People do have "legitimate concerns" about things like housing, rising cost of living, NHS waiting lists etc. That's absolutely fair. Despite political and media rhetoric, absolutely none of those concerns are solved by attacking asylum seekers and other migrants. 1/

He could have quite explicitly stated that they don't, because they don't. This isn't an area to go "oh people think". We have the evidence. They just don't. If you want to claim to be a progressive, liberal, party, you have to actually challenge right wing, predominantly, lies and scare mongering.

Farage and Reform despise the characteristics that make a civilised society. The RNLI have a mission to save lives irrespective of who the person is, their background & where they are from. The RNLI saved enemy forces in the seas around the UK in WW1 & WW2 but such humanitarianism is beyond Farage.
