In the early 60s, the British Health Minister went to Barbados to recruit nurses to fill labour shortages in the NHS. His name was Enoch Powell.
"The whole Windrush story is a preposterous legend. Labour shortages in 1940s Britain? There were returning armies! The entire myth that Britain was built by immigrants begins with a demonstrable lie." @DrDStarkeyCBE on the Sceptic. Full episode👇

This clip from 2019 of Matt Frei asking Farage about Arron Banks funding his lifestyle is wild considering recent events. He’s not only walking with convicted Russian asset, Nathan Gill, but at the end when again asked who’s paying for it all, what’s his answer? “Russians!”
