On top of this, the silence from Farage, Yaxley-Lennon and all the other so called “patriots” has been deafening. No calls for “pure, cold, rage”, no riots in the streets demanding better justice. Not one of them demanding protection for our women and children. I wonder why?

I have heard rumours that Richard Tice heads a company called Britain Means Business, that has no employees and sells no products but takes in very large donations from foreign based people and forwards them to Reform UK Ltd. I can't believe this is true, but if it is it should bring down Reform.

Another model for a professional sports teams: The Green Bay Packers, with their 13 NFL titles, are a non-profit organization. No need for greedy billionaires AT ALL. And Green Bay hardly qualifies as a city, more like a big town. Of course, the NFL bans other teams from doing this. Wonder why?
