It's a typical anti-Farage smear.
The Left are getting extremely worried about Farage.
Any way to discredit him. make him look fake, or unpatriotic or a con

Exactly.
I am not, and never have been, a Farage supporter.
But I still see the current lefty efforts to disparage [disfarage?] him
for what they are (well-described above by the PP).
The Left are getting extremely worried about Farage.

It's a typical anti-Farage smear.
Just like the ?pro immigrant? protesters who were escorte
police to confront the peaceful protesters of Epping by shoutingble, who,
Racist! and Far Right! at them to try and goad them into retaliating.
The suspicion is that because the good people of Epping failed to
respond in the manner intended, agents-provocateurs infiltrated the
Epping side, and were later extracted by the police.
The police originally denied bussing people away, but had to eat
s***t when a video emerged of big strapping men in civvies climbing
aboard police vans, leading to what has been described as a
?twenty-minute bloviating word salad? by the Chief Consta
also wearing his woodentop as National Police Lead on Public Order,ngly
totally denied any need for him to examine the operation in any way.
The Left are getting extremely worried about Farage.

Better and cheaper food from Africa and south America instead of Spain
and Italy
Ability to support Ukraine without EU prevarication.
We know that˙ Labour Liberal and Tory politicians have been told to
destroy the country to force it back into submission to the EU, but
Reform will actually reverse that.
The first thing that needs to go is the slavish adherence to EU energy
and climate rules, which no one in the EU keeps to. But we do.
Don't forget the captive bottle caps...
Don?t worry?more than 18 months into the new Labour pro-growth government complete with a Cabinet comprised solely of state-school-educated people, growth is now zero, perhaps in part due to record numbers of NEETs, sick notes, the increases in Living Wage and National Insurance?and more U-turns by the incompetent Prime Minister than can easily be recalled, as his back-benchers have their way. Where would the EU have saved us from this farce?

The politicians prevented that.
But the little we have managed to do has been extremely beneficial

Exactly. Tories AND labour have focussed all energy on getting elected
whilst letting the EU and the civil service fuck the country up.
A Reform victory will allow Nigel and the boys to have a go at fucking
it up.
Many people think this will be an improvement.

Any country has the right to specify what it will import but none should have the right to specify our legislation.

I've no idea whether or not in the financial, energy, foreign policy,
etc areas it's been successful or not. Where it has been successful is
to remove a layer of politicians. Any removal of a layer of politicians should be looked on with satisfaction. I recommend the poem
"Siphonaptera" to you.

That legislation was little to do with the quality of the food it
imports. It was more about excluding products from certain former
British colonies tat could only grow smaller bananas.
Much like the classification of other fruit and vegetables that required perfect shape and colour but didn't consider as a result all taste had
been engineered out of the product.
BTW, big red juicy early Spanish strawberries are in the supermarkets.
They taste the same as bottled water!
