A reminder that Nigel Farage has pocketed more than £400,000 this year from GB News.
No wonder Farage is cheering Trump on in his attacks on the BBC.

Another step towards marking transgender issues as a mental "Illness" so its easier to take away their rights. Just like Reagan when Blacks bought guns. It was never about the 2A, it was about us having guns versus them.
But let's not restrict racist white supremacist psychopaths, no sir!

Just browsing around and wonder why ICE haven't gone after Trumps children.
Ivana (Austrian at that time) married Trump in 1977 and became a US citizen in 1988.
Does this means that Donald Jr (b 1977), Ivana (b 1981) and Eric (b 1984) are all Austrian citizens?
