Grifters gotta grift, not quite trump levels of grift, but it's early days.

Yeah, can you update the title to as you have spelt "Grift" incorrectly.

Oh you lot are so cynical! the article clearly says it was a personal unconditional gift?

Who amongst us hasn't received an unconditional £5m gift without any strings attached at all.....?

Shame on you and your scurrilous minds

Should stop him falling foul of Coutts deposit minimums.

I really despair that so many poor people think he's the new Messiah.

It was to protect against personal attacks for the rest of his life. I totally believe that.

And then a few months later someone tried and failed to push a burning rag through his letterbox. I for one am sure that wasn't any kind of false flag to justify the donation (he was out of the house at the time thank god).

The man is as honest as the day is long and I for one will be voting for Refform at the next election now I know that he has more than enough money not to be corrupted in anyway.

Apparently it was the "Assault by deadly Milkshake" which prompted the completely unsolicited no-strings £5m donation from the Crypto Billionaire to the politician who strongly supports Crypto.

Wonder if we’ll see any changes to regulations surrounding the crypto market once and if he becomes PM?

I’m sure it’ll be a coincidence if there is…

If they let him back in I’m closing my account. Disgraceful individual.

The same Crypto Billionaire who has donated at least £22m to Reform. That's nearly 2/3 of all donations to that party.
He says he wants nothing in return, but Reform have been far more supportive of cryptocurrency since these donations started. Strange coincidence.

If the money was given to him "so that I would be safe and secure for the rest of my life" it should be pretty easy for Farage to show it was spent on security.

If I was looking to ensure someone was "safe and secure for the rest of my life" I might be minded to pay for security for them rather than hand them a lump sum.

Whole thing is a bit odd.

Quite right. Anyone with enough money should be able to pay to have laws and regulations changed to best suit them.

Cant believe the timing of this news. The day after the 3 line whip, and with the 3 rent Boys in Court, we hear about this...

Well spotted. The timing of this news is clearly the most important part of the story.

In fact the story was to be published Monday but NF when asked for a response referred it to his solicitors who requested further time to think of a response, hence the delay.
