Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

In the 1960s more than 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government, everything spent on Water, Oil, Gas, Coal, Electricity, Social Housing, Telecoms, Steel, Ships...
Now it's less than 5%, the rest all goes to billionaires Tax Havens

It’s fascinating to see the British far-right, fundamentally anti-Semitic, aligning with far-right Israelis because they see an alliance in hating Muslims. “The enemy of my enemy…”

The far right agitator Tommy Robinson got a warm welcome last night in Tel Aviv, railing against the British government and the Board of Deputies of British Jews– to applause. The government minister who invited him hailed him as a great "friend of Israel."
