Week after week, Nigel Farage is allowed to host his show on GB News. Even though Ofcom rules say broadcasters cannot use politicians as newsreaders, interviewers or reporters in any news programmes. Ask Ofcom to investigate ⬇️

Farage and Reform are having to create ever more outrageous headlines in an attempt to counter their falling popularity and to distract from the various investigations and allegations. They are in panic mode.

No wonder Badenoch and Farage are shitting bricks at the suggestion that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum. Their whole business model relies on Brexit and the racist anti- immigration bomb that it detonated. Their next bright idea - to leave the ECHR - would delight Putin too.
Gazette
ECHR withdrawal 'gift to Putin'
By Jonathan Rayner | 22 March 2012

Britain’s withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights in favour of a British bill of rights would be Vladimir Putin's
'best present ever', an East European delegate at a Council of Europe event for lawyers told the Gazette last weekend.

The source, who asked not be named, said that Putin, just re-elected as president of Russia, has always said that the Strasbourg court's policing of human rights was ‘meaningless'.
Another unnamed source, a former north European government lawyer, described the UK government's attitude to the Strasbourg court as 'Britain shooting itself in the foot. If the British don't engage with Europe, they'll lose influence and shouldn't be surprised if
Germany and France fill the vacuum?

Russia has been at war with Britain for years and the EU referendum was an open goal which they exploited. That doesn't mean that "Putin made Brexit happen" but his troll farms and media operations certainly played a part Brexiters may hate to hear it but to deny it is to deny a dangerous reality.
