I was suspicious about Terry Tibbs months ago.

& yet it's US who have to provide photo ID. Almost all election fraud in the last 100 years has been perpetrated by candidates & parties rather than voters. Bullshit.

& at exactly the same time that this voter ID bollocks was going through parliament we had mass demos by people who decided that being asked to wear a mask in a hospital during a pandemic was an assault on their freedom.

We get the governance we ****ing deserve.

Great way to provide an argument against proportional representation!

The existence of corruption is no argument against anything. Other than corruption itself. If Reform are found to have fielded non existant candidates they should be prosecuted for fraud on a grand scale.

& since they're a company rather than a party there would be plenty of ways to hit them with fines so massive it would effectively put them out of business. & since the people who run said company are farage himself & his mates, criminal charges would be interesting.

N. Farage MP for Belmarsh has a nice ring to it.
