The whole charade is starting to show; the facade has dropped, and the majority have simply had enough.
The shop window of Kent County Council has been an abject failure, and Farage rarely mentions it now, hoping others don’t ask him how it’s doing.
In Worcestershire County Council he’s now griping he wished he’d never taken it on and that “I wish we hadn’t bothered” that has simply shown he’s lazy and anything that demands hard work is beneath him.
Every council that campaigned on tax cuts has in fact raised them, some to the maximum or above. When confronted by this, he evaded, denied, and then refused to take responsibility for it.
He lost Gorton and Denton after predicting they would win; when the results came in, he said it was through cheating. When he complained to the police, they found no evidence, so he acted like a toddler throwing his toys out of his pram refusing to take the evidence as fact and going on to accuse the police of performing a “whitewash” because the enquiry didn’t go the way he wanted.
In recent by-elections where they expected to win by large majorities, they only won one out of the five.
In Scotland less than a week after announcing candidates, they have already lost five who have stood down, been suspended or removed.
Candidates elsewhere have been outed as paedophiles, abusers, fraudsters et al., proving they are not interested in the proper etiquette of vetting but the £200 they get from each candidate.
Since winning in the May elections, they have lost well in excess of 70 elected officials for all manner of reasons ranging from financial impropriety, racism, misogyny, domestic abuse, infighting, you name it this motley crew has done it.
Donations have been made through cryptocurrency that cannot be traced, but one company has allegations of money laundering. Now the government is banning donations through cryptocurrency, meaning he will lose a revenue stream.
Speaking of money laundering, one of Farage’s closest advisors was arrested and sentenced for the very same crime of money laundering.
One of his senior members in Wales is currently serving ten and a half years for taking bribes from Russia; he tried denying he knew Gill until a multitude of images of them together emerged.
At the same time, he denied ever meeting the Russian ambassador until an image appeared of him having a meeting with him in the Russian embassy.
He bought a house in Clacton for just shy of £900,000 cash, with no finance and no mortgage. He failed to pay an extra stamp duty of £44,000 as a second home and then went on to say it was bought by his girlfriend, who clearly does not have that kind of spare cash lying around. There is still no explanation of where the money came from.
One council caused uproar for spending £75,000 on flags while potholes went without being repaired.
Another spent some £6,000,000 on outside consultants while closing eight care homes at the same time.
Another has blown a £70,000,000 deficit into the budget since they took over less than a year ago. At the same time, paying £600,000 to refurbish a courtyard into an executive car park whilst charging council staff £4 per day to park.
Talking of car parks another has removed free parking for disabled blue badge holders, now making them pay in all council car parks.
His deputy Richard Tice has been exposed as avoiding tax to the tune of £600,000, and he himself has been exposed as putting his earnings through his own corporation to only pay 25% corporate tax rather than the 40% personal tax.
His constant trips to the USA rather than spending time in his constituency in Clacton is starting to show where his loyalty lies; in fact, his relationship with Trump is toxic to the public watching him.
He wanted to join in with the USA’s illegal war in Iran and tried to chastise Starmer for not doing so. Only for a week later, with his tail between his legs he U-turned realising it wasn’t a popular choice with the public.
He staged a walkout of parliament along with the rest of Reform UK Ltd.’s MPs because he didn’t like being held to account for trying to take us to war or voting against giving law enforcement more powers to tackle small boat crossings. It made him look weak and childish in the eyes of the public and he went on the defensive only to make matters worse.
He laughed in parliament when the Dunblane massacre anniversary happened. He wants to repeal the law on handgun restrictions, as he believes it was a knee-jerk reaction to the killing of 16 primary school children aged between five and six and their teacher.
He wants to repeal the ban on fox hunting to placate his friends in the establishment that he says he is fighting against.
Talking about fighting the establishment he took a private jet donated by a billionaire to stay in 6 star accommodation in DAVOS to fight the “establishment!”
Add on top of this, he now has to deal with an even bigger racist, fascist and all-round nasty piece of work, Rupert Lowe, and his party that is splitting the far-right vote, not only taking supporters from him but also his councillors and other elected officials who are defecting.
The bubble has burst, decent people can see what they are, and those who were once unsure are now sure and are turning their backs on Reform UK LTD. All they have is their die-hard fan base of racists, fascists and bots and bots can’t vote.
