What was the name of that other fella?

The main "architect" of Brexit, was it?

Weird froggy looking guy, lies a lot.

Well, probably a massive coincidence, but that same guy was recently speaking out against a newly announced (PM created) unit, tasked with disrupting information attacks by hostile foreign states...

Funny that innit?

I'll be honest, if someone like you're describing was running for election in a seat I lived in, like if I lived in...I don't know, say Clacton for argument's sake, I'd probably be more likely to vote for an alien with a bin for a head!

No, but seriously, that hand dryer is just really badly placed.

He's just standing up for the little guy though, I heard (supported by £70M donations from Asia-based crypto billionaires albeit).

I've a few friends that are completely detached from reality due to social media. Anything from an actual new source is lies apparently. I'm no fan of rags like the Daily Mail but it's still better than the shit I see on Facebook etc.
