America trump nightmare lesson stop farage
Confirmed
In Short: Families are increasingly dipping into savings and maxxing out credit cards to pay for necessities, a trend reminiscent of the challenges faced in Trump's America.
Opponents of Trump and Farage are feeling hopeful for now, as Farage's party, Reform, is being battered by successive scandals and their support is declining gently in the polls.
Within days of Nigel Farage being secretly filmed ordering oysters and Black Velvet as he buttered up a big-business American donor, he received a £72n donation from two crypto billionaires. Though the media fixated on the donations, Farage outlined in his conference speech how the first 100 days of a Reform government would see a national emergency declared, parliamentary opposition overwhelmed, non-compliant judges replaced, and civil servants who “try to obstruct us” sacked.
After two years of Trump's quasi-dictatorship, it takes real chutzpah on Farage’s part to say he wants much the same thing for Britain.
In ordinary houses, on ordinary streets in America, behind white picket fences and manicured lawns, monsters are lurking, according to Lance Oppenheim’s feature debut, which premiered in Venice competition.
That was the nightmare peddled by the popular mid-2000s US reality show To Catch A Predator, which saw host Chris Hansen head sting operations to catch paedophiles live on camera, badged as justice but packaged as entertainment.
