Swap the word ignorance for bank balance, and that's just what I'd ask Farage.

More a case of being paid for.

It would take something spectacular for that too happen. But talk of violence never helps.

Yes, let's turn him into a martyr for the knuckle draggers to worship his rich boy hate even more.

FFS! 🀬

For me, this is more evidence that Farage doesn't actually want to be PM.

That's a hell of a lot of tar you've got on that brush.

His speech is going downhill rapidly. He sounds like the kind of person he would make fun of.

He also thinks doing something good for your neighbour and community spirit isn't for the likes of him.

I've been running multiple drives in my PC for 10+ years now, and as a distro hopper I'm constantly installing different distros and playing around with things, and my windows drive has never been affected by it.

Mine is on a separate drive. I boot into it for updates every few months or so. It's so rarely used, I'm not sure why I still keep it.

The basics of a PC as you know it are all there. Yes, there's a learning curve, but if you go with one of the big guns, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, you'll find plenty of information out there. You can run it in a live environment or a virtual box to see if you like it before installing it on your drive.

The reason I started using Linux was that I had an old PC that was really struggling to run Windows 7. A work colleague said "put Ubuntu on it" and I had no idea what he was talking about. That was 16 years ago and I'm still loving Linux.

Nothing wrong with Ubuntu. It was my first distro many years ago. Always had a soft spot for it. Currently running Pop-OS which is Ubuntu based.

My mantra is always "use what works for you". Even if you need windows, use windows. Life's too short for crap like OS/distro wars.

Been running Linux since 2009 and never regretted it. Such a calmer user experience compared to Windows.

20+ years ago, I worked with a retired army sargent. He was with a unit/regiment (whatever the correct term is?) that Charles was connected with. He met him many times & said that Charles was down to earth & good as gold.
He didn't have nice things to say about the flunkies in his entourage though.

Is that a phone box just for Ronnie Corbett? And the butchers shop looks lovely, but trade must be difficult without a door to get into it.
