‘Thick as Thieves’: Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage’s Putin Problem

Ok, so we've all learned over the past few weeks that Christian Nationalists aren't allowed to celebrate Halloween because something, something, demons, evil, something.

Great to see the American tax payers money being put to good use, especially after toxic Barbie said America's deficit is $36 billion or is it trillion!

I like your thinking, but no. That's a bribe, and he and his goons should want to uncover pedophiles not protects them, it would tarnish the prize and rob someone who is deserving of the honour.

I see one of the BBC's favourite bigots is on, today.
When she's not messing around with Kenyan elections, she's proclaiming white nationalist ideals.

She's a vile propagandist.
