Studies have shown that tiny pieces of plastic, which may originate from everyday products such as food packaging or plastic toys, can make bees more susceptible to bacteria and viruses. In turn, the microplastics can injure or even kill bees, and make pollination more difficult. wapo.st/3RDRRBO

Spread this far and wide. Farage is Putin’s fascist in the U.K. He is not interested in working for the people of this country. Quite the opposite.

This sort of negative campaign is like a centrist's wet dream. Look what happened with GTTO, a campaign based on electing lesser of two evils, and what that delivered. The country got the lesser of the two evils only to find the 'lesser' was just as evil as the evil it was elected to replace.
