When Trump was in Berlin for his first state visit with Angela Merkel he asked the secret of her great success.

Merkel told him you have to have intelligent people around you.

"How do you know if someone is intelligent?" asked Trump.

"Let me demonstrate." She picked up the phone, called Wolfgang Schäuble and asked him a question, "Mr. Schäuble, he’s your father's son but not your brother. Who is it?"

Without hesitation Schäuble answered, “Quite simply, it's me!"

"You see," Merkel told Trump, "this is how I test a person’s intelligence."

Thrilled, when Trump flew home he called Mike Pence and asked him the same question. ”He’s your father's son, but is not your brother. Who is it?"

After much back and forth, Pence said,
“I have no idea, but I’ll try to find out the answer by tomorrow!"

Of course Pence couldn’t figure it out and decided to seek advice from former President Obama, so he called him and said, “Mr. Obama, it's your father's son, but is not your brother. Who is it?"

Obama answered, “Easy, it's me!"

Happy to have found the answer, Pence called Trump and said triumphantly, "I have the answer, it's Barack Obama!"

Trump raged and shouted, "No, you jackass, it's Wolfgang Schäuble!"

I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets.

I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated.

Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off?

Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it.

Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours.

None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer.

You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets.

Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you.

Think. Before they take everything.

@carolvorders Some sound advice!

After his divorce, Giancarlo Esposito declared bankruptcy and considered arranging his own death to provide insurance money for his children. Shortly after, he was cast as Gus Fring on 'Breaking Bad,' a role that transformed his life.

I disagreed strongly with Tony Blair re the Iraq war. But here, 2005, he hands Nigel Farage his arse on a plate. Farage's face is a picture.

More of a braghole than a Fesshole. But I have the best job in the world. I get paid to drink tea. I'm a tea taster for a large tea company. Sometimes I also get to travel to amazing places across the world to sample teas. I'm living the dream.

A girl aged abut 3 or 4 was on the bus singing the alphabet song. She ended it with 'zee'. I leant over and said, 'Listen here, young lady. In this country, we say 'zed'. If people like you say 'zee', society will fall apart and it'll be hard to hang on to civilisation.'
