They hate our country and are allied to others who hate it too.
Nothing will ever be achieved by seeking to appease them

One piece of positive (but totally unproven) news about Reform Ltd and it’s all over the BBC website.
Not been a major article on them for weeks - nothing about councillors, Farage’s Russian collusion, ‘his’ house, not voting in the Commons, not being seen in Clacton, etc, etc.
I can’t think why.
