UK media always asks the wrong questions. Instead of hounding high achieving people of colour , perhaps they'd consider asking why white people who fail spectacularly in government so easily walk into high paying media & consultancy work once they’ve exhausted that particular racket .

Photo of Farage laughing surrounded by bitcoin symbolsIn other words, Farage not only plans to use his desired office as Prime Minister to hand huge tax cuts to his own crypto donors, but he then plans to personally profit massively from the ensuing transactions.
As misuse of the political process goes, it is hard to imagine anything more nakedly corrupt.
And yet Farage's planned ransacking of the British political process, for his own financial ends, is still barely being scrutinised by most of the British press.
