Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.
It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.
A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.
At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.
Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.
On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
No, of course not.
Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
Yes, of course he was.
He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.
His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.
Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.
This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.
And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.
END RANT.
I like the message of Richard Tice (Reform) addressing a rally held to combat antisemitism. It seems to say, 'Don't worry, we're not coming for you, it's the other lot we're after.' Upon which, we Jews should be grateful? We should approve? Racism's OK so long as it's not us?

The man who is desperately trying to insert cryptocurrency into UK politics is now crying foul of a hack on his computer.
Like it's 1998.
Remember Farage's excuse for 'forgetting' to declare 17 separate incomes was … “I don't do computers”.
Pick a lane, Nigel.
If his online security is so terrible that his personal computer can be 'hacked' then I'd probably steer clear of him as an advocate for the crypto industry.
HEY DUMBURGER. MATH DOESN'T CARE HOW YOU PHRASE IT. YOU CAN'T LOWER BY 600%. MAX IS 100%. I.E. YOU ARE 100% IN THE EPSTEIN FILES. YOU STARTED 100% OF NEW WARS. I'M 100% SURE YOU FAILED 2ND GRADE. YOU DIDN'T WIN THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 100% OF THE TIME. GET IT? PROBABLY NOT.
You’re telling me:
They can locate the exact coordinates & kill the Supreme leader of 🇮🇷,
They can locate & kidnap the President of 🇻🇪 in an early morning raid,
They can locate & kill a cartel boss in the middle of a forest...
But they can't locate or arrest Epstein clients?
I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

Neil White, English writer:
Why do the British dislike Donald Trump?
First of all, Trump lacks some of the qualities traditionally valued by the British.
For example, he has no class, no charm, no composure, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity.
We like to laugh, and although Trump can be funny, he has never said anything witty or even mildly amusing—not once, ever.
This particularly bothers the British—for us, the absence of humor is almost the same as the absence of humanity. And with Trump, this seems to be the case. He doesn’t even appear to understand what a joke is; his idea of humor is a crude remark, an illiterate insult, or a random act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll, and like all trolls, he is never funny and never laughs. His mind is simple—like a bot running on petty prejudices and various nastiness, with no layer of irony, complexity, nuance, or depth. Everything is superficial.
Some Americans may see this as a refreshing, progressive simplicity and authenticity.
But we, the British, do not. We see it as a lack of inner life, a lack of soul.
In Britain, we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are brave underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.
Trump is the opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich boy or a greedy fat man—he’s more like a bloated white slug, a privileged Jabba the Hutt.
He breaks all the rules of basic decency associated with the Marquess of Queensberry—he hits below the belt, something a gentleman would never do. He especially likes to strike the vulnerable or voiceless—and kicks them when they are down.
His flaws are hard to miss, and the fact that at least one-third of Americans fail to notice them is shocking to the British.
It is impossible to read any of his tweets or hear him speak even a couple of sentences without peering into an abyss.
In fact, if Frankenstein had decided to create a monster made entirely of human flaws—he would have created Trump.
“A man without a sense of humor is almost crippled to me,” — Pierre Richard.
Those outraged by King Charles not delivering an “Easter Message” (which he’s never delivered before) & which Queen Elizabeth only did once in her 70 yr reign could, of course, pop into a church & listen to a live Easter message from the pulpit
Just ask your satnav where it is…
In honor of April Fool’s Day, a reminder to all the MAGA shidiots who told me to “cry harder” after the 2024 election…
He promised you no more foreign wars and now we’re putting boots on the ground in Iran.
He promised you $2.00 gas, it’s now over $4.
He promised you tariff checks that never came, lower grocery prices that have since gone up, and millions of Epstein files he never released.
He fooled you all because you wanted to believe a pathological liar conman felon gave a shit about you, when he never has and never will.
So, today, I lift a glass filled to the brim with your salty tears and I say, cry harder stupids.
Cry. Fucking. Harder.
