"I think it's quite poor that today you've used immigrants as a scapegoat for every single issue we've discussed"

"It's not a very good look for Reform UK given the racist stereotypes around them"

Who is the leaseholder ??

Farage’s constituency home. How quickly media interest in that went away.

Hopefully interest in Reform will drop away. After all they have so little to talk about

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

I suggest less about experience and more about being naturally right wing

Just shows where ignorance and naivety can talle you?!!!!

Yes. But not forever

Glad we moved from Worcestershire a year ago.

This has all happened as we approach crossing 1.5ºC permanently.

What happens at 2ºC, which will be crossed in the next 15-20yrs?

A former Hampshire county council Tory leader who claimed more than £15,000 in allowances over six months – despite failing to attend meetings in that period – has won a ceremonial honour for “dedication and hard work”.

"Having grossly mislead the British public over the supposed benefits of Brexit which have turned out to be entirely false, Mr Farage is now turning his hand to trying to remove the U.K. from the ECHR with rather similar statements that doing so will solve immigration issues. His speech was as shallow and incoherent as it was ill informed. It neglected to mention the benefits of membership or the economic and security costs of leaving. He trumpeted the benefits of the common law and Magna Carta, ignoring the fact that the Magna Carta was needed because the CommonLaw was deficient in curbing tyranny. The ECHR has been rightly described as the Magna Carta of the 20th century. It protects our liberties. But as he is such an admirer of President Trump who is busy destroying the liberties of Americans and behaving tyrannically against his opponents we should not perhaps be surprised at his actions." Dominic Grieve, Co-President, European Movement UK and former Attorney General

Yesterday's attempt by Farage to take the UK out of the ECHR represents a story we're all too familiar with; selling a movement as a lie. Remaining in the ECHR ensures human rights, equality, and a mutual respect across communities, and it's essential that we continue to challenge these lies.

They think that. so much of the world is British.
I wonder how they will cope when they get reality 🤨🤨

Isabel Oakshot article in the telegraph, saying “I got so sick of the UK I had to leave” then going onto bitch and moan about you guessed it… migrants

Only the bigoted, racist far right are so pig thick sh*t that they can’t see the irony of stating

“I got so sick of migrants, I immigrated to Dubai to get away from all the bloody foreigners”❗️

Or words to that effect.. as per #PlasticJournalist Isabel Oakshott’s article.. 🙄🙄🤦🏼‍♂️

"Kemi Badenoch’s mother, Feyi Adegoke, travelled from Nigeria to the United Kingdom specifically for medical treatment and gave birth to Kemi at St Teresa’s Maternity Hospital in Wimbledon – just a year before Britain ended automatic birth‑right citizenship in 1981."

And yet didn't her mother pop over to the UK to give birth to her there?

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

- Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army

Watch: Lib Dems MPs heckle Nigel Farage as he presents ECHR bill Watch: Lib Dem MPs take on Farage in parliament

Dozens of MPs had to be treated for shock this afternoon after Nigel Farage actually turned up in HOP❗️

As of July he’d spoken less times than any other leader at just 45 times. Badenoch had 226 times, 97 Ed Davey, 152 & 86 respectively for Carla Denyer & Adrian Ramsay

As it was, he tanked❗️😂🤣
