Police have not named Tommy Robinson after arresting him. They would only confirm that a 42 year old, four foot tall, angry racist dickhead was in custody.

Labour's slow, sure
progress is an easy target for Farage
Home secretary Yvette Cooper's hard graft on the small boat crisis has to be seen to be working (AFP/Getty)
SEAN O'GRADY

Maybe everyone can agree on one thing: if stopping the boats was easy, it would have been done by now. Whether the home secretary, Yvette Cooper, ever deluded herself otherwise, a year of only limited progress in the government's mission to "smash the gangs" must have brought home to her just how intractable irregular migration is.

Just the same as Brexit, in fact, when he also made extravagant claims about how it would solve our economic problems, and then blamed everyone else when it left the nation impoverished. Now he's blaming the migrants rather than Brussels, and his policies - little more than slogans - should be treated with extreme caution.
Leaving the ECHR, for example - which he used to call "Brexit 2.0" before Brexit 1.0 turned out to be a flop - wouldn't change a thing over in Calais.

The far right will never fix anything. Ever. We shouldn’t need to learn that lesson again.

“It’s not that the remedies offered by Farage, Rupert Lowe, various fascists and some Conservatives are cruel and morally shameful, which they are, but that they are impractical and costly”

As Farage's star continues to rise I can't help but detect exactly the same mistakes being made all over again. In so routinely prioritising Farage's rhetoric and personality over the substance of his policies, actions and record, the British press is once again failing to properly hold to account a man who the opinion polls now suggest has a serious chance of becoming Prime Minister in just a few years time.

If that chance does become a reality then he will quickly prove, as Johnson did before him, how utterly unsuited he would be for such a position. Yet by that point much of the damage of a Farage premiership to our national public services, economy and global reputation will already have been done, with many of the same news organisations who helped to get him to that point, only belatedly bothering to point out why he had never been suitable for the job in the first place.

“Whatever happens, the damage that has already been done by the constant media indulgence of Farage and his divisive, inflammatory and outright racist views will take many years for this country to recover from.”

Yes. A disgraceful, unforgivable failure.

Brexit isn’t working, and the British people know it. They're fed up with the damage caused by the deal forced on us by Conservative party.

Keir Starmer must show some courage and set Britain on a clear path to a new customs union with the EU by 2030.

After having to pretend to be a Remainer during the campaign, Corbyn took the first opportunity after the referendum to reassert his anti-EU credentials.

Nigel Farage says he has never worked in a prison so he is unable to answer a question on prison policy. On that basis he will have no views on health, defence, culture, energy, education, farming, transport, law… or anything other than lying and grifting.

The British far-right, including Tommy Robinson's EDL, includes a fair number of pedophiles. But I guess that white fascist pedophilia isn't something for Farage and the British media to get worried about.
