Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 8h

Reform UK in Kent was supposed to be the flagship, their ‘shop window’.

Given the "you hate this country" rhetoric coming from the shite-wing racists who ironically hate everything about the state of this country, post four images that signify why you love the country you call home (mine will always be England) x

Farage has worked out long ago, perhaps learning from fellow fash Tommy Robinson, that no matter the crime, they can simply say "stitch up" and "witch hunt" and their fans will buy the mug

The so-called Homeland Security Secretary is a corrupt and malignant fraud.

This video she sanctioned is fake.

Someone explain to President Vulva Neck the White House is the people’s house.

He’s merely a temporary occupant and doesn’t get to turn it into one of his gaudy country clubs.

The botched Brexit deal dreamt up by the Farage and delivered by the Conservatives has brought nothing but red-tape and economic misery.

The government must now deliver their promised “EU-reset” - starting with a new UK-EU Customs Union.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.

This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

На зарядку становись!

После успеха «Smells Like Teen Spirit» Курт возненавидел песню. Он либо отказывался исполнять ее на концертах, либо намеренно искажал её. Ему не нравилось, что хит перетянул на себя всё внимание- ведь у Nirvana было много других композиций.
