The Irish
have a name for shady wheeler dealers like Nigel Farage. They call them 'Gombeen Men'. Billionaire's, tax
dodgers, and Tory defectors, are the most unlikely candidates to make life
better for the working class.
Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, is a spiv and a speculator - a former public-school stockbroker. The deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, commutes between Skegness and Dubai where he lives with his tax exile girlfriend, Isabel Oakeshott.
One of Reform UK's chief fund raisers is a convicted fraudster. Baby Face George Cottrell, 33, was arrested by the IRS in 2016 when he was visiting the U.S. with Farage and other prominent British Brexiteers. He was charged with 21 offences including money laundering, wire fraud, conspiracy and extortion. He pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud in return for other charges being dropped and was released after serving an eight-month jail sentence in the U.S. A professional gambler, Cottrell was brought up on the island of Mustique and expelled from the exclusive Malvern College for illegal gambling.
Reform UK are the Alf Garnett's of British politics.
