Do you believe Farage didn't know who these people were and why they might be interested in him and his party? I don't.

Most people seem to have missed who retweeted this picture of Farage in Gill’s office a few days after Gill began receiving his first bribes from Oleh Voloshyn (Oleg Voloshin). None other than…

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

Billions of UK tax payer money will be poured into propping up failing tech that if implemented will weaken and and in some cases destroy huge parts of UK infrastructure because of these two cunts

And when the bubble bursts, you wont even get an apology, no accountability, just on to the next scam.

If you have COVID symptoms, TEST
If you test positive, ISOLATE
If you can’t test, MASK

Yes they did. The reports were never prefaced with what he did, they were always that he'd been arrested for seemingly nothing. The radio just ran headlines with no explanation. There clips of him whining but nothing from the trans women he assaulted. Fuck your "freedom of speech"

If the democratic world is just entrenching & worsening poverty for more and more people, where's the big surprise when people turn away from it?

Make it work or accept that it will die.

Tax the super rich until they are just very rich. We want our money, our infrastructure and our equality back.
