2021: Boris Johnson, "The old concept of fighting big tank battles on European land mass, are over" 2026: Sky News, "Tank barrels will be produced in the UK for the first time in 20 years" My view: Boris Johnson, the disgraced former Prime Minister, cut the UK's tank fleet by 35%.

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russiaโ€™s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Nigel Farage does not give a toss about winning a 2nd election. If he gets into power he will Americanize the UK. Health Insurance will make HIM billions and the US billionaires TRILLIONS. He will destroy the UK and the lives of 99% of the people in it. And retire to the USA
