Nigel Feckin Farage has a lot to answer for.

No polite words to describe these despicable ’men’.

Well here's what the maga republicans did to healthcare with the big fugly bill. Then they "prayed"
Agreed, President Sheinbaum did the right thing.

We should be learning from other countries...

This is all so bad for our democracy and our country. Farage has lied and grifted his arse off to be where he is today and our media routinely fails to hold him to account on any of it. His Brexit ideology is a ruinous disaster and his mass deportation and leaving the ECHR plan would be even worse.

But papers like the Times and broadcasters like the BBC just crawl up Farage’s backside instead of asking him the difficult questions and scrutinising his past failures.

Thatcher was the witch who brought in university fees in this country. I was lucky enough to get both a BA & an MA in the UK before she put her evil claws into education.
And then when I moved to France in 1981 I was able to get a second MA (in 1995) again for free. Which is how it should be.
