Those on the right all the pundits and politicians etc received the same press release yesterday, to go out and defend Nigel Farage.
I don’t think there’s any point challenging illusions on this level. I mean, she’s convinced Nigel is going to ‘save the country’ — so what chance is there she’ll accept anything people have claimed about his youth, or anything former colleagues and allies have said? Reality doesn’t stand a chance.👇

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview.

He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997.

Farage would have been about 33 at time.

"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas."

A very moving and courageous interview. Vivid is the key word. Even though it was over 40 years the hurt is still there to see.
Farage has the brass neck to say his words weren't hurtful, the twat.

I have been listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social discuss children who can't or won't go to school.

His carers have covered many cases were children were near terrified of going in.

What it didn't touch on was the kids fear of being forced into a dangerous environment.

This morning, @mrjamesob.bsky.social is asking where Rachel Reeves should spend a bit more money, if she can.

Answer?

It should be HEPA air filtration in AT LEAST schools and hospitals.

Healthier people = better attendance = better productivity = better NHS.

It's a no brainer & net positive.

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Key points: Met police say investigation into other politicians is ongoing. Gill sought to recruit multiple MEPs including 4 British ones.

The judge gave strongest possible quotes about the gravity of the crime and the damage done to public trust.

Gill, like Farage's partner, was in financial trouble before being 'taken in' by him.

Both now facing prosecution for corruption/treachery.

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

I am sure @mrjamesob.bsky.social will be talking about his dad's old place of work today.

Specifically, how today's headline in the @telegraphnews.bsky.social effectively makes the rag unsellable.
