Silicon Bites Ep336 | 2026-05-11 | The UK is falling – how a two-party system built over a century is cracking apart in real time — and why the architect of the wreckage is now the frontrunner to run it. You’re not worried yet? You should be. An alleged grifter and fraud is about to take the UK to a dark place, and the implications for Ukraine and European security are huge. This grifter is Nigel Farage, and huge dark money forces have allegedly helped build his political platform over decades, and he has a history of repeating moronic Kremlin’s narratives. His colleague was jailed for being paid to do the same in the EU parliament. The UK’s mini-Trump is on the way, brace, brace, brace. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.
