This story more than any other disgusts me. Yinka was a little 9 year old boy Farage was a swaggering bully aged 17 We all knew those bullies at school and in this case teenager Farage was a racist bully too

Nigel Farage will pull UK out of ECHR. Tories & Labour Govt are also talking about getting UK opt-outs &/or changes to the ECHR. Thanks to Westminster the UK has no Bill of Rights - the ECHR in UK Law is our main rights shield - now Westminster wants to scrap legal protections on our Civil Rights.
