Michael Crick laid the boot heavily on Archer, with Geeta on bbc news, she was hoping he'd say something nice about him.?? Michael Crick said that Archer had done a lot of good charity work, and tailed it with,' When he wasn't stealing from them, and threatening to sue them'. 👹👹

Outstandingly dishonest even by Nigel Farage's standards. Farage knows that the men arrested at Fairford would not have been released if they were still suspected to be terrorists. He's stirring up fear, hatred & resentment against both immigrants & the police. Pure malice.

Do Reform voters know that Farage favours replacing the nhs with an American insurance system. The Americans pay twice as much per head for healthcare yet millions are not covered. The largest healthcare company queries 1/3 of claims. #reform #nhs #farage
