There has never, ever been a better version of Jerusalem. The only version that conveys the true meaning. (It also makes me cry).

If multiple people can remember someone being horribly racist, even by the appalling low bar of the racist 1970s, that is entirely noteworthy.
As an adult Farage fanboyed Enoch Powell - the most infamous racist of the 1960s - and long cited him as his political hero.
And that's noteworthy too.

Yes Farage is a racist, we all know this, the public don’t care.
They may care if they think he’s sympathetic to Putin or that he avoided tax when buying a home in Clacton?
Let’s concentrate on getting the media to ask those questions?

Most companies holed up in Gibraltar & Malta, dodge UK taxes. Some pay corporation tax at the rate of 3%-4%. No VAT on gambling.

All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.
It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game
