If youโre going to fall for Farageโs every cry for attention, FFS, be ready with the facts that show that, not only is he peddling anti-immigrant sentiment/racism for votes, but heโs lying about the stats too.
Itโs dangerous and dishonest.
Please say so.

t least most of them are willing to pay tax here in the U.K. I am sure places like Monaco are getting fed up of feeling colonised by Immigrants

โIt seems Reform politicians are comfortable doing the Kremlinโs dirty work for them, regardless of whether they get paid for the privilege or not.โ
God Farage is a bore. He voted against improving workersโ rights. He doesnโt want us to have control over our lives. He demands that we live within the stifling confines of his stale old prejudices and resentments.
Fewer rights. Less protection. More exploitation.
Thatโs his plan for the rest of us.
Gordon Brown is not a man without faults (and goodness knows the media made it their job to make sure we knew all about them), but he IS a living rebuke to the corrosive idea that all politicians are the same and all corrupt.
