Just in case anyone isn't sure what Farage wants.
Reform supporters keep telling us we are lying when I repeat this. So let’s be clear.
Here is the video of Nigel Farage himself saying the country will need to “have insurance based healthcare” - private healthcare. Those are his words. That is not a rumour and not spin.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.
