“Please stop claiming I have links with Russia, or eventually mail readers may do some research and find out it’s actually true, which would be a first for your paper”

Presumably if he did try and sue them, discovery would be a bit awkward, given all of his pro Russia views and links…

MAGA’s number 1 priority is always keeping the manchild in chief happy. Therefore, anything which makes him unhappy must be bad. Trouble is, most things make him unhappy.

I suspect, given their namesake, they aren’t even right that many times.

Piranhas? really depends on which point it the boat is through sinking really. Maybe an evil duck?

There’s a well known link between higher education and more left leaning thinking/views. Which the right always attribute to every university lecturer somehow pumping every graduate full of left wing propaganda, rather than the simple fact that the more highly educated can see through their shit…

Also, presumably in this particular case, integrating would be “whiteface”. How dare they not integrate by being… not white.

Ahh, but he was an anti Brexit Tory who stood up for his beliefs, and lost his job as a result, thereby not a proper Tory… (and I mean that as a compliment).

jameselise160.bsky.social @jameselise160.bsky.social · 6d

Odd how he’s suddenly remembered he’s got morals now he’s no longer a cabinet minister (or indeed, an MP any more).

Oh, anyone got any other ideas? Nope. Well we will have to raise taxes then.

By doing them all ninetharsedly. Apart from being an MP, which he only does when he wants to submit his expenses

Indeed, although the trouble is she’s SO incompetent it’s helping reform too much. They need to replace her with someone vaguely competent to split the xenophobic vote, and spoil both of their chances

Bought! Now I just need the time to actually read it. I think I’m due a holiday sometime next year….

jameselise160.bsky.social @jameselise160.bsky.social · 11d

Of course. Hypocrisy and claiming your opponent is doing the exact thing you are actually doing are the two main cornerstones of the right wing.

Oh, that’s not quite fair, they missed out on”homophobe” after his (completely unironic apparently, given how many wives he’s had) speech about how only heterosexual marriage gives a stable family for children.

Here’s a novel idea for Mr Farage. if he’s so concerned for his own safety after being labelled a racist, maybe in future he should avoid being such a massive fucking racist/xenophobe. Just a thought.

jameselise160.bsky.social @jameselise160.bsky.social · 13d

Or…. Both. I suspect both.

Most of their supporters are either in the “I’m not racist, but” or the “if that makes me a racist, so be it” categories. Ie, racists.

ahh, but he’s spent a lot of the last few weeks saying how actual medicine and vaccines are bad, so he has to come up with an alternative. Doesn’t matter that its not in any way real, none of his promises ever are.

jameselise160.bsky.social @jameselise160.bsky.social · 15d

Well, that’s literally the stupidest thing they can do. No-one, in any way, wants reform lite.

It’s not going to attract ANY reform voters, just piss off everyone else.

Trump is hugely unpopular here, being as every single one of Farages policies is “copy what Trump is doing“, 4 years may well be long enough for that to backfire hugely for him. Hopefully anyway.

Because he’d rather do the exact opposite. His whole ethos falls down entirely if he’s forced to tell the truth
