@SheldonMiller I had this very conversation with my wife last night, we have the best league in the world with some of the best clubs and players

FIFA is and always will be corrupt

[Just me @TomSoede]

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.

Apparently the reason people are struggling financially in the UK is because they have subscriptions and buy the occasional coffee.

Not because rent has doubled.

Not because food prices have gone through the roof.

Not because bills keep increasing every year.

No.

It's the £3.50 latte and subscriptions right?

I could stop buying coffee tomorrow.

I could cancel every subscription I own.

I could never order a takeaway again.

And I'd still be almost out of money 2 weeks after payday.

The problem isn't the coffee and subscriptions. It's the fact the cost of living isn't keeping up with wages.

@airlie_bird @DavidCass_ They threw miles more forward passes than us, some of ours was line ball at best.

@fplbaidy091 Absolutely, I was gutted when we sold him

@001Oxygen I was born in 65 so I won’t count the 66 World Cup as I was too young.

I do remember the graphics from Mexico in 1970.

So I’d say I’ve seen 14

[Ska Guitar Guy @ScrivHull]

@pambizbuster My wife says the exact same thing, we often struggle eating out as she doesn’t eat chips or bread. Some places offer either mash or a jacket but mostly it’s just chips

[Ska Guitar Guy @ScrivHull]

@OC I’m 61 and put mine up in my home office

[Ska Guitar Guy @ScrivHull]

@RachelT1722 @lmcwitch @benhoobs As LJK states this was all done by the Tory’s, the Labour Party are picking up years of not just neglect but pure unadulterated corruption.

[Ska Guitar Guy @ScrivHull]

@OrevaZSN @hotwings100 Same here

[Ska Guitar Guy @ScrivHull]

@RachelT1722 @lmcwitch @benhoobs How have they turned their backs? I don’t see this as turning their backs against the working class

@CharIieBennett Gerrard

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

If he was willing to say “Up the RA” for £87, what do you think he’d be willing to do for £5 million?

[Ska Guitar Guy @ScrivHull]

@RachelT1722 @benhoobs Wow, really. Labour have always been on the side of the working class, you need to do further research. Reform have vote AGAINST workers rights at every opportunity. I’m working class by the way, this guy is nothing like me.

[mainstream @Nillo82948721]

Just like Trump is a fucking cunt, Farage is also a fucking cunt.

Anyone who thinks Farage is the saviour of the UK is just seriously thick.

Unfortunately this is how it is.
