This is outrageously propagandistic
When it comes to modern war, Ireland is a high-value target: its waters on the western fringe of Europe contain three-quarters of all undersea cables in the northern hemisphere. Despite this, is unprotected and unprepared.

Another contemporary accused the Reform leader of being a “complete liar” in an interview on Tuesday afternoon. Andy Field, a GP who was two years below Farage at Dulwich, said he had directly witnessed racial abuse from the Reform leader.
