FARAGE’S Reform UK is often portrayed as a patriotic, anti-immigrant party focused on controlling borders and “taking back” Britain. But a closer look at the party’s connections and financial dealings reveals something quite different.
With the demise of the empire, Britain’s capitalist class divided between those who saw their future in the EU, others that wanted to throw in their lot with US imperialism to divide up the world and those locked into local communities in the small business, farming and fishing sectors.
Reform UK represents those tied to the US, but its base is very much in the small business sector.
