If you want a quick conversation with them, contact them via "X" - they responded very quickly & resolve most issue through DM's. I had a big issue with them a couple of months ago and resolved it fairly painlessly quite quickly! The phone approach way will send you into therapy!

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Reform wants to destroy the UK by destroying its money and its economy

www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKvV... Reform has proposed a Bill in parliament that would destroy the ability of the UK government to create money. Worse still, it wants us to use gold – which we’d have to import. Chaos capitalism!

He then added:

"We might have called ourselves the Liberal Party."
