      No, he’s a lying toerag. He says that Trump won but he thinks ordinary people are stupid and will believe him because he’s so blokey. Turd.

      His gravestone will read, it was all the EUs fault. He can’t let it go. He is both talentless and an egomaniac, it makes for an annoying combination.

    Instead of trying to screw over our country any more, why don’t you just go and enlist?

    Farage presumably sympathises with the milkshake throwers, who only did so because they’d been provoked.

    On one hand, Farage is a massive removed, an enemy of the state, and the man responsible for irreparable damage to UK politics due to Brexit.

    On the other, if Reform is going to run against the Tories, there’s a real opportunity his tinpot party takes the Gammon/flag-shagger vote away from Sunak’s populist run as Tory leader, and in a month we see the Tory party get absolutely annihilated.

    Years ago, I said that it was quite sad to see that Conservative’s had lost their party to the populism of the Boris era, because many MP’s that wanted to see a strong union (bear in mind the full name of the Tories is the Conservative and Unionist Party) were expelled from the party and ostracised to make room for grifters under BoJo. While I’m no conservative, many voters value conservatism in their politics, and while I don’t like Starmer much either, he’s basically the closest thing to a Conservative AND a Liberal in major party politics in the UK.

    My vote is probably with the Greens this year, but in many areas Labour should absolutely destroy the Tories, hopefully to the point where they become the third or fourth party in the UK.

    Thought experiment if Farage had a come to Greta moment and because an environmental activitist. Would his fans follow him or would he be dumped.

    Does Farage stir the people or is he just riding the current?

    It’s always interesting watching the far fringes of left and right come to the same conclusions, almost as if the same person had laid the trail of propaganda pointing to it.

    Oh great, now we’re going to have a load of Putin supporting bilge from the right-wing shit-pipes over here now.

            That’s what you do whenever you’re losing an argument isn’t it you just invoke Corbyn. Trouble is he isn’t even in the party anymore, so it would be possibly a good idea to get another attack line.

                That’s a good point, your first comment was utterly irrelevant to the conversation but now you’re going to pretend you had some kind of point. I assume it’s “vote conservative because they don’t like Russia”, which isn’t true of course.e.g. Boris Johnson

                Please find a better argument.

            I hadn’t really heard about his positions on Russia and was an interesting read. Now I will think twice before voting him as an independent if I ever happen to move to Islington.

            Not really relevant here though is he?

              John McDonell still is. And plenty of others. Russia knows real well that they need to buy both parties.

      We clearly need to step it up

      Can we drench him in whatever stink bombs are made of? Or henna? Maybe litres of red food colouring?

      Something he can’t wash off

      Edit: no idea how I ended up replying to myself
