Editing JohnsonDs posts is biggly badly bad.

More than 450 people cross Channel in small boats on Christmas Day

APPLE.NEWS

The last time boats carrying migrants were known to have arrived was on December 14.

Facts are 450x£40k per annum divided by the tax and NI from the average tax payer ??. That’s give or take 2400 hard working decent people’s tax take totally wiped out in one day. I’ll maybe use the edit facility if required or even take a screenshot 🤷‍♂️. 
 

Yep editing a persons post to that extent stinks of desperation.

there's only one person who can stop them - it's no coincidence the initials of Nigel Farage and National Front are the same

How’s that not a coincidence?

Good question, but it is a coincidence and it may turn out to be a pertinent one too.

Are you suggesting that the membership of ArbTalk, despite the many many posts on the subject can't stop them?

hopefully when the cash bungs reach a critical mass, Reform can set up a naval blockade and buy up some Kent farmland to build a new airport - straight out of the water and onto the plane, no processing required. But what about those who deliberately throw their passports away? Maybe a roullette wheel divided into a few suitable holding territories.

The second coming of Christ may never happen, but Nigel is real and already here. He can lead us out of the darkness, for the bargain price of £25

Ha ha, that's one thing sorted. 

If the bungs keep on coming after that he might sort the NHS, transport system, environmental services, educational system and defence. I have a suspicion that NHS will be sold off even more, transport will be privatised even more, environmental services will continue to defer to the shareholders of the parent companies, education will continue to be a rich-person's game, and the defence budget wheel will keep spinning like it does. 

With their new treasurer being a billionaire, it's hard to see how Reform are anything other than the voice of the people...

Musk is a business man, special interest making more money. If he bungs Farage 100 million (or whatever it turns out to be), you can be fairly sure he isn't doing it because he likes Farage. I cannot imagine Farage and Musk (and indeed Trump as a third partner) all being friends - their relationships are based what each can get.

 

 

So worst case, Musk bungs 100 million to Farage, Farage gets into power, musk starts taking contracts for UK tech stuff - NHS databases (information to be sold off to the highest bidder), Police, Fire, Ambulance comms services, non-critical armed forces data.... all flowing from the UK to a US based data centre... out of UK control. It would be quite a pay day.

Peter Thiel–cofounded Palantir will overhaul the U.K.’s public health service in a deal worth up to $413M—and people are worried

FORTUNE.COM

Palantir previously worked with the NHS during COVID-19, helping with vaccine rollout for a grand sum of £1. But people remain...

Thiel is already on that case, and he is/was business partners with Musk. Peter Mandelson brokered the NHS data deal with Thirl's company, Palantir, whuch also happens to be the company that bankroll  'Rumble', which is the platform that supports Bannon, Trump, Farage, and Russel Brand amongst others.
