Andrew Bridgen is a good case in point. Resistance GB yet they have a map of Ireland as part of their logo. Detail is not a strong point I guess.

He supported Brexit, with its campaign based on lack of planning, lies and empty promises, and then the Brexit deal which resulted in splitting GB from Northern Ireland and making trade difficult. He is part of the problem. Anti-business. Ironically they include Ireland in the Resistance GB logo.
Lies for political advantage are not just a UK phenomenon unfortunately. Only about 30% think Brexit was the right thing to have done. Now after the subterfuge has made going back too late. For the Brits it is like having to live with a limb amputated, which you had been misled about its being gangrenous.
Brexit and Trump are prime examples of conspiracy theories, lies and empty promises. NZ ain’t immune.

Personal attack noted. This Bridgen fellow has quite the past.
- falsely claimed his constituency had no rough sleepers
- Found to have lied under oath concerning claims he made about his family business
- Initially defended fellow mp’s statements that high rise Grenfell tower fire victims should have ignored fire brigade advice.
- claimed any UK citizen could get an Irish passport
- failed to declare conflict of interest on several occasions during parliamentary debates
- suspended from parliament for failing to declare lobbying interests and conflict of interest
- expelled from the Conservative party for his anti-vaccine stance and comparing the vaccines to the holocaust.
So it does pay to be awake 24/7 to be on guard against fellows like this. Trump-lite?
