Dear Mr Farage, you stated during the Brexit campaign that we, bloody forrins, were responsible for traffic jams on British roads.
As it happens, I mostly work from home but you're against this now.
So, what do you prefer, me working from home, and being "less productive" or causing jams?

Isn’t it a bit weird to suggest that atheism is just lapsed Christians and can’t happen from other faiths too?
It’s almost like they’re trying to to own atheists too to suggest they’re in the majority, to try and convince people that their ideals are somehow popular or “correct”.
