Two headlines about the same story reveal how the BBC relentlessly launders Farage's reputation, even as the corporate media steps up. In-your-face malfeasance by the national broadcaster.

A Sunday Times headline that reads "Nigel Farage secretly funded by convicted criminal"

A BBC headline that reads "Farage denies rules broken after reports benefits from ally were not declared"

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

Photo of a small group of mostly men wearing black, with masks and balaclavas, surrounded by a Police Scotland cordon in the bottom of the photo, in the foreground. In the background, a very large colourful crowd of people with saltires, trade union banners, and hand-made signs in support of migrants and against racism have turned up to gather to show solidarity, and the far right guys were hoping to thwart that. They didn't.

A view down a double row of bushy perennial kale plants. They are about a metre tall with a shrubby shape, deep green leaves with purple stems visible. The photo was taken at The Pingle organic market garden where the kale is used in their box scheme. Bare winter trees and a poly tunnel are visible beyond.
