17 year old Nigel Farage targeted 9 year old Yinka Bankole and repeatedly and systematically racially harassed him for a year. “Where are you from?” Farage asked. “That’s the way back to Africa” with an accompanying hand gesture pointing towards a place far away. This continued *every* morning.

“Farage has suggested that it’s inconceivable that anyone could recall such events of more than four decades ago. I would simply ask: can a victim of such abuse ever forget?…I recognise his walk every time I see it on TV as that same walk that used to approach me”

I’ll never forget the look of hatred Nigel Farage had for me at school, simply for existing
The Reform UK leader doubts people can recall their abuse from years ago. I’ve never forgotten his – it felt malicious

Reform UK’s £9m donation just got more curious. Donor Christopher Harborne—aka Chakrit Sakunkrit—has spent two decades in Thailand, funded Brexit, and was linked to a company that later won an £80m MoD contract. Issy & Poppy say: muy sospechoso… 🐾👉 tinyurl.com/sakunkrit

All those on @lbc.co.uk (presenters and callers) defending Nigel Farage should remember that he was actually sacked from LBC (contract not renewed) because of racism towards Black people (using the BLM movement as a proxy):

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.
The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.
And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

It’s such a shame it took Europe this long to realize what many of us have always known, that Trump has always worked for Putin.

It’s really simple…
- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting
…that’ll do it.

The best way to demolish reform is to remind everyone what the Farage has bought us: Brexit busting Britain, lies, corruption, greed, and meanness. Is this a country you want to have like this?

Good to see Farage looking so rattled on ITV News at 10 at the growing number of pupils confirming his anti-Semitic behaviour at school. Good work by ITN and the Guardian in particular.

Daisy Cooper is correct that Brexit is the cause of the rise in small boat crossings. Many experts and reports link Brexit to the rise in small boat crossings, primarily because leaving the EU ended the UK's participation in the Dublin Regulation.
