Christopher Harborne's crypto company provides the tether tokens used by the Russian government to avoid sanctions and by organised crime organisations to launder money.
The fact that they are also connected to Farage and Reform UK doesn't really seem to be surprising.

If you are planning any new minis I think the SFS 2e Iconic Characters would probably be useful?

A study by an interfaith group. That is a bit like a poultry marketing group saying that eating chickens is important.

Person one says X. Person 2 hears them and repeats it, person 3 hears person 2 and repeats it, person 4 hears person 3 and they repeat it. Person one hears person 4 and say "Look I was right!".
The Chinese whispers variant of a self fulfilling prophesy.
Repeated hearsay is not evidence.

The other one is when someone shares a dishonest story from the right wing press a common reply is "They wouldn't be allowed to print it if it wasn't true". I try and explain that they often print dodgy stories followed by a retraction and apology weeks later in small print at the bottom of a column

Most right wingers don't fact check. I often fact check stuff that pops up on my feed from such sources. When I ask the original poster why they didn't fact check it first I get answers such as "I didn't have time", "It sounded right to me so I didn't bother", "I don't care if it's not true".

I seem to remember that income tax was introduced to fund the Peninsular War so that would have been a little over 200 years ago.

Trump attended a Sinn Fein fundraising event in 1995 but Sinn Fein have stated that they didn't accept any money from him.

Quite frankly this is true for everything that has been privatised over the years, not just water.

It's worth noting that the Trump-Russia Dossier written by Christopher Steele, an ex-MI6 agent was based upon intelligence gathered by Sergei Skripal, a former KGB agent who defected to Britain. As soon as the Dossier became common knowledge two Russian agents attempted to assassinate Skripal.

Trump didn't write that, too long, too many big words and no word salads.
It was either "AI" or ghost-written for him.

Rod Stewart seems a nice guy but supports Nigel Farage.

And before people start accusing him of being an anti-Semite, I would mention that the Palestinians living in Gaza are also Semites.

It appears to be behind a paywall.

Care work is not an unskilled job. Being an MP is an unskilled job. MPs require no qualifications and are not required to undergo formal training once they have the job.
Perhaps MPs should take a pay cut because it's unskilled work?

Yes and then later they forcibly sterilized them as part of their eugenics programme.

I'm guessing this is an April Fool's joke, however in this age of batshit craziness, it isn't so easy to tell these days.

Is bacon going to stop Texas from banning role-playing games in schools? Is it going to make Trump & Co. act humanely?
If not, then I suspect you are exaggerating.

I would point out that Trump has also put DHS and the "DOGE Supervisor" (aka Elon Musk) in charge of inspecting electoral rolls and removing anyone they think is an invalid voter, so Musk will be a busy boy. Yet more government data for him to illegally put on his private drives.
