Nigel Farage wants the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights.
He has also attacked animal welfare and environmental protections. When someone tells you they want to remove protections, believe them.

The average spend on yearly health care coverage in the USA is £9,000.

Deform UK Ltd want that instead of the NHS.

Farage says, "I didn't wear them (masks) last time, and I won't wear them this time" and dismisses mask mandates as "rubbish".

Here's Farage in 2020.

Man's a dangerous idiot.

Anyone who tries to sell Nigel Farage to you as a saviour is either super rich or thick as shit.

Might want to wonder why that is.

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

Listen to this American still working 40 hours a week when he's 88 because his wife got sick and he had to sell his house.

This is what they want to do in the UK.

John Major, "Our links to Europe and America may be loser now than once they were and that is a loss"

"The loss of trade with Europe alone costs us £100 billion of lost trade every year"

"That's a tax yield of £40 billion"

"How useful would that have been in recent months to the Chancellor?"

They want to destroy the BBC

They want to leave the ECHR

They want to sell off the NHS to private US buyers

And you honestly think they give a 💩 about you?

Radio on while eating my cornflakes, all I hear is "the Lottery jackpot must be won on Saturday". Hold on, the Wednesday draw hasn't been done yet. Is this a big fiddle or what?

Trevor Philips, "What is the implication of the white poppy?"

Zack Polanski, "The white poppy began after WWI, mainly from women's groups, who talked about peace and antifascism"

Things Reform UK are doing in councils around the country to "cut waste" and "save money"

🤦 Raising council tax

🤦 Spending £1,400,000 on 'money saving consultants'

🤦 Spending £75,000 on flags

🤦 Spending £150,000 on 'political advisors'

🤦 Closing care homes

The reason Farage is on about cutting the minimum wage is because businesses who donate to Reform have told him they want to pay people less.

The original clip of Reagan, from April 25, 1987, delivering a complete and total rebuke of tariffs, which led to King Donald the Mad dropping talks with Canada.

Trump says the video is “FAKE” and “fraudulent.”

The original clip is actually far more damning, as the Canadian ad leaves much out.

This is the same for all privatised utilities. And will be much much more for Farage and Banks with their private NHS replacement.
You shouldn't ask can we afford Nationalisation, but instead ask can we afford Privatisation?

Water costs just £7bn to run in England.

But you are charged £16bn.

That is £9bn a year extra you pay, next year it will be £10bn, and by 2030 nearly £15bn.

It's unaffordable.

The PM hasn’t said state pension will be reduced in April 2026 – Full Fact
There’s no evidence that pensioners will only receive 80% of their pension from next April, as has been claimed online.

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way.

Except for the £600bn a year profit for him and his mates.
