How come there are records of Farage making similar statements/questions in the EP (e.g., 2014 warnings of Western provocation leading to war with Putin), sharing themes of anti-EU/NATO expansion and de-escalation that align with Gill's bribed pro-Russian narratives on Ukraine?

That's why there's the push to remove us from the protection of the ECHR

The target state being a wholly Christian nation with only white Christian immigrants permitted. Here is Russell Vought ex Heritage exec now part of Trump's Administration, setting out his vision www.reddit.com/r/somethingi...

Here's Vought in a hidden camera interview talking about his pet project and his end game of the US being a Christian nation (he didn't want to use the work nationalist) and only white Christian immigrants would be permitted.

Interesting hidden camera interview here with Russell Vought.

They must have been pretty certain Trump would win!

P2025 aim is a Christian nation (he didn't want to use the term nationalist) with only (white) Christians.

Reform a Tory can't implement the UK version of Trump's disgusting Project 2025 whilst we're still in the ECHR.

That's why they will do all they can to try and get us out. It will include lying like they did with Brexit again.

This might be relevant - did the recent polls really give Reform 300+ seats?

There’s also this which is potentially part of the far right media strategy for Reform

Brexit wasn’t abstract, writes The Bear.

It stripped out the NHS’s stabilisers – staff, medicines, safety nets – and left us running on fumes.

The cost isn’t just GDP points. It’s lives.

From promises to collapse: The measurable damage Brexit caused the NHS

Staffing gaps, medicine shortages and avoidable harm – the everyday reality of a broken Brexit promise

Analysis from the likes of Reuters determined that the UK-US trade deal actually costs us money (£10-15 billion pa) whereas the design of the EU deal potentially saves them €5 billion pa

Let's also not overlook that Sunak appointed David Cameron as Foreign Secretary whilst Cameron was still being investigated for corruption associated with the Greensill debacle

If they don't get us out of the ECHR they can't implement the UK version of Project 2025.

You know the one that has work streams including

Destroy (US) Democracy
Devastate the environment
Create an unsafe society
Take away freedoms and rights
Diminish opportunity

NEW Analysis of North Carolina election results indicates patterns consistent with vote manipulation.

Not consistent with international expectations for what an unmanipulated election looks like & multiple instances of trends in data which didn’t match internal control data

They have the ISDS (International State Dispute Settlement) provision in the CPTPP agreement I believe. Did our membership of it ever get ratified?

Wonder if ISDS is in any of the UK Freeport/SEZ contracts and potentially with the water companies eg Thames Water?

Oh the irony.

Wasn't the UK a key player in the prosecutions of the 'controlling' Nazi individuals at the Nuremberg Trials?

How could we have prosecuted these evil individuals but are OK not stepping in to stop Netanyahu et al from carrying out the same horrific crimes?
