βYou described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?β
βBecause thatβs what they areβ

@Peston
Heseltine has just addressed a packed meeting of the European Movement at Tory conference. He does not show the restraint of most party leaders in his critique of Farage and Reform: βright wing equivalents to the fascists of the thirties are back on the march: Le Pen in France, AfD in Germany, Fdl in Italy, Vox in Spain and conspicuously Reform in this country. Much of President Trump's language in America coincides with words here in Europe. The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem which needs a solution although recent events here have cast a dark shadowβ¦We must make clear that we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Nigel Farage. We have to deal with President Trump for the next 3 years. we don't need his mouthpiece anywhere near Number 10.β

These ICE agents arenβt actual trained law enforcement professionals. They are deputized thugs. Violent scum pulled from the J6ers,Three Percenters, and Oath Keepers. They are already so repellent that giving them the chance to physically attack people they already hate is a gift to them.

- Do you admire Nigel Farage?
- On what basis?
- Do you admire him?
- I don't understand your question.
- What do you think of him?
- Why don't you ask me about Ed Davey?" π± ~AA

This is a lie.
There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. Iβve been making them for years.
But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
