I knew Gill and Farage and the rest of the UKIP crew in the European Parliament

They were crooks and shysters to a man

They repeated Putin talking points and appeared on Russia Today

UKIP then and Reform now are both a threat to our democracy

A thug singles out the vulnerable to make him feel better about himself. He punches down because that makes him feel like he’s a success. Reform is a club for the socially inadequate. Always accusing and whining. Never helping.

Hannan and Frost in the Telegraph.
Sunak in the Times.
Kwasi Kwarteng in the iPaper.
Johnson in the Mail.
Gove editing the Spectator.
Farage everywhere.
All of them shamelessly honking out their ‘Listen to me!’ garbage, as the country flails around in the unbelievable mess they’ve made.
Nauseating.

Reform is still in charge, at least on paper, but much of its authority now exists only in theory. If this is Reform’s model for government, Kent may have provided Britain with a warning.

The Nazis extended Germany’s national bank and used it to store gold stolen from holocaust victims - including wedding rings and fillings - formed into gold bars.

The gold was then moved to a mine in Thuringia as the Soviets approached the capital in 1945. It was discovered by US forces.

"When people hear “51% of adverts feature black people”, they equate that to “51% of people in adverts are black”, which is not the same thing at all. "

How a Misread Statistic Became Proof of “Too Many Black People” in TV Ads

When 51% of adverts featuring a black person become “adverts full of black people,” the problem isn’t diversity, it’s comprehension.
