This is pretty much the only post anyone should need to understand that Farage is a traitor, a conman and a populist simpleton who must *never* be given power.

Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness.

If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.

You can love Jewish people and be against Zionism.

You can want a free Palestine and a free Iran at the same time.

You can love a population of people and also hate people in that population who hate other people.
