The Ben Delo who has just given Reform £36m is the same Ben Delo who US prosecutors said was the leader of a ‘criminal enterprise’

But hey ho, it’s fine for him- and any other crypto bro - to buy British democracy lock stock and barrel

Reform's £4m donor "thumbed his nose at the law", US prosecutors said
Ben Delo has called his US conviction a "non-crime". Prosecutors said the Farage-backing crypto billionaire was a “leader of a criminal enterprise”.

So sinister.

You know when people say - but why did ordinary people in 1930s Germany not oppose the rise of fascism?

Well....

That is now. We're those people.

On the one hand, 33% is an incredibly bad number for Trump, or any modern president.

On the other hand, it feels like we’re in the middle of an experiment to find out how many Americans will support a dying, demented pedophile who frequently says he doesn’t give a shit about them. 33% seems high!

Worth taking time to read this excellent thread.
