That's because we get our checks from George Soros.

He tells us what to say, of course, all the time.

I don't think we can think that we are immune from the rise of such populism.

And I think, you know, we saw a bit of this during the fuel protests.

If you delved into what some of the people associated with those movements were saying, there was this real undercurrent of some of those tropes that Farage would use, you know, the anti-immigration, for example.

And not not not really based in any fact was all very, very much a motive because, you know, people are feeling the pinch and you will have people trying to capitalise on that.

And I think we have seen some some kind of cross contamination with some well-known agitators, particularly when it comes to anti-immigration, who are very active in the UK, who try and then coalesce with similar agitators in Ireland to try and amplify this anti-immigration agitation.

Yes, I think in the Irish context, for example, I think there has been a real shift under Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan, where you see that immigration is no longer trending as the top, one of the top issues when people are asked about it.

The UK have a much more challenging situation that they fail to get on top of.

And of course, they have the issue of being discriminated.

much closer geographically to France, and we know all about the small boats and things like that.

That is a big issue there.
