Re: YES! Farage Milkshaked

Both sides (on here and elsewhere) as bad as each other. Whether it's Farage refusing to discuss his "other" "policies" or people on here refusing to accept what "national" means, it's the same problem. Of course, it's much more important when it's Farage because he matters much more, but it's the s...
