Finding it so interesting the physical repulsion people have of Nigel Farage, “he’s going to deport anyone with an indefinite right to remain” (who are benefits), he’ll do all sorts of mean stuff such as not accepting illegal, undocumented migrants, and want to deport criminals and rapists. What on earth could he do in government?!?!?

But for me, it’s not him, but it’s about what has led to his popularity. A generation of people that have been lied to by the globalists pursuing their aims, leaving those “awful people who cheer him” behinds and forgotten. They want something different, something better and it isn’t even about him getting elected, but the small chance that the existing parties will have a moment of introspection and think, “if my grandma saw the policies I’m voting for, would she’d tell me to stop to being such a stupid fucking prick” (maybe my gran wouldn’t have said exactly that, but it would have hurt more coming from her)

Those people who are scared of Farage have been making hay for years while others in society have been served up shit. When I hear people spouting all this fear about the Farage boogie man, I have to bite my lip with these privileged “elites/protected” that just don’t understand the world they live in.

Cutting benefits? I call that returning taxes to the people who do the work.

He is not the boogie man, they simply don’t see the Fabian monsters who have been pulling the strings since 1997!!!

I credit Farage with being one of the people who made me realise many of the opinions I held were not my own. Rather, they were the opinions of others that I subconsciously believed were mine.

I was probably slightly repelled by him back in 2020, but found myself watching a YouTube advert for his newsletter after going down the inflation rabbit hole. Imagine my surprise when I found his financial insights and commentary, much of which centered around gold, quite in line with my own. I read it for a while before moving on, but vowed that I would always be a practitioner rather than a theorist from then on.

A few years on and I realise that much of what I thought I knew, particularly when it came to opinions on individuals, was actually subconscious programming formed from the habits of my consumption. A few thousand pages of David Icke later and I definitely have my own viewpoints, not always right and certainly open to change, but my own nonetheless.

I don't believe the answers necessarily lie within the political sphere, but Reform and Farage have done plenty to bring debate into the mainstream. He's Diet Trump at best.

Haven’t really heard him the sound money, although I do like Godfrey bloom! Building an understanding of the world behind all the political theatre is a hell of an eye opener. Tories, Labour, they just love the power they can from taking on debt, while the masses don’t realise what’s happening to them, gradually, over time, being stripped of liberty and purchasing power.

The great repeal and then maybe looking for a balanced budget until there is a plan to work out how to behind handing the value of citizen’s time back to them. 🫡🙌
