Can’t wait for the day Nigel Farage can no longer claim anything tbh.
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.
The said stone may smell of piss. If it does not, I’ll be quite happy to oblige.
Of course he does. He took money from Russia.
He should emigrate to Russia.
He can go help defend the Russian occupiers in Crimea when Ukraine cuts them off and starts hunting them down.
What an asshat, someone needs to throw another milkshake at him
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
He doesn’t need more victim cards to play.
I’m still fine with him getting splashed with food or other organics every single time he tries to speak publicly
Oh great, now we’re going to have a load of Putin supporting bilge from the right-wing shit-pipes over here now.
Falange has always been a Putin stooge.
All the right wing is easily bought
As easily as the left wing. Jeremy Corbyn loves Russia.
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.
John McDonnell is still an MP and still shills for Russia.
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.
Are you high? Or do you have issues understanding the English language?
Ooooo you got me there. Aren’t you clever.
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.
Can’t we dunk em in milkshake every time he lies?
Sounds like a waste of milkshake. We should be dunking him in something much less edible.
doesn’t need to be a fresh vat of milkshake every time… just reuse until no longer liquid
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?
He simps for Trump, Which tells you all you need to know about his followers.
I think the latter.
I mean, yes. But he chose to be provoked by it.
Nigel Farage should be considered, then, an enemy-agent within everywhere in NATO.
Period.
Are people denying Russia was provoked? That seems like basics.
Farage presumably sympathises with the milkshake throwers, who only did so because they’d been provoked.
There are too many stupid people who believe everything he says. More milkshakes please.
issue is his supporters will see milkshake and think left wing elite. We need a farmer with a muck spreader.
I think what has been enlightening about this election is seeing how many ‘own goals’ the Reform party are scoring now that they’ve been given enough rope to hang themselves with. It reminds me of when they let Nick Griffon on Question Time back in 2009/10 and he absolutely withered under scrutiny.
Yes, there will be a hardcore of people who are going to vote for Reform - maybe even because of gaffes like this. However this is repellent to the wider electorate. Imagine if they were semi-competent and just ran as populist Tories without letting the mask slip immediately. Personally, I’d be much more concerned.
The Reform Party is doing better than Tories atm. If we had a PR or other similar voting system, The Reform Party would get a lot of seats and would consume Tories. The wider electorate wants this.
Eh, they are predicted get even fewer votes than the conservatives are. The conservatives are due to get a pathetic number of votes for a mainline party, and reform are getting even fewer votes.
In no universe are they doing better than the conservatives.
You should differentiate between votes and seats, because FPTP. Some predictions say that RP can get more votes than LD, but even in the best case scenario with as many votes as possible they can only secure 4-5 seats tops. Tories on the other hand should have enough votes for second place, but in reality they have a very high chance of getting less seats than LD. There’s a potential that duopoly will shift to Labour + LD. But RP might become number 3 even with just 4 seats as they’re likely to consume Tories politically over the next few years.
i wonder what nigel’s h*xbear account is?
Oh the fucking gymnastics they’ll be concocting now!
This plank also believes that Trump won the election…
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.
Norm Finkelstein took this position, arguing that NATO encroaching on the Russian border was provocation. I didn’t agree or disagree because I don’t know enough about geopolitics to consider myself informed on the matter. His case was persuasive, however, if not at least interesting. I generally consider him pretty level-headed, so it was worth the listen.
Russia is the abusive ex-boyfriend that can’t accept the relationship is over. That’s also the reason many of the rightwing asswipes defend russia, they identify with russia’s actions.
Russia is the remains of an empire whose head is longing after past glories. It’s all about Putin’s ego and not accepting Russia’s role in the world of today.
Joe Biden warned of this in the 90s: https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-resurfaced-clip-russia-baltic-states-1997-video-1685864
Saying that Russia’s actions are abhorrent and also saying that NATO expansion has given Russia an excuse are two perfectly legitimate viewpoints to hold.
It’s completely true, which isn’t a defence of the Russian invasion. It’s just objective fact. Doesn’t take the responsibility away from Russia either.
