Fascist Reform leader Richard Tice would get REALLY upset if you shared this widely on all forms of social media so lots of people can keep it and bring it out before the next election to show that he is as big a liar as Keir Starmer.
So please don't, he would be *very* upset.
Richard Tice, March 2025:
"I have never met Nathan Gill, and he has never had anything to do with Reform,"
Maybe that's the intention

We use St Georgeโs cross instead.
Asylum seekers stiff & cold,
Fuck off, you lot, this countryโs closed.
Then raise that red-crossed standard high.
On lampposts loft it to the sky.
Though lefties flinch and liberals sneer,
We'll keep the George Cross flying here.
