And there's the giveaway...you know its a con if Nigel Farage supports it.
Nigel Farage attends the farmers protest whose lives he made worse with his Brexit lies.
Of course he takes his 3 bodyguards that you pay for, 2 behind him and one hidden behind the guy on left's head.
He just loves wasting everyone's money.

As ever, a great source of analysis on the war in Ukraine
Today, the war in Ukraine – or at least the time since the large-scale Russian invasion of 2022 – reaches the 1000-day mark. Besides reflecting on the tremendous sacrifices of the Ukrainian people since February 2022, the 1000-day point permits taking stock of the situation. 1/8 🇺🇦🧵
