This is the lovely Nigel Farage. The photographer gave him a message before he went to support the Boxing Day hunt.

He’d hate it if people shared this and signed the petition for a proper ban on fox hunting - protectthewild.org.uk/our-campaign...

I did not understand this: one of the five Europeans the US has barred from traveling to the United States...is a permanent resident who lives with his family in the US.

Now he is worried about being arrested and deported for the crime of monitoring online hate.

We didn't have as many Billionaires in the 1950s because we literally went through a whole ass Great Depression to shake them off the useful parts of society

The 1950s was LITERALLY POSSIBLE because we didn't have as many rich fucks hoarding their wealth and had to actually pay their due to society

At this very moment, foxes are being hunted, exhausted, and ripped apart by hounds all under the guise of "tradition."

Boxing Day is the biggest event for the hunting community, even though it’s illegal.

Share to raise awareness and help end this cruelty for good. 🦊

Every day Farage fails to turn up to work in Clacton or HoC he shows what a grifting shirker he is, the same as when he was supposed to be an MEP.

And he wants to run the country?
