Nigel Farage has no shame, no honour, no humanity

What about Jo Cox and David Amess when he keeps saying he is the MP who has received the most violence and hatred in British history!!!!

Infantino must go.

No matter where it’s held, the World Cup belongs to the fans – not gangsters like Trump.

We need someone who’ll finally kick corruption out of FIFA.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Here I am slagging off Keir Starmer for accepting some free glasses. Because that is so much worse than accepting £5 million from a crypto billionaire or using the house of a convicted fraudster while he pays for my staff, security and social media.

[Simon Harris @SimonHarrisMBD]

Something that might have slipped under your radar. Sir Gareth Southgate turned down any sort of media work and punditry during the World Cup to ensure that there were no distractions or ‘media troublemaking’ for Thomas Tuchel and the England team throughout the tournament. He put the team’s interests above his own, which is what we’ve all come to expect from this thoroughly decent human being.

However far we now go in the USA, never forget who laid the foundations - someone who even after his exit is doing all that he can to help.

He didn't know what a red card meant but is an expert on fouls and misconduct in football

[Gryffix 🇳🇱 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @Gryffix]

Objectively the funniest thing the ref could do at the US - Belgium game is immediately giving Balogun a red card.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reporter: Can you describe your phone call with Gianni Infantino about the red card? Belgium is appealing the decision.

Trump: You’re asking me about the whole soccer thing. So, yeah, I did. I spoke to Gianni.

That wasn’t a foul. That wasn’t even an infraction. That was two guys running full speed who happened to crash into each other. You can’t properly place your foot on somebody else’s foot when you’re going full speed. No, these were two great athletes who got tangled up.

And this referee, who is a little bit suspect—if you check his past. I don’t want to say that because I don’t like to create controversy, but very suspect. If you’d like, I’ll provide you with his past.

He didn’t do anything wrong, and he’s our best player, or one of our best players—a very vital player—and they gave him a red card.

I didn’t know what that meant. I didn’t think it meant much. Then I started hearing that it means you can’t play in the next game, at least in the next game.
I said, “Boy, that’s a big—” You know, if it happened to another player, it would have been unfair, but when they take your best player—or just about; they have some great players—and say you can’t play, that’s very unfair.

That’s one thing, to penalize somebody for the game. But how do you penalize them for a game that hasn’t been played yet? It’s very unfair. You can’t do that.

So, yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man who is highly respected, and by the way, whose level of respect has gone up tenfold.

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The Belgian federation has released a new statement:

"After learning through media reports of FIFA’s decision to lift the automatic suspension of player Balogun, the RBFA sent a letter to FIFA requesting a copy of the decision, an explanation of the process that had been followed, and setting out its position regarding the applicable regulations."

"As its only response, FIFA sent a letter to the RBFA stating that it considered this correspondence to constitute an appeal, that a judge had been appointed, and that the RBFA had only a few hours to complete that appeal. No information whatsoever was provided by FIFA."

"All of this occurred while FIFA simultaneously refused to respond to the RBFA’s legitimate requests."

"Furthermore, during the match coordination meeting, FIFA deliberately removed the section concerning the automatic suspension of players from its presentation. This topic had nonetheless been part of all such meetings before each of the previous four matches. The RBFA questioned FIFA, both orally and in writing, about the reasons for this change, yet once again received no response."

"To be clear, as of this moment, the RBFA has still not received any decision or any explanation from FIFA regarding this matter. It therefore has no alternative but to challenge the player's eligibility for the upcoming match."

"Regardless of the sporting outcome of this match, the RBFA is deeply saddened by the course of events and will continue to fight in the coming hours, days and months in defence of the fundamental principles of ethics, fair competition, and the interests of football as a whole."

Here I am in happier times with best buds Nathan Gill, now in jail for taking Russian bribes and George Cottrell, who went to prison for fraud then paid for my staff, security and social media and let me stay in his house near Buckingham Palace.

[Ros T 💙🇺🇦 @blaze_ros]

@damechatprrr @mabollamedya Wow. Having seen that video your response is that the real tragedy is something you have projected will happen, based on no evidence whatsoever. Future blaming the mum.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Yes, listen to Danny - not a single incidence of wrongdoing. What could possibly be wrong about me deciding not to become and MP then being given £5m and suddenly changing my mind; buying a house for £1.4m after claiming to be “skint”; buying an £885k house for cash before saying it was actually my girlfriend who bought it with money she hasn’t got; claiming the £5m was unconditional, then for security because my house got firebombed, even though it was firebombed after I got the money; then saying it was a reward for Brexit and people only found out about it because the Russians hacked my phone but I didn’t bother reporting it, except to 'counter-espionage experts' who don't seem to exist..?

Nigel Farage stood down all 317 Brexit Party candidates in Conservative seats ahead of the 2019 general election, without warning

But why? And did Christopher Harborne play a role?

The story of social media’s problem with news, in two posts

[Sam @SamCKx]

The more I dig, the more I realise that Nigel Farage is literally done for. It's over for him. The £5 million bung is big enough to take the entire Reform movement down and possibly land Nigel in jail.

1) The fact the donation was made BEFORE Nigel was MP is absolutely irrelevant. Parliamentary Code of Conduct requires all receipts for the full 12 months before election. Nigel receiving his bung just a few days before he announced his candidacy makes it so much worse, not better.

2) "Category 5: Gifts and benefits from sources outside the UK - THRESHOLD FOR REGISTRATION Section 39. Members must register, subject to the paragraphs below, any gifts or benefits with a value of over £300 which they receive from a source outside the UK."

Nigel argues this was 'purely personal' but the Code refers to partners or families when it comes to personal gifts... this takes us to the next issue...

3) Christopher Harborne has a long track record of making SUBSTANTIAL political contributions to Nigel's parties, first to The Brexit Party, and later to Reform. He is a POLITICAL DONOR - any "gift" he made to Farage CANNOT be argued as personal or without political context due to this track record.

4) Using his platform as an MP, Nigel went on to promote 2 companies in which Christopher Harborne holds $ billions in stock - Nigel NEVER publicly endorsed or mentioned these companies prior to the "gift". Nigel also began actively pushing for policy that would directly interest Christopher Harborne and his business affairs. These were not interests that any could argue could possibly be of interest to his constituents - deregulation of crypto, and lowering of taxes on crypto gains. Nigel spent a substantial amount of time and effort pushing these policies.

It is beyond a doubt that this is the biggest breach of Parliamentary Code of Conduct rules in relation to donations in parliamentary history.

But even more concerning for Nigel will be that if it can be proven he was secretly incentivised to use his public office to push for policies to support a wealthy donor, then he should very likely face a criminal probe for corruption and bribery. I suspect Harborne might also be exposed to this. The United Kingdom and Thailand have a bilateral extradition treaty. Maximum prison sentences of up to 10 years for the offence.

This is not going to go away.
