It would be impossible to exaggerate just how useless Kent Police are being about basic communication. I am going to try to find out how to get some kind of review of what they are up to.

Whose old enough to remember when Farage was in the news for allegedly avoiding £44K Stamp Duty re his £850K Clacton house❓

It was days after Angela Rayner had to quit after being relentlessly pursued by MSM, Farage etc re stamp duty..

It’s up to us to stop them burying it so you know what to do 👍🏼

Headline from Guardian about Farage and his dodgy property dealings in Clacton and potentially swerving stamp duty

Headline from BBC, who for five minutes, had to join the pack and report Farage’s dodgy clacton house deal and potentially avoiding stamp duty which as we know if your Angela Rayner, you should be sacked for but if you’re Farage…

Keir Starmer and Lab could learn a lot from Polanski but instead they give us anti-immigration vibes. Labour doesn't even want EU citizens coming to the UK. Therefore, it's time Lab voters abandon Lab and vote for another party.

If Lab doesn't change then the party must die just like the Tories.

Well over £6 for a pint, more in some places.

We got charged nearly £12 for a medium large glass of Red.

For contrast l was charged €3.50 for a 'pint' (500mls) in a rather nice hotel in Spain.

Hotel, not bar/pub.

Therein lies and big part of the problem.

Farage has pledged to spread material from US based Hillsdale College. They are rabidly transphobic and linked to Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation.

JK Rowling, Sex Matters, and the Times etc swim in the same pond. They're now attacking the European Commission for 'poisoning children'.
