@wokefinder Wow! Another clever GIF!Well done you! Yes of course, what bereaved family wouldn't want some knuckle dragging Scummer chucking a wheelie bin at a policeman & chucking bricks through car windows to honour the memory of their dead son? 🤡
@wokefinder@bottwater So having posted in high dudgeon about "the filth that is the Labour Party" "interfering with another country's democracy", on one occasion, response to evidence of Republican party doing so & even having a special set up, to do it on consistent basis, we have ... a clever GIF!
@unmasking_media@SkyNews@cathynewman Your post implies that if a journalist behaves in a way you consider unethical, Sky is somehow obliged to give equal weight to comments criticising a journalistic style some dislike & a swathe of vile misogynistic threats to kill her. No idea why they would, or should, do that.
@BrianTheGael@SkyNews@cathynewman Why do you arseholes always have to use spout this verbose, clichéd nonsense. s
You're not writing a f*king travel-brochure.🤡
@CarlDavies226@SkyNews@cathynewman She's a journalist. Social media pretty much essential to the job nowadays. And she's not objecting to criticism, she's objecting to death threats. Not unlike the "quite cruel" one a man got a 5 year prison sentence for issuing to Farage on TikTok. 🤔
Sky's @cathynewman interviewed Reform's Zia Yusuf about the murder of Henry Nowak, then faced a deluge of online abuse, including misogyny and death threats.
She looks at a small sample of the posts and explains why journalists should "call it out" ⬇️
@MittensOff Meanwhile the agitators of the #FarageRioters at the #FarageRiots are sipping claret in their private clubs, or on their way back to their Spanish villa, paid for by the same mugs who are now in court and soon going to jail (where they’ll be paid for by the taxpayer) 🤷♂️
Mr Walsh, your lad pleaded guilty because he committed a crime, and was caught on camera doing it. I don't care that he has no previous convictions or that he has a job. He should have thought about that before rioting. Let whatever his fait is on Monday be a lesson to all morons like him. Don't listen to those that incite violence, and don't get involved in it. #FarageRioters #FarageRiots #Southampton
This morning I asked myself, not for the first time, who is Nigel and I made some notes.
And it does add up.
Here is a man who sells himself as the ordinary bloke with a pint, the man of the people, the great outsider standing up against the establishment.
And yet somehow this ordinary bloke always seems to arrive with a camera crew, a donor network, a friendly broadcaster, and now a parliamentary investigation into a £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire.
Very normal.
Very grassroots.
Very “just one of the lads”.
The peoples revolt, apparently, now comes with lighting, branding, fundraising dinners, professional outrage, and a small question about whether millions should have been declared properly.
Everything is a betrayal when Labour does it.
Everything is “nothing to see here” when Nigel does it.
Housing? Blame Labour.
The NHS? Blame Labour.
The economy? Blame Labour.
Boats? Blame Labour.
A £5 million gift? Suddenly everybody must calm down and respect the process.
And then came Tuesday.
A young man died. A family was grieving. A country was trying to understand something horrific.
And Farage stepped forward.
Not with calm.
Not with care.
Not with responsibilty.
But with his announcement of “pure cold rage”.
That phrase matters.
Because anger is human.
Anger can be moral.
Anger can demand answers, justice, accountability and truth.
I understand anger.
A lot of people are angry.
They have every right to ask serious questions.
But rage is different.
Rage does not ask careful questions.
Rage does not wait for investigations.
Rage does not protect grieving families from becoming political props.
Rage looks for a target.
And that is where Farage always seems most comfertable.
Not solving the pain.
Not calming the country.
Not asking how institutions failed and how they can be fixed.
But standing beside the pain with a microphone, turning the temprature up, and calling it leadership.
Warm enough to repost.
Warm enough to donate.
Warm enough to vote.
But never calm enough to ask:
“Hang on, who benefits from keeping us this angry?”
That is the trick.
He does not need Britain to feel hopeful.
He does not even need Britain to feel informed.
He needs Britain permanently one headline away from rage.
Because rage is usefull.
It fills rallies.
It drives clicks.
It turns grief into theatre.
It makes slogans feel like solutions.
And while everyone is shouting, nobody asks the boring questions.
Where is the plan?
Where is the funding?
Where are the costings?
Where is the responsibilty?
Maybe that is who Nigel Farage is.
Not the man of the people.
But the man who knows exactly how to turn peoples pain into his own political stage.
The Reform & Tory Sitcom continues.
Same chaos. Different rosette.
Anger can demand answers.
Rage just sells tickets.
If this speaks to you, please add your comments, repost it, and maybe follow me — not for me, but because politics needs fewer slogans and more people asking proper questions.

A white man named Chas Chorrigan has just been jailed for life for murdering a Saudi student, Mohammed Algasim, in Cambridge.
There will be no political circus around this. No strong words from Farage. This selective outrage is what causes further division.
A building in Dorking, Surrey, has been demolished, and with it, what may have been the largest known Swift colony in the area.
Please sign the petition. Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner must hold the police to account for failing to protect Swifts - https://t.co/p8rUfrSOLx
