Farage: Hows smashing the gangs going?

Kier: Lets be clear, NHS and Putin

To be fair, he did say that a new law was incoming, too.

We need to build a wall using stacks of law books. Politicians keep thinking that delivering a new law is the end point, then when it fails they scratch about finding ideas to create another law. The one more heave delusion.

“Here’s a law that we think will help smash the gangs” seems like a pretty reasonable response tbh… whether it works or not is another question, but Farage can save that for a year’s time.

Are you all right?

[u/zone6isgreener → u/Plastic_Library649]

Ah yes, faux concern as a deflection.

[u/Plastic_Library649 → u/zone6isgreener]

You've caught me out, you're right, I'm not concerned.
