Nigel Farage's attempt to be the UK Donald Trump is beyond pathetic
He IS a racist. He DID make outrageous racist comments to his peers at school and the BBC should tell him to bugger off.

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.

You might wonder how Putin visits India without being arrested as he's wanted by the ICC for war crimes. Unfortunately, India is a member of the International Cricket Council but not the International Criminal Court.

How many examples do we need?

Will Michelle Mone and others be charged/imprisoned for taking tax payer’s money?

It is so abhorrent that many police officers simply retired on a full pension and will never face justice. One of the even got a knighthood which I hope will be taken away from him. 97 families were changed forever. As for The Sun who blamed the fans !!

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

It seems to me that there is no negotiating with Russia to end the war. Putin is old school KGB and wants the glory of the USSR returned, ruling the whole of Europe as his legacy. It's like negotiating with suicide bombers though as he has no regard at all for people killed as long as its not him.
