🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage has deleted a post using Andy Burnham's portrait after the artist launched legal action for using it to push "anti-immigration" messaging

Stanley Chow: "My work has been used without permission to share a message that I fundamentally disagree with"

[Miss K @Strudders68]

@ScouserTommyx @DaddyCoffee73 @RobKenyonReform @Nigel_Farage And you’re not a woman, you have no idea. Full stop.

[Miss K @Strudders68]

This! This is the two tier crisis we have; our media. It’s dangerous and the more extreme it becomes the more we should open our eyes to what is happening in the world today.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

The real two-tier scandal in the UK is the relentless double standard approach of a media which lets one party leader get away with financial dodgery that would drive them into a frenzy if it involved someone their billionaire owners didn’t want in power because they believed in things like fairness and equality

[Miss K @Strudders68]

@ScouserTommyx @DaddyCoffee73 @RobKenyonReform @Nigel_Farage It’s not just banter! The vast majority of women find it disgusting. And yes I do take it seriously, in the same way I take the death threats against this female journalist seriously. Says so much about you that you think that’s ok.

[Miss K @Strudders68]

@Mist_1985 @Aaqqaaqaaqqww Just had a look and you’re a racist who supports a soda shagger. Blocked.

[Miss K @Strudders68]

@Mist_1985 @Aaqqaaqaaqqww What a ridiculous comment. In primary school as children learn about relationships they can & should be taught that a safe loving relationship can be with someone of the same sex.
Who said that parenting was only about sexuality? Family life is diverse. You seem scared by that

[Miss K @Strudders68]

@ScouserTommyx @DaddyCoffee73 @RobKenyonReform @Nigel_Farage It’s not funny. It’s disgusting and misogynistic.

[Miss K @Strudders68]

@Mist_1985 @Aaqqaaqaaqqww Yes as 3 in 10 will be gay. Some will have gay parents. It is ok. Nobody is describing the mechanics just the fact that people can love other people.

[Just me - Thomas @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.

@OppressedGuyUK @lancelachlan My mistake! 🙄

@Nigel_Farage @RobKenyonReform

[Miss K @Strudders68]

@OppressedGuyUK @lancelachlan That’s from 2006 ffs!

[Miss K @Strudders68]

@furbabygirl @LBC @AndyHughesCrime What an absolute idiot you are! Her son’s name has been dragged into it, especially Kemi Badenoch! Baroness Lawrence wants the opposite. For him to be left out of it!!

We spent three hours walking around Hindley and couldn’t find a single woman voting Reform https://t.co/aQAUFevirr

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Why did the BBC describe rioters in Southampton last night as ‘protestors’. They weren’t protestors, they were rioters. Where has the BBC's objectivity gone? Why can't they tell the truth?

[Miss K @Strudders68]

For God’s sake, please wake up Britain! ⬇️

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

"I hope on behalf of those two officers legal action will be taken, otherwise it's the wild west."

@LordBlunkett calls for legal action against Elon Musk, after he linked the wrong police officer - who has now gone into hiding - to Henry Nowak's arrest.

@maitlis | @jonsopel

[Bushra Shaikh @Bushra1Shaikh]

Henry Nowak's mother has said:

"We are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. We want his memory to help bring our society together."

And there you have it.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Henry Nowak’s family were invited to No. 10, where they met Keir Starmer, and they also had a meeting with Kemi Badenoch.

Reform UK reached out to them, but no meeting has been scheduled.

Why would they, Nigel Farage, ignored Henry’s father’s plea not to use his son’s death to sow division or exploit the tragedy for political gain.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

“Quiet anger is good, you can turn quiet anger into a positive, as opposed to rage, which never leads to anything good”

This you, @Nigel_Farage ?

Well this is all a bit awkward, isn’t it?
