We cannot allow Nigel Farage & others to rewrite history. If UK News Shows won’t call this absolute boll**** out let’s do it ourselves
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it.
We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history.

My word this is a group of sophisticated, smart, humorous and frankly very attractive people.
Made one of them there starter packs, of people I find fun, interesting, intelligent, etc. on this site. Mostly UK pols, a smattering of geopol stuff, Georgia and Ukraine. If you're not there, it's not because I hate you; I just didn't see your name before my dinner was ready.
