  1. Beyond sick of Farage. It’s awful situation we are in the UK right now. His shit feels like Trump 2015 and we all know how 2016 Trump ended. I worry about Farage being PM. NHS. The poor. Disabled. All are at risk with the charlatans plans.

    “Gary Glitter labels Huw Edwards a nonce”.

    More at 10.

    Jim Ratcliffe has dodged so much taxes he could pay for an entire year’s worth of immigration.

    And that’s just one fucking billionaire who has moved their tax liabilities abroad.

    The only minority ruining Britain is the fucking tax dodging “elite”.

    We need to stop calling them the “elite”.

    They are the “predatory” class. Because they are preying on us and we are allowing it to continue.

    Someone fleeing a war torn country: economic migrant

    Billionaire wanting to pay less tax: economic refugee

    He could singlehandedly pay the asylum hotels every year without failure 3 times over and even afford to upgrade EVERY person in asylum to the Ritz 365 days a year, it’s bonkers just how much a single man dodges in tax.

    10 years of his taxes could’ve paid for HS2 in full.

    There’s dozens of billionaires like him that withhold their taxes like this, and thousands more centimillionaires. We don’t even *need* wealth taxes to get the hundreds of billions these people owe – they just don’t pay what they already should.

  5. That just shows Farage doesn’t understand what refugee means

    I would love to be a refugee like Jim who gets residency in global city like Monaco, can fly in and out of country whenever he wants, buy a famous institution without any opposition from the regime. Imagine Afghans or Ukrainians doing that

  6. He’s changed his tune since this morning, it reminds of that song All four seasons in one day.

  7. It’s weird how many temporarily embarrassed millionaires in the UK love rich people and think they are part of their club. You can’t reason with them due to lack of intelligence so it’s just a hopeless situation.

  8. I thought he hates economic migration. I wonder if it might be something else about the boat people he hates instead.

    Now we know at least one source of Reforms money.

    Farage bending it over for that money. Work it Nigel.

    Charlatan.

    Ah, I see.

    Reform’s new Trumpy strategy is to appropriate words they see as ‘woke’ or left in order to devalue their meaning.

    Words like colonialism, or refugee.

    Persuade us, the pig-people voters, to think that billionaires are in fact in terrible suffering and must be coddled.

  11. >When he was asked if the [colonisation] language was offensive, Farage said: “I think it’s probably in the dictionary definition correct, but perhaps people aren’t quite ready for it.”

    To me there’s something inherently egotistical about saying something like this. If you’re currently “not quite ready” for this kind of language, he seems to be suggesting that in time you’ll find Ratcliffe’s comment (which he “firmly” agrees with) to not only be technically correct, but also acceptable.

    Farage will continue to push the country in a direction which suits him, by capitalising on moments like this.

    Yeah, those tax refugees sail on huge yachts, not on dinghies risking their lives.

    Farage is a billionaire ass-kisser..

  13. Paying less tax is popular with working people because it will pay for an extension, a holiday, a new car and so forth.

    Paying more tax as a billionaire will not even be noticeable.

    It’s honestly baffling why they hoard cash when they have more money than most people in the country put together.

  14. Tax dodger gets support from party that wants to lower taxes. There is a surprise!

    It must have been hell for Ratcliffe to flee to Monaco on a superyacht and end up in a luxury apartment overlooking the marina. I hear children in Palestine are organising a charity concert for him and are going on a hunger strike over how Ratcliffe has been treated by the British government.

    Gentle reminder that Farage is a spokesperson for Nomad Captialist, a company that encourages and fascinates this sort of thing by helping Brits get a passport for one of the many tax havens of the world.

    I am asking all journalists to always refer to ‘economic migrant Sir Jim Ratcliffe’ for the rest of time.

  17. Any Reform numpties ready to defend their billionaire overlords? Suck off Sir Jim and blame Mohammed?

  18. These people live in mansions and are waited on hand & foot but they still aren’t happy because they just want to win the oppression Olympics
