Only a sixth of the public know that immigration is now falling (significantly) from its peak levels. It is a challenge to the politicians and the media to do their distinct jobs more effectively by communicating this, so we can have a more informed debate

To be fair to Dulwich College this letter from the Master shows that SOME senior personnel DID speak out.

But how was Farage MADE prefect when someone of this seniority clearly thought it wrong.

As it was.

Yes, so many Tory MPs repeatedly lied that the NHS had received the £350 million extra a week.

Galling for NHS staff struggling to provide a service for patients and having to endure members of the public saying: Why are you struggling when you’ve been given all that (non-existent) extra money?
That lie was compounded when they were asked where it was, and the Tories simply said the money had been put into budget as promised.

“I would never do it in a hurtful or insulting way", said Nigel Farage. "As the victim of his verbal abuse, I can assure you that I do recall it all vividly", writes Peter Ettedgui of "the emotional impact – degrading, humiliating" of antisemitic abuse

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This is one of the most damning videos I’ve ever watched of Farage.

He essentially admits being racist at school - only says he didn’t do it “with intent”.

The quiver in his voice at the end - he knows he can’t squirm out of this one.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Now it’s been quietly shut down eight months early because it never came close to delivering the savings he bragged about.
