Farage & his right-wing minions are the fear that strikes dread into the heart of millions.

But the mainstream media aim to brainwash you into thinking that they are fighting for 'ordinary people'.

They are xenophobic fascists. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

No pasaran!

In 1933 Adolf Hitler banned Antifa.
In 2025 Donald Trump banned Antifa.

Getting a Saline Drip in the USA cost $800, and your insurance doesn't cover it.

Using an Ambulance costs $1500+$100 every minute, Insurance doesn't cover it.

Do you want Private Healthcare, really?

The evil Green Party is going to tax the richest 0.3% of us.

Is really not going very well as an attack on the Green Party.

I'm sure they will come up with a new completely fake smear soon, like the antisemitism one from 2017-19.

This is bollocks. I don't understand English at A-level standard.
I got a grade 3 in English way back in 1985. In today's money, that makes me as thick as fuck!

Migrants will need to learn English to an A-level standard to work in Britain under a new law introduced today.

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

If we had the same rate of new members joining as over the past month or so again, we'd overtake the Conservatives!

Lets remember how the people celebrated Margaret Thatcher's statue.

They gave her a really big one.

The original Antifa was Antifaschistische Aktion, created by Germans to oppose Adolf Hitler.

It existed from 1932-1933, then Hitler banned it and declared all its members terrorists.

History never changes, fat orange fascists just try to repeat it.

If someone invented a miracle pill that reduced your risk of cancer, heart disease and strokes as well as boosting mood, memory, and lifespan it would be the most popular drug ever. Except we already have it and it's called exercise, and most people can't be arsed doing it.
