Well, my mum has now become a war refugee at the age of 78, I guess! She is fleeing Tehran with friends to a city 1000 kms away. After years of living in the UK, Switzerland, and the US, she decided to go back to Iran a few years ago, & now she is displaced from her hometown, thanks to T-rump!

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:
"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."
That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
