Farage's Brexit was a hideous failure that cost Britain dear.
Farage is now crushing it in the local elections.
It's truly frightening how effective 'Big Lies' and emotional rhetoric are, and how weaponising the pain of immigrants & so called 'minorities' seems to be an easy path to power.

The WRU spent £5m – more than the annual squad budget for a Welsh club – to set up the Principality Stadium roof walk and zip wire.
Now, to the surprise of literally nobody, it's "hugely underperforming" and the WRU are considering offloading the ownership of the attraction.
It never ends.
