Farage is not a 'man of the people'. He is not 'one of the lads'. He is not your friend. He is not the solution to the problems that many people believe he is. See it, don't fall for it.

Farage has links to several groups with strong connections to the Koch Network. The Koch Network spends hundreds of millions to promote their interests of climate denial, fossil fuels, free-market thinking, lowering taxes for the rich, and deregulation through dark money.

I have written three articles for kentandsurreybylines.co.uk focusing on groups with strong links to the Koch Network, and Farage is mentioned in all three. These groups are funded by billionaires who care nothing for 'the people'. The freedoms they promote are theirs, not yours.

Farage has also attended events by FreedomWorks (another Koch organisation) in April and May 2021 and even tagged them in several posts on X.

Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right.

Her interview with me on LBC just now was chock full of lies. Calls herself a journalist.
Really I wonder how they sleep at night.
