Follow the Farage money!
<p><br></p><p><strong>FARAGE'S CRYPTO-BUNG WOES ARE MOUNTING & RIGHTLY SO!</strong></p><br><p>In his latest "The Lowdown" podcast, Nick Cohen talks to Peter Geoghegan, author of "Democracy for Sale," about the corruption allegations surrounding Nigel Farage and the Reform Party. Their chat centres on Farage receiving a £5 million personal donation from crypto billionaire Christopher Harbourne and being funded by convicted fraudster George Cottrell, with money potentially being funnelled through Richard Tice's companies. Peter explains how Farage's policies on cryptocurrency align with his donors' interests, noting that Reform Party has concrete policies on crypto deregulation despite having few other defined positions. The conversation explored how Farage's claims about being tough on crime contrast with his support from a crypto industry used by criminals, and discussed the lack of political opposition from Labour in highlighting these corruption issues.</p><br><p><br></p><h2><br></h2><h2><strong>Read all about it</strong></h2><p><br></p><h4><strong>Peter Geoghegan</strong>'s must read Substack is<a href="https://democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-tory-government-spent-almost" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Democracy for Sale </a> & his best selling book <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Democracy-Sale-Money-Dirty-Politics/dp/B08RF16N81/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1BOOH2A3B31FM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.96vLCk4fv0pqad0y99o39rwg54VLiB6-in4IhuLu3bICI2PbKzRzHbKOBVfO7tFVgeRQYG4lS0W3Y1bcpFgk3TRiLffrNALkOHaOKDOKTIdii7nIoFlbNCasQ6MpC6MLd0nlzeEXc4XbSuDvkEsVYdvaYHbJf-M51Emw9qrYSi4RVqLDEN-L9z5aiIjzao1acCaHbJ2v14wXYZRBj8sFrw.mgimj_h2wqnG1ysp3G5PvqTWmHamLAYNSXA_eRc_LOM&dib_tag=se&keywords=peter+geoghegan&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1735841583&sprefix=peter+geoghegan%2Caps%2C113&sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Democracy for Sale: Dark Money and Dirty Politics </a> is published by W.F.Howes Ltd.</h4><p><br></p><p><strong>Nick Cohen's</strong> <a href="https://x.com/NicholasTyrone" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@NickCohen4 </a>latest Substack column <a href="https://nickcohen.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Writing from London</a> on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The crypto bung by-election
<p><br></p><br><p><strong>THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA MUST NOT FALL FOR NIGEL FARAGE'S LATEST RUSE</strong></p><br><p>Nick Cohen addresses the mainstream media's missed aspect of the story regarding Nigel Farage's links to the crypto industry. He highlights that Farage received £5 million from British Thai crypto billionaire Christopher Harbourn without declaring this donation, and that his convicted fraud pal, George Cottrell ,provided gifts in kind for Farage's political operations. Nick slams Farage's claim to be tough on crime while simultaneously lobbying against a digital pound and supporting the crypto industry, noting that crypto serves as a tool for criminals and state actors due to its untraceable nature. He emphasises that journalists and politicians should challenge Farage on this contradiction by asking why someone claiming to be tough on crime would be soft on crypto.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Londonov - A class act no more
<p><strong>"LONDONOV!" HOW THE SLOANE RANGERS WHORED THEMSELVES OUT TO DODGY OLIGARCHS & SHEIKHS </strong></p><br><p>In his latest Lowdown podcast, Nick Cohen talks to Peter York, the legendary social commentator who co-wrote the influential "Sloane Ranger's Handbook" in the 1980s about the English upper class in London.</p><br><p>Peter discusses how London has transformed from an English-dominated city to a global centre for wealthy international elites, with properties like the One Hyde Park development being owned primarily by Russian oligarchs, Middle Eastern investors, and other foreign billionaires rather than British residents. They examined how American and Russian influence has disrupted traditional national identities, with Peter citing examples like Elon Musk's deliberately inflammatory statements and the US government's official security strategy calling for regime change in favor of European far-right parties.</p><br><p>Peter and Nick explore how the English ruling class has been replaced by international plutocrats, with British citizens now often serving as "butlers to the world" in various service industries, while political figures like Nigel Farage receive funding from wealthy developers like the Candy Brothers who build luxury properties for international clients. Peter reflects on his own political awakening and expressed concern about Britain's future choices between aligning with America, Europe, or other global powers, emphasising the need for truth-telling about the current state of international relations.</p><br><p><br></p><p><br></p><h2><strong>Read all about it! </strong></h2><p><br></p><p><strong>Peter York</strong> <a href="https://x.com/PeterPeteryork?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@PeterPeteryork</a> The legendary journalist, author, style guru & social commentator.
