It's quite simple.

Very rich people are blaming immigrants and disabled people, for stealing all the money (exactly as Adolf Hitler did).

Because they are stealing all the money.

This trick is literally hundreds of years old, and it is the only one they have.

This is the bleeding obvious, yet I’m wondering how much longer we will have to continue with the “Emperor’s New Clothes” farce? When all our rights have been sold away with the paperwork connected to FreePorts?

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 1d

Eight Reform UK councils have indicated that they will raise council tax next year after struggling to find huge cuts in public spending.

That’s despite Reform UK flyers during the Local Elections criticising councils for doing just that.

Never trust a Reformer.

Simon Jenkins, who once thought Brexit would be good for Britain, thinks it was an error.
Like him, the public is clearly ready to see #Brexit reversed. There cannot be a single industry that would oppose it.

Of course it will not be easy. But it will be right.

Reform don’t “win seats” in HOP or Parliament by defections.. they impose Reform on constituents who didn’t vote for them whether they like it or not and refusing to resign and fight an election as Reform

So Farage can boast “we now have X Councillors and Y MPs” without them being elected🤷🏼‍♂️

Danny Kruger sends letter to explain defection to Reform

In a letter to constituents Danny Kruger says Tory "failures" were behind his reason to defect.

Well we don't have dodge bullets at school.
Or ICE thugs coming to kidnap us if we don't have white skin.
Or soldiers marching down the streets, dropping tear gas bombs from helicopters, for literally no reason at all.

So it's not quite as hard as growing up in the USA.

What horrifies me about this is that it is highly unlikely intelligence services etc didn’t know about Epstein’s activities long before this which means that child abuse is just something to turn a blind eye to (see also Cyril Smith, Al Fayed etc etc)
