UK resident here.

Brexit, Liz Truss, COVID, banking deregulation, 15 years of austerity, and privatisation are what have turned the UK into shit. Not immigrants.

But societal collapse? That's still a way off, yet.

Nigel, here, saying that Bernard Manning used to be on TV but got cancelled because he was racist – and that we should all now cancel him, too, I guess, because he's also a massive racist?
Nigel Farage is a vile, thin skinned, little man.

The "fake left" fawn over Andy Burnham like he's the next best thing since slice bread. I knew he was shit back when he worked with mega landlord Blair, who's renowned for War Crimes and corrupting Labour with dodgy donations from landlords

Given Farage’s press conference meltdown today, I think now is a good time to RT this. Remember it’s not JUST what he said and did as a child, it’s what he has said and broadcasted as an adult that paints the picture of the man he is …
We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

Note that Roger Stone refers to Prospera, the Network State city in Honduras, as a "freedom city."

Trump wants to build ten of these cities on federal land, and Stone makes it clear that these fascist cities are, indeed, the Network State.
Why Did Trump Pardon the Former Honduran President? Follow the Tech Bros.

“Próspera is an example of the tech-right concept of the network state, a phrase coined by Silicon Valley venture capitalist Balaji Srinivasan.”

Surprise, surprise – the multimillionaire donor to anti-immigration party, Reform, is himself an immigrant who lives in Thailand.

Sophy Ridge, "The biggest ever donation to a single political party, to Reform UK"

"£9,000,000"

Anyone care to guess what the donor expects in return?
