Nigel Farage "man of the people"...as long as those people are tax-dodging, non-dom millionaires, foreign-based crypto billionaires and UK-hating foreign presidents.

70% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare, and there is a genocide in Gaza and Lebanon.

Fuck the Met Gala.

Yup, absolutely no politely intent at all behind those films

For people who cosplay crusaders, Reform goose-steppers really are the most pathetic bunch of pansies, pissing their panties at different languages, different hair colours and different clothes.

Your agents killed a mother in cold blood and called her a "fuckin' bitch."

Americans: We're so much richer than you!

Europeans: Thanks for your email. I'm currently out of the office on summer holiday until the 30th Sept.

Farage: "I've been the most physically attacked politician of modern times."

Nigel's physical attacks:

- An egg in Nottingham (2014)
- A milkshake in Newcastle (2019)
- A milkshake in Clacton (2024)
- Wet cement and a coffee cup in Barnsley (2024)
- firework through letterbox of his empty house (2025)

Other British politicians' physical attacks in same era:

- Jo Cox, Labour MP: shot and stabbed to death, 2016
- Sir David Amess, Conservative MP: stabbed to death at his constituency surgery, 2021
- Stephen Timms, Labour MP: stabbed at his constituency surgery, 2010
- Andrew Pennington, MP's aide: killed defending Lib Dem MP Nigel Jones from a sword attack, 2000
- Mike Freer, Conservative MP: stood down in 2024 after his office was set on fire and he received credible threats to his life

Nigel needed £5 million from a Thai crypto billionaire to protect him from milkshakes, eggs and wet cement.

Jeffery Epstein’s butler was caught in an FBI sting in 2009 trying to sell the client & victim list.

He told them the entire operation, 17 years ago.

And the FBI did NOTHING.

Marjorie Taylor Greene:

Donald Trump texted me that if my son gets killed, I deserve it because I was a traitor to him. I’d probably get put in jail if I released the texts. That’s our president. That’s the man who says MAGA is everything he wants it to be.

For the first time on record, more Americans are moving to Europe than Europeans to the U.S.

What do you think the main reason is?

[Joel Willans @VFinnishProbs]

I love the fact that J.R.R. Tolkien was so into Finnish he used it as the basis for Quenya, the Elvish language in The Lord of the Rings.

He said, "Discovering Finnish was like discovering a wine cellar filled with bottles of amazing wine of a kind and flavour never tasted before. It quite intoxicated me."

Minnesota has JUST charged white supremacist Jake Lang with 2 FELONY HATE CRIMES (5+ years in prison) for knocking over this ice sculpture. Trump can’t pardon him from these crimes.
Bye fucker!

Brigitte Bardot in Mexico in 1965 while filming the adventure comedy Viva Maria!

The city of Dallas tried to ban the film for being "too racy" and allegedly anti-Catholic. The U.S. Supreme Court disagreed.

Americans love banging on about the War of Independence. They’re quieter on the War of 1812. Here’s why.

In 1812, America declared war on Britain. The plan was to march into Canada and annex it. Thomas Jefferson said it would be “a mere matter of marching.”

It wasn’t. The Canadians sent them packing. Two years later, the British sailed up the Potomac.

American forces collapsed at Bladensburg in what’s still called “the Bladensburg Races” because of how fast they ran. President Madison had already fled to Maryland.

The British walked into Washington unopposed. They sat down in the White House, ate the dinner Dolley Madison had laid out for forty guests, used the President’s silver, then set fire to the building. Then they burned the Capitol, the Treasury and the Navy Yard.

A freak thunderstorm put the fires out the next day. The British left when they were ready. It’s still the only time a foreign army has captured the US capital.

You can see why it doesn’t come up much.
