Let me guess, the media covers Farage way differently than the rest. He is always in the newspaper with some non-newsworthy bs while actual policy challenges are not being discussed because it doesn't engage people enough.

Yeah, we have big problems with the media and the influence of money and Russia. How can democracy function with such an uninformed public.

If there's anything the Russians are good at is sheer propaganda and using right-wing politicians to weaken Ukraine while feeding their own citizens with their own bs.

Some naughty opinions in this thread, don't they understand that all of their concerns are just Russian propaganda?

They’re certainly getting a lot of free advertising from the BBC
