Sickening. The Marxist Bank of England is buying government bonds to undermine the brave asset stripping yeomen who make this nation great.

Not everybody viewed the budget as unfair and extremely high risk. For example, here’s what Nigel Farage thought of it.
Farage’s narrow view didn’t go down well at the time. And there’s a sentence that could be a template.
I’ve not even read the budget but I know by reading this, it’s definitely not if you are in any way struggling already! https://t.co/LAjIwF2NbX

Former Remain campaigner Femi Oluwole summed up Farage and friends.
People who constantly celebrate and actively promote the downfall of their own country are not patriots…
