    Trump's buddy Farage vows to make Britain great again in Maryland speech

    Well Churchill - and my grandparents who were child evacuees during the War (I'm sure you've learned about those) and a couple of them went to families who were pretty cruel to them - did what they did in order to prevent a foreign invasion of the country, and that's what Reform are striving to...
