Do you hate Jews

Farage does.

After all it was Labour who crashed the economy in 2008

You should stop listening to whoever told you that - they are lying to you, and taking you for an utter fool.

 

[morqthana]

No, they'e said pensioners who's only source of income is the state pension may be excluded so if you have a small private pension you’ll pay tax on that as well as your state pension but don’t let the full facts get in the way.

Ramping up the Farage slander in the run-up to Reform winning in 2029 if not before.

Slightly off topic, but not entirely, I did chuckle when I read that regarding the Mansion tax for people living in homes worth more than 2 million, they went on to say that council house residents would be exempt.
