If I were Nigel Farage I would probably avoid waging war with the BBC seeing as they're his main backers.

Most people think when the world gets itself together, we'll all be okay. I don't see that situation arriving. I think one by one, we all free ourselves from the chains we have chained ourselves to. - George Harrison

Nigel Farage's boycotts are like Ernie Wise plays. He's already announced three this morning.

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising”

More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor.
It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.

While it's still fairly difficult to prove a negative...
Releasing the Epstein files would show who isn't in them, by showing who *is* in them. Might not be entirely conclusive, but it *would* be extremely strong circumstantial evidence.

It's probably past time to expect any mainstream media to call out this crazy ass shit.
We need to keep sharing it to make sure it's being seen.

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:
"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."
That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

As we watch the Christmas appeals on TV for homeless charities, a political leader talking about the issue is very welcome. In the 6th largest economy nobody should live on the streets.

Will someone ever put that on a fucking bus, with Farage’s gurning face next to it, and drive it up and down the country?
Brexit costs the government around £90bn.
Without Brexit we could have tax cuts and spending increases. We would have hope & optimism, not gloom & despair.
Brexit harms the British people, especially the poor & vulnerable. No politician can support Brexit and claim to care for ordinary people.
