'Hope Not Hate testifies, far-right parties like Britain First mask the extent of their racism & misogyny whilst out canvassing, saving it for internal chat behind closed doors.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 'Since 2006, Denmark has tied the official retirement age to life expectancy and has revised it every five years.'
