Stephen Lennon is too stupid to realise he’s just a pawn in the rich man’s game.

Brexit shitshow latest:

“The poll adds to the mounting pile of evidence that….dogma about regulatory alignment has always been more of an elite obsession”

People want lower bills and less hassle and don’t care about Farage’s ego or agreeing with EU rules. Who knew?

Brits want Nigel Farage to step away from the Brexit shredder

Deranged ICE Trump regime trooper in Washington, D.C. points a gun at civilian bystanders for filming him drop it, as two other troopers brutalize a man in the background who is screaming "help! help! help me!" and "I am American!."

Richard Tice, "We've already got 80 sharia courts in the UK"

Billy Bragg, "There are also Jewish courts as well, thats part of their religion. We as a tolerant nation accept that"

"To demonise, particularly the Muslims, is the sort of thing we worry about Reform UK"

You know within 3 seconds this song is absolutely essential; the superb drums, that guitar, and the deliciously fast pace.
The highly intelligent lyrics, the emotion which is impressively raised even higher when Mike's fab backing singing finally starts.

Our politics and media have become viciously obsessed with immigration. Farage has made sure of it. And in that obsession, they’ve all lost sight of the people they target. Fellow human beings trying to live and belong somewhere.
Shame on everyone responsible for this daily inhumanity
(Letter,Times)

Reform's plan for a benefit clampdown
Sir, Regarding Reform's plan to ban foreigners from claiming benefits ("Farage visas would make it harder to settle in the UK", news, Sep 22;
"Time's Up", leading article, Sep 23), in my small company for the past ten years we have employed, on a yearly average, 32 eastern European people, two of them in senior management positions. They all pay British taxes and have had little or no unexplained absences to date. Sick leave for them is extremely low. As far as I am aware, none of them is claiming benefits for dependants. These diligent people provide compassionate care for their clients, living with them for a few weeks at a time. During the pandemic they were responsible for ensuring zero transmission of the virus to people in their care. I feel utterly ashamed that many of them will be reading about Nigel Farage's plan on their various social media platforms
this morning.

Farage is a fully paid up Trump-groupie. He’s campaigned for him. Worn his cap. And models Reform policies on Trump’s anti-minority authoritarianism, fossil fuel fandom and dangerous anti-science quackery.
He pretends to be on the saner side of the line. He isn’t.
Vote for angry prejudice.
Get chaos

When the most powerful man in the world goes about the place spreading very dangerous nonsense about paracetamol and vaccines, millions of people will sit up and listen.

It's consequence free for him but this is going to kill a lot of kids and make a lot more children very ill indeed.

Lib Dems: We have 12x Reform's MPs, can we have the same coverage?

BBC: But Reform has 2x your poll rating. If there were an election tomorrow, they'd be running the country.

Lib Dems: So you're putting their people and policies under scrutiny, right?

BBC:

Lib Dems: Right?

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right…
What a grim betrayal of our democracy.

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins

Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon being deported twice in 24 hours - first from Colombia, then from Panama - because he’s deemed a national security threat, just a week after he led a march calling for migrants to be deported, is the kind of schadenfreude we can all savour.
