Hey @russincheshire.bsky.social I know that you’re writing books & stuff now, but is there any chance of ‘a week in reform’? I feel the time is right & your commentary on these affairs is comedy gold

🧵 Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims (see thread).

As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.”

That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians
The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

Feeling scared? Like immigrants are invading your land, taking your jobs, committing heinous crimes, and living a life of luxury on your taxes? I get that. You've seen the headlines, the shares, the "truth-tellers" on your feed.
Strange, though, isn't it? 🧵

I left twitter even though I had over 250,000 followers who cared about the NHS, because it was no longer an effective place to speak to people.

If there’s anyone out there who cares about the NHS-give me a follow. If the local election results have told us anything, we need to get organised!💥

What I love about John Dean is that he is pretty much the only person who can say ‘this is worse than Nixon’ and everyone has to believe him:

Ever wonder why Nigel Farage and his 4 MP's get infinite TV time, while the 5 Green MP's are never seen?

It is because one is the establishment, and the other is against them.

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely

I understand the sentiment behind dry January, but if you don't want to commit to this, I've an alternative.
Pub January, where you stop in at your local hostelry, have a drink and support a sector that is in danger of shrinking into obscurity, and with it a large of part of our heritage.

Nigel Farage, who leads a constant revolt against the metropolitan elite and foreigners, is a multimillionaire former city trader, whose kids have German passports, and who works as a brand ambassador for a gold billion firm.
