Spare a thought this festive season for those who will be spending the Yuletide period all on their own, with no family to visit them. People like ‘A’, who will spend this Christmas without any of his titles.

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future.
Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

Not sure how long Farage is going to get away with this sort of thing….
Long enough to get into No.10 where he can fully screw the country over? Or could he (for love of god) be investigated before then?
Racism aside (which should end his career), he’s just so bloody corrupt…

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

The only way these people think you can counter Reform is by emulating them.
Countering them with facts or a heartfelt defence of our humanitarian obligations has never been an option.

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.
Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

Swifts have declined 70% since 1994.
They fly from Africa to breed here, only to find we've blocked their nest sites.
A £35 swift brick nest box was proposed for all new buildings.
The construction industry lobbied Labour to block it.

HIVE MIND -
I’m touring my one man version of A Christmas Carol this December; got a bunch of dates in BUT I’ve got an annoying gap: 14th - 17th.
Been waiting to hear from some venues but can’t wait any longer.
I donate 50% of my cut to local charities
Any small (<100 seat)f venues interested?

So we're really at the stage where conservative politicians and pundits consider anything north of screaming proscribed epithets into ethnic faces as "not racist". But we'll get there on that behviour too, and our media will both-sides it when it comes.

“Farage has given two contradictory versions – one that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second one is correct then he has engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign.” – @goodlawproject.org

'Hypocrite' Nigel Farage didn't pay £44k stamp duty then blasted Angela Rayner
Last year Nigel Farage announced he had bought a house in Clacton, Essex, but in fact it was his partner Laure Ferrari, 46, who shelled out almost £900,000 for the property
