Farage is the human equivalent of Temu.
He keeps popping up everywhere.
He promises to make you rich but you only get crap from a poundshop.
He pretends to be independent but is controlled by an evil Empire.
He's rich but the origins of his riches are opaque.

The rich don't integrate

They pay so their kids don't go to your schools.

They pay for Private Healthcare so you don't see them at the hospital.

They live in guarded estates, you are not allowed in.

The only place you MIGHT see them is at work, where they order you around.

Things Farage won’t answer:

1. Why did he lie about buying a house in Clacton?

2. What did he know about Welsh Reform Leader Nathan Gill’s Russian Bribes?

3. Why did he lie about meeting the Russian Ambassador?

4. Why is his flagship council Kent raising taxes and cutting services?
