When Farage and I were growing up (similar age) Russia was the enemy, we were both in cadets, Russia was the Army’s foe

Villains in Movies & books were Russian.. those who helped Russia were traitors

Since 2010 Farage has been on Russian TV at least 17 times talking the West down

Show this to a flagshagger. They’ll hate it.

Reform isn’t a party. It’s a pyramid scheme. Farage and his billionaire donors aren’t patriots. They’re con men up to their BALLS in foreign money.

This explains how they do it.

Stop believing the bullshit.

Priti Patel smears the hundreds of thousands who marched in London yesterday in support of the Palestinians & against our govts complicity in Israels genocide.

Patel also claims people are burning copies of the Torah on the pro Palestinian protests. Which is a lie of course

@matthew-wright.bsky.social thinks Keir Starmer is 'on the wrong path' by blaming Nigel Farage and Brexit for the UK's 'economic wills'.
