    Nigel Farage is (was) the MP (Member of Parliament) for the Clacton area. He is currently under investigation by the parliament's standards watchdog after reports that he failed to…

    Why did you choose to lie about this today? I'm genuinely interesting – this is trivially obviously not true, so what motivated this?

    In the UK you get thrown in prison for making a slightly unfriendly tweet. Freedom of speech simply does not exist. "These days if you say you're English you'll be arrested and you…

    This is not true – the police cannot "simply ask anyone for their passwords", and your oversimplification has resulted in this becoming a lie. I would really strongly recommend tha…

    The EU made UK elections into single-issue ones? Obviously that didn't happen. I think you're just projecting, to be honest. The "leave the EU" side won; unexpectedly, with no clea…
