82 seconds of Nigel Farage refusing to deny if he ever racially abused classmates.
He was a racist then and he’s a racist now. He shouldn’t be anywhere near power.
He was a racist then and he’s a racist now. He shouldn’t be anywhere near power.
![Quote from Guardian article by Peter Ettedgui:
"[Farage] would sidle up to me and growl: ‘Hitler was right' or 'gas them', sometimes adding a long hiss to simulate the sound of the gas showers [...] I'd never experienced antisemitism growing up, so the first time that this vicious verbal abuse came out of Farage's mouth was deeply shocking. But I wasn't his only target. I'd hear him calling other students ‘Paki' or 'Wog', and urging them to 'go home'. I tried to ignore him, but it was humiliating. It was shaming. This kind of abuse cuts through to the core of your identity."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xvmfn4sqxoxa5qjovw5tcehg/bafkreifxbqlortxolyp2jmm2ldtnulohon6zh7tvcajttjxuq4j6qzdema@jpeg)

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

Little reminder of Farage's pro Putin tendencies....
Hopefully some media outlets may take up @eddavey.libdems.org.uk 's suggestions to probe Mr Farage a bit more on this.
Is Farage saying he chose to support the wishes of a hostile foreign govt for free? 😲

China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not – by choice.
The UK is following the US model. Wealth concentrated in fewer hands. 24m can't attain minimum standard of living, real average wage unchanged since 2008, public services eroded, profiteering is rife.

In the early 70s I saw my first satellite. It looked like a dim blue star moving accross the sky.
Just now, crossing Leo (see phone snap) I counted 16 chained satellites following each other with separation of about 22 degrees (a spread hands width). I love tech but this is a problem for astronomy.
