This is a great piece and really important because Farage knows that his fascist REFORM party isn't competent enough to run an ice cream cart let alone a country. His long term plan might be to stuff a Reform government full of unelected hedge fund bosses and crypro currency dealers much as in Cecil King's vision of a "businessman's government" during the military coup plot against Harold Wilson.

My point is that it is not enough to stop the money unless committee members are also trained in unbiased decision making and transparency.
