Nigel Farage and other senior members of Reform UK have been filmed by undercover reporters celebrating secret new foreign donations.

Channel 4 News and @Verbatim_Media, a group of investigative journalists, can today reveal a plot to break the law on party funding at the highest levels of Reform UK.

You can watch the full investigation here: https://t.co/f1g358fN2Y

Channel 4 News approached Reform UK, Mr Farage, Mr Jukes and Mr Orr for comment on the findings of this investigation. They did not comment but we understand they deny the allegations in full.

Our yearlong investigation reveals Nigel Farage courting illicit funding as part of a plot to bring foreign money into British politics, orchestrated by his top aides and caught on hidden camera.

Cofnas should have the right to say what he thinks. He does not have the right to call it research and demand that Ghent University underwrite it.

Freedom of speech protects extra-professional viewpoints expressed outside academic confines. But academic freedom exists to protect independent inquiry under normal standards of evidence, peer scrutiny, and research integrity. It certainly does not exist to protect pseudoscience or crazed ideas about discriminatory social engineering.

Cofnas should be to free to speak, publish, organize, and embarrass himself in public. Ghent is not required to turn his racial politics into an academic mandate.

He was hired to study the future of liberalism. Yet he publicly claims to be pursuing "race realism" and a "hereditarian revolution" at Ghent - projects that fall outside his contract with the university and involve advocacy of racial barriers and equally moronic shit.

Fascinating to see this is a phenomenon--Chinese traveling to outlying islands of Taiwan to see films not out yet or banned in China

Thanks to Fred, the personal choices of these Chinese students reflect the changes in U.S. immigration policy and international student policy. Criticism and correction are welcome.

Big thanks to Chris & everyone who joined! 🚀

「當年我們都害怕，但沒人想投降。」

《國運之戰》為國際橋牌社汪導新作，旨在為1996年臺海危機留下記憶。

當年見證此歷史的官兵皆已成家立業；即便不再身處前線，但「苟利國家生死以」的衛國之心依然常在。

今日，我們亦能延續此保家衛國的志業。該影集製作費集資將於3月23日上線，邀請大家支持。
