This is exactly the sort of electoral fraud we should be cracking down on. Not ‘family voting’ as Reform harps on about. 🤮
@
Just arrest mr harbourne when he turns up at the polling station on the grounds that he has been committing voter fraud
@
How can a Thai citizen be the biggest donor in the UK. The rules need to change, this kind of corruption needs to stop.
@
Yep ‘Gaping loopholes’ seems a pretty good way to describe them.
@
All of a sudden the news channels start actually looking into Reform. Where've they been hiding this past 2 years.

The reason why we have states and democracies is to STOP an individual 'buying' society so as to act as a tyrant, above the law, and a terror to others, especially the innocent and the powerless.
@
That it has taken so long for such poorly-concealed corruption to be revealed only shows how much of a free ride Farage & Co have received from the media to date.

It frightens me how easily a party managed to convince so many people they were this grassroots, anti-establishment, for the working-class, breath of fresh air to British politics that were going to flush out all of the corruption and improve the living standards of everyone. And all they needed to do was bang on about boats and immigrants. I don't think this will be the end of them just yet but I'm crossing all of my fingers and toes.

Congratulations Channel 4. - Our democracy should not be bought like this. It is NOT democracy. It is corruption. - The UK State has been extremely slow in defending itself and UK Citizens from foreign de-stabilising infiltration. - Make this illegal. - Ban donations. State fund parties. Make the bribing of politicians illegal.

The whole rotten scam is about to come tumbling down around Froggy’s ears and about time too.

Have we all forgotten why they wanted brexit? The main reason is that the Eurozone wanted to look in to offshore banking.Making banking more transparent
