, “Nazism”, and “fascism”, and beneath pictures of Hitler and Mussolini, are pictures of him and Farage. Give that academy an outstanding rating right now.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
