I see pictures of men, women and children, babies even who were thrown into gas chambers by the nazis. I can’t think of a more hideous shameful collective mark on humanity. You don’t joke about it which is why there are no jokes about it. And no one did 50 years ago either.., unless you were a nazi.

You can tell someone’s Reform from weapons grade hypocrisy they use so freely.. take Nathan Gill’s profile on X for example👇🏼👇🏼

“Love my God, my family and my country. Not afraid or ashamed to be patriotic.”

10 years in prison for taking bribes from our enemy Russia is as unpatriotic as it gets❗️😡🤷🏼‍♂️

Studies suggest a judge would have found the defendant's guilt or innocent contrary to the jury's verdict in roughly 1 out of every 4 or 5 trials, with the most common disagreement being the jury acquitting when the judge would have convicted. So you’re more likely to get off if tried by a jury.

If tarot cards worked, a 2nd reading should produce the exact same result. A similar problem exists with juries. Eg, If two juries heard the exact same case, the verdict should be the same. But as “The Jury: Murder Trial" CH4 showed, that is not always so.

Ed Davy calling for an enquiry into Russian influence within Reform. Farage knows a bit about that. He’s even managed to get his useful idiots to put up flags on lamp posts in the name of “patriotism”. They might as well be flying the Russian State Flag or one with a picture of Putin on it.

Labour’s mantra, “Let’s Make Brexit Work” has aged about as well as as a whisky bottle filled with piss and left in the cupboard for ten years.

It’s not whisky, it never will be and it’s costing us £231 billion every year!

The FBI are currently sifting through the Epstein files and removing any that refer to certain individuals. If you think that’s bit far fetched, ask “who ripped out the hard drives from Epstein’s security systems, the ones holding the videos, immediately before the FBI arrived to arrest him?
Hmmm?

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) in its study “The Economic Impact of Brexit” examined nearly a decade of data since 2016. It concluded that the UK economy has shrunk by 6-8%.

That’s up to £231 billion every year!

No wonder Rachel Reeves is struggling!

I’m not a huge fan of Piers Morgan but on BBC Newsnight last night he called for a second referendum to rejoin the EU and suggested the country would vote overwhelmingly to rejoin. Well said Piers. I’m warming to you.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Farage has known Gill for 20 years. Yet while they collaborated on their mutual loathing of the EU, somehow they never discussed their mutual admiration for Russia? #ReformRussianBribes #BrexitIsRussianForeignPolicy
Reform UK desperately tried to distance Farage from the traitor Nathan Gill.

But here is Conor Gogarty reading Farage's own quotes about bribe-taker Gill back to him:

"I have worked closely with Nathan Gill as leader of Ukip Wales. I have always found him to be hard-working, honest, and loyal."

I’ve no doubt more are involved in Russian spying ring but political corruption is like mycelium that spreads for miles under the ground and only occasionally throws up a mushroom. It’s why I don’t think everything in the Epstein files will ever see the light of day.
Who’s watching the watchers?

Banks was losing Reform candidate for Mayor of West of England but lost. He’s a good mate of Nigel Paul Farage and an old foe of Carol Cadwalladr. Another Reform Russia link.

It will be interesting but predictable to see how Farage and the right wing press go about suppressing the fact that Nathan Gill is now in jail after working for the Russians. And all those useful idiots putting up flags because they think Reform stands for patriotism. Will they never learn!

Correct me if I was dreaming, (I could quite reasonably been asleep) but didn’t Fiona Bruce say last week that Andy Burnham was going to be on the show tonight? I can’t see his name on the panel list!

It's taken five years for them to tell us what we already knew. That this useless, scruffy sack of shit was responsible for so many deaths. The Boris Covid Wall is a testament to his time in power. What we need to know now is when is he, and his corrupt money-grabbing cabinet, going to prison?

Nick Ferrari LBC claiming that 16,500 millionaires left the country due to the higher tax rates. The Tax Justice Network say the number represents a around 0.5% of the total millionaire population. If you live in the south east, your house and assets may be easily be worth a million. Scaremongering?

The US uses the scheme EB-1A Extraordinary Ability Category for migrants to claim citizenship. EB1A is the most prestigious and difficult to obtain. It requires proof of sustained national or international acclaim in one's field. How then did Melania Trump get it and what for?
I think we know!

I don’t worry so much about the people that Nigel Farage doesn’t want to live next door to. I’m more concerned about the people who may have to live next door to him.
