Spread the word. Make everyone aware that these are the Farage Boats.
'Farage Boats' is a useful term and should be normalised.
“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏

A storm is brewing over plans to switch Britain’s currency to a decimal system. However, the longer we wait the more it will cost. If we switch to a decimal system in 1967 it will cost £100,000,000. If we wait until 1970 it will cost £128,000,000.
