This picture has surfaced of Nigel Farage pointing & laughing as the pound crashed after Britain voted to leave the EU. If you still think he’s the man of the people, who would make our country better than it’s ever been? Think again!

It surely is an offence to interfere with the duties of the emergency services, which includes the RNLI? If he doesn't get arrested soon, this is going to escalate to deaths.

Interesting isn't it we can't 'afford' State Pension. But we can afford to give King Charles who is already a billionaire another £48m, 4,000 State Pensions, a year extra. Hmm...

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £354m a year tax free from the tax payer including £132m personal spending money and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. Like if he needs a pay cut. RT if you want the Monarchy gone. #NotmyKing

The RNLI has said the abuse of volunteers in Portsmouth has forced it to close the lifeboat station there and stop operating since September 10. Nearby stations have been providing cover to the area instead. One of the UK's largest coastal cities without a lifeboat because of the far-right.

Remember Farage having a hissy fit because Sky News knocked on his door and asked if he was at home. He was outraged because his daughter answered the door and claims Sky were harassing his family. Fast forward to him laughing at a distraught Mother living in Piddlington who's worried for her sons.

With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.

The ONLY reason why he did it is because someone told him he would lose the support of Tennessee and other red states if he didn’t lower the flags. He did it out of self preservation. He didn’t do it after Rep. Melissa Hortman was murdered, he wanted to piss off Minnesota.
