Why is this CAROUSEL OF NOBODIES constantly platformed by our state broadcaster? This woman was reviewing restaurants and books until recently - then she lands a spell with the Centre for Policy Studies and - hey presto! - she works for City AM and is on the BBC as some sort of expert on economics.

will say it again: the most effective way to curb far right agitators like Lowe, "Tommo" et. al. would be to stop their ability to earn money for it from social media or live streaming. So much of it is grifting for revenue, not attention.

Tough words from a govt who won't even stand up to the intimidation, threats and hostile activity from hordes of British balaclava-clad thugs on British soil.

Two tier policing. Victoria Thomas Bowen, who chucked a milkshake at Farage, was given a 13-week jail sentence, suspended for 12 months; had to pay him £150 compensation; had to complete 120 hours of unpaid work and pay £450 in court costs. It was nowhere near the level of violence of this assault.

Screenshot of the top portion of a UK High Court Claim Form (form N1). Handwritten-style red text at the top left of the header reads "Amended Claim Form under CPR r.17.1(1) dated 9 June 2026", beside the Royal coat of arms and the printed title "Claim Form". To the right, the "In the" field is completed: "In the High Court of Justice, Kings Bench Division, Media and Communications List". The Fee Account number is blacked out; the "Help with Fees – Ref no." boxes are blank. A "For court use only" panel below shows empty Claim no. and Issue date fields.
A blue-shaded note in the middle reads: "You may be able to issue your claim online which may save time and money. Go to www.moneyclaims.service.gov.uk/make-claim to find out more."
Under "Claimant(s) name(s) and address(es) including postcode" is "Christopher Harborne", with two lines of the street address redacted with black marker, followed by "Bangkok 10330, Thailand".
Under "Defendant(s) name and address(es) including postcode" is "Benyamin Naeem Habib"
To the right is a circular court seal reading "High Court of Justice – Queen's Bench Division", stamped "09 Jun 2026", overlapping the word "SEAL". Beneath it, partially cropped, is a case number

Reform UK Is Now a

Subsidiary of the Corrupt Crypto Industry
As criminal investigations into Reform's funding continue, much of the British press continues to give a free pass to Nigel Farage's shady funders
ADAM BIENKOV
TODAY AT 12:36

Photo: Bitcoin Magazine's Frank Corva holds hands with Nigel Farage as he holds up a copy of his proposed Cryptocurrencies and Digital Finance Bill in Las Vegas.Starmer and Burnham's governments have left the door wide open to Delo, Harborne and other crypto billionaires to sweep in and effectively buy up one of our major political parties.
This in turn has an impact on the reporting, which broadly continues to treat these donations as being a massive boon for Farage, rather than being the incredibly alarming evidence of potentially criminal behaviour that it actually is.
This all really matters.
Because whilst the recent reporting of Farage's funding woes appears to have caused the party to dip slightly in the polls, we are still a long way from the general election, at which point the tens of millions of pounds supplied by Reform's shady crypto donors could prove to be an absolute gamechanger.
