Farage-Linked Gold Firm Predicts Riots and Unrest Under Reform Government

Direct Bullion, a gold firm that has paid Nigel Farage over £400,000 for brand ambassador work, released a promotional video warning of "political violence" if his own party wins power. The marketing material uses the prospect of widespread civil unrest as a reason for viewers to buy gold, effectively monetizing the political instability associated with Farage.
