I really cannot understand why yet again, a known arsehole is believed, at all, against a wealth of witnesses and lived experiences.

Even today there's still a strong social tendency to favour confident, loudmouthed, middle-aged white men in suits.

This is sadly a truth. I cannot understand it, but we can observe it daily.

Farage voters like him because he's racist.

That's why his weak and pathetic excuses work. They want to be told it's OK to be racist.

That's why they get so cross at people who call them racist as a criticism. That threatens their whole thing. If they don't get away with the racism they lose all their power and influence.
