We have a government that is doing horrendously in the polls, and Nigel is fitting into that in providing the commentary for the public.
And, Steve, it's crazy.
If we had an election today...
In the UK, if we had an election today, Nigel Farage with Reform UK would go from six MPs to 315, I think.
Just six or eight seats short of a majority.
He has done a phenomenal job on engaging with the public.
He did it with Brexit, with the Brexit vote.
He has done it at the moment with British politics in terms of a parliamentary system.
And although he only has six MPs, he is hitting the ball so high in relation to the Conservative Party that are just part of the Uni Party.
So you've got that.
And then, of course, today you have, as you mentioned, that horrendous attack.
on a synagogue up in the northwest of England, up in Manchester, a big synagogue, five, 700-person synagogue.
It was full at the time.
And you had an attacker that rammed the synagogue and then went out, seemingly with an explosive vest, wanting to blow up that synagogue.
The police came within seven minutes.
I've never known the police to come in such a quick time, but they did their job.
fair Jews to them.
They responded and took out the attacker, shot him.
He's been shot dead.
I understand the rabbi of the synagogue had locked the doors to make sure they were protected.
