Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.

Forced trends and internal variability in climate change projections of extreme European windstorm frequency and severity This study provides an assessment of changes to European windstorm severity and frequency in a warming climate. The results show increases in storm average and aggregate severity for western Europe, ....

The UK windstorm season 2024/25 has seen a fairly active start (Bert, Darragh).

In the future we expect these storms to be more frequent and intense, but by how much?
