These people are idiots and liars

World would be better place if America and their genocidal colony fucked off.

Putins puppet, that he gets out of the permafrost once in a while to shill.

It's a fucking international cabal of dangerous nincompoops.

Fucking twat.

This is fucking stochastic terrorism

There we go. There's the millionaire man of the people we expected.

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 13 points 23 hours ago

This guy just supports any notion that can destabilise the EU and weaken the west. If he's not a russian plant, he's fucking excellent at hiding it.

Nigel Farage be like:

"Русске есть, my fellow comrades? I mean fellow British people!"

The world would be a better place if Greenland took over the US ...

How is it that this turd still gets any approval or even attention?

[–] AnarchistArtificer@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

It doesn't help that Labour seem determined to fuck things up. They have such a big majority that they could do so much to actually speak to the problems that regular people are experiencing that drives people to vote Reform.

I live in a pretty shitty area that has a high proportion of Reform voters. Our MP is Labour, but on the track we're on, we might have a Reform MP next time. Some of the Reform voters round here are racist arseholes, but most of them just feel so demoralised and unrepresented by the mainstream political parties that they are desperate for something — anything different.

Some of them actively acknowledge that if Reform won enough seats that Farage became MP, that they would almost certainly fuck up the country significantly, but they don't care anymore. They're so desperate for change that the idea of burning the established order down feels appealing, because even if things will get very shit, very fast, that feels like the only path where there's the possibility of hope for something good springing from the ashes.

It's simultaneously an irrational and entirely reasonable thing to crave. I can't say I don't sympathise.

What an insane position for them to take. It isn't the US there was more than two parties. Hell they can see that because they're talking about reform.

Just tell them to vote Green. Or maybe Labour if they get their act together over the next few years. There's always the possibility that Burnham will be in charge by that point.

Because there is no independent press in the UK. His masters will just amplify his message in one of the news outlets they own when it suits them.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

The BBC gave him more air time on Question Time than any other politician by a huge, huge factor, and this was when he'd failed seven or so times to get elected as an MP.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

He gets in the news constantly by issuing the most reactionary takes. He's got tons of friends in the corporate sector, because he knows exactly which assholes to lick. And his opposition is physically incapable of turning left, so he can periodically outflank Starmer on real bread-and-butter issues by saying "I'll expand the NHS! I'll be tough on the Bad Businesses! I'll fight for the working class [white people]!" while Labour just stutters and tuts and replies "That wouldn't be sensible."

The world would be a better place if Greenland took over the Untied States

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 3 points 15 hours ago

At this point, the World would be better if even Mexico took over the USA.

Could someone in England do themselves(and the world) a favor and shove a doorknob down that man's malodorous gob?

Who asked you?

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

The world would be a better place if Nigel Farage would fuck off back to swindling investors out of their money instead of swindling the entire British nation out of its humanity and democracy. Lying git.

Russian agents are lining up for their talking points debriefing.

When did we, as a civilization, stopped just deleting this type of parasite? 

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

When the media found they got more money from negative news pieces than positive ones.

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 19 hours ago

Fricking Farage.

Hey Brits, take a cue from Canada and shut your fascists down.

Got to be able to tell your right wingers apart. He's a fuck face but Doug Ford is not a fascist like Poilievre. The flu virus, deadly as it is, is not COVID.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 20 hours ago

He's definitely taking Russian money, so with any look they'll lock him up.

The problem is Labour are being a bit spineless and are concerned about the investigation being treated as a political assassination attempt. I don't know why they're bothering to concern themselves as reform voters aren't exactly facts oriented people and would claim that anyway. Frankly Labour just need to get a grip.

It's pretty poor showing for a human's rights lawyer I must say.

That guy looks like hes about to gargle some cocks.

N**el Farage is responsible for Brexit. UK would be better place if he withdrew from politics.

Remember when somebody cracked an egg over his head?

Remember life before you knew he existed?
