Nigel Farage claimed Reform were going to ‘fix all the potholes in Britain’, but they cannot even get a job like this done… 🙃

Sadly, sexual predators and pedophiles near the King is nothing new - look up the history of the most influential men in his life - Lord Mountbatten and Laurens Van Der Post or his close religious advisor Peter Ball (oh and Jimmy Savile)
