Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem.

It doesn't.

Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press.

Britain has a problem with racism.

Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem.

RT if you agree.

Has @wself been proved spot on right about Farage, Trump and Brexit?

Nothing more than grubby little opportunists riding on the coattails of history!

Hey Jeremy Vine,

I thought cycling on a footpath was illegal?

Some child could have stepped out in front of you?

I thought you preached about cycle safety?

[Leighton Williams @chesty_7]

@davesumnersmith Yes

[Leighton Williams @chesty_7]

@theJeremyVine What a life you lead !!

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

A simple question.

Why did the BBC ever think it appropriate to report that the suspect in the Southport killings was born in Cardiff to parents from Rwanda?

If he'd been born in Surrey to parents from Yorkshire, I am certain that they would not have pointed that out.

Are they trying to create, or even imply that there are, second-class British citizens?

This feels horribly like racism from the BBC, with the implication being that this group is made up of people who could be deported from the UK because they might have a claim to citizenship elsewhere. If that is what is happening, the BBC is supporting the far-right playbook.

An explanation is needed. Why is this apparent racism allowed from our state broadcaster?

@theJeremyVine It’s almost as if you’re looking for an altercation !!🤷‍♂️

[Leighton Williams @chesty_7]

@7spud He’ll 100% win it now.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Nigel Farage being massively beaten up by the Question Time audience is the best Friday night television I have watched for ages. They are destroying him, one after another, making him look like a complete idiot.

USA media dishes brutal truth about Brexit Britain

“Every decision taken by Tory (and @LibDems) governments was a political decision—it did not need to happen that way. Austerity was never the hard logic of dutiful caretakers; it was a political calculation to rescue rich friends and dump the burdensome price on those least able to endure the cost.”

“There is mold in the walls and shit in the rivers, posh butter in the supermarkets has anti-theft tags stuck to it, the trains run on schedule about half the time, the average pub-poured pint of lager—the blood of the nation—is nearing the criminal price of 5 pounds ($6.34), and on May 22 a new general election was announced to the people of Great Britain by a prime minister who is richer than the king. 

“Should the polls prove correct—short of a 2016-scale error—the annihilation will be justified. Wage growth is at its lowest level since the Napoleonic Wars. What the Financial Timescalls the “rental market” and what the rest of us call “How much of your money someone richer than you takes every month” is stratospherically inflated; rent is about half a person’s average salary in London. Chain stores on British high streets close permanently at a rate of 14 per day, leaving most shopping areas a procession of corrugated shutters, uncollected rubbish, and the sleeping bags of the homeless.

“The precious marvel that is the National Health Service is cracking at the seams; at the current rate, waiting lists will not be cleared for another 685 years. The union for junior doctors, the BMA, has organised 10 strikes and walkouts in the past year for a pay deal that would only bring wages up to the current level of inflation. The city of Birmingham was the first to tip over into bankruptcy; more will follow.

“In 2022, at least 3% of all families in Britain—around two million people—could not afford to eat. Like a revenant from Dickens, Victorian diseases like scurvy, rickets, and scabies are back to blight children.

“Life expectancy has dropped to the lowest level since 2010—tellingly, the year the Conservatives took power, at the height of the recession.”

“These are the bitter fruits of austerity: an experiment in sado-monetarist economics and financial barbarism. Not much unites those five PMs other than the constant ritual tribute in blood to their coiffed icon, Margaret Thatcher. Yet Thatcher, back in the 1980s, did not lie about how brutal the first shock of neoliberalism was going to be. She coldly promised torture before riches.

“Its sequel, however, was pitched by its architect George Osborne, chancellor under David Cameron, as a bit of belt-tightening resembling that most prized memory in the national canon: the Blitz Spirit. Come on, chaps, buck up and give it some welly. The shattering of society into thinner fragments was supposed to be a hardy adventure. 

“Midway through this downhill plummet, Britain bumbled backward out of the EU. The wreckage of this four-year disaster can now best be seen as an attempt to escape the harsh bite of austerity.

“Brexit was a retreat from hunger into myth: an embrace of antique fables about British pluck and derring-do, a belief that even without an empire and an industrial base this archipelago might reclaim past glory. Faced with profound turmoil, much of the nation turned to a half-remembered falsehood about their grandfather’s generation, marching along with Churchill. This election is the reckoning Brexit postponed.

@7spud Could be an easy win for Labour, if they choose to reverse brexit and tax the super rich !! 2 very simple policies, but they won’t go down this road and people are suspicious why not??

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Ayesha Hazarika, "How do you think Brexit is going?"

Bill Cash, "I think it's going really well"

Ayesha Hazarika, "Why?"

Bill Cash, "Regained self government.. Sovereignty.. To make our own laws.. Covid was a disaster.. War in Ukraine"

Mike Galsworthy, "What we just listened to is entirely removed to the lived experiences of the working population.. Analysis has stripped our Covid and Ukraine and found the impact of Brexit is twice the size of covid"

"Sovereignty is the power to make the decisions about your own life or your own country. When we were in the EU we invested part of our sovereignty in people's ability to travel and working in other countries and our businesses to trade freely"

"With Brexit we saw sovereignty shrinkage. We pulled it all back to a government to make decisions, and they haven't used it to do anything useful at all. It's bee a waste of sovereignty. Whereas EU membership was a much better investment of sovereignty"

Ayesha Hazarika, "Kemi Badenoch says it will take 10-20 years to see the benefits of Brexit, should we give it more time?"

Mike Galsworthy, "Do we need more time to see the benefits of Brexit, and they can't even tell us what those benefits will be. Or do we need more time to how bad it is.. Many people think, with Brexit, we can see the damage, there isn't promise of good stuff coming through, so we should pull the plug on it"

"Labour should talk more about Brexit.. Right now Keir Starmer's responsibility is to win a general election.. But should he get into power his responsibilities change: they are to British citizens, British businesses. And our businesses will be crying out to get rid of that Brexit red tape and getting back in. And our citizens will be crying out to travel freely in the EU'

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

2016: Nigel Farage, "There is one absolute certainty.. If we vote to leave the European Union.. We will be the masters of our own destiny"

2024: Nigel Farage, "I genuinely feel that Britain is broken.. Nothing actually works any more.. Broken economically.. Socially.. Culturally.. Politically.. We have a breakdown of trust in politics.. A lot of Brexit voters genuinely disappointed.. There is a lack of leadership.. People need some sense that someone up at the front believes in what they say, and shows a way forward for the country"

If leaving the EU didn't solve the problems the country was facing in 2016, was it the EU's fault? Or was it the Conservative party's fault with years of auterity since 2010?

Also, why did Nigel Farage apply for German passport in 2016 which gives him freedom of movement across the EU, after taking the right of freedom of movement away from the rest of us?

Farage says politics is broken and that people need politicans who believe in what they say, so why did he seek freedm of movement while denying the rest of us?

Let's make better choices in like. Don't vote for Reform. Don't vote for the Conservative party. Vote for any other party: Labour, SNP, LibDem, Plaid Cymru, Greens. If we really want to improve things in our country, we need to move away from the narrative that immigrants are the cause of the problems we face, and instead focus on investing and building our public services, so everyone in our society, can have our needs met through effective public services

Remember we have millions of people like this voting.

Should they be allowed to vote?
