And there we have it
The man who has not bothered to vote in Parliament since March 18th
The man who has essentially disappeared from view for 3 weeks - terrified of questions
Puts on a performative political act for the camera's at 12.26pm
By 3.26pm he is off in a swanky club - so the Parliament appearance as ever was pure show for the camera's as he knew his Party had a question
Smashed car windows. Bricks littering the streets. Families left clearing up the mess after a night of chaos in Southampton.
This wasn't done in Henry Nowak's name. Associating this destruction with Henry or his family's memory is an insult.
This was the work of Farage and his mob of thugs who seized the chance to riot while pretending to be the victims.

49ers General Manager John Lynch said at a Tuesday press conference that Adofo-Mensah is joining the team as a personnel executive. The Vikings fired Adofo-Mensah in January after four seasons with the team.

The Trump playbook on full display from Farage.
Incite violence then pretend you had nothing to do with it.
Helps to distract from questions about a ยฃ5m crypto bung too.

"Violence doesn't just spill onto the streets, it emerges when people like him incite it."
Nigel Farage didn't call for riots over the death of Henry Nowak โ he just said everyone should feel "cold pure rage". Has he perfected his right-wing dogwhistle?

*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP*
Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace โ all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing โ not once, ever.
I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility โ for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is โ his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults โ he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff โ the Queensberry rules of basic decency โ and he breaks them all. He punches downwards โ which a gentleman should, would, could never do โ and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female โ and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority โ perhaps a third โ of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
โข Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are.
โข You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws โ he would make a Trump.
@KimCarolC@tennis_ten10@MaryCreagh_ It wasn't Police actions that were affected by DEI policies in Manchester bombing or Southport killings ( It was other Agencies )
@tennis_ten10@KimCarolC@MaryCreagh_ Please give other examples where Police DEI policies have allegedly caused death ?
Rage is a complex, intense emotion characterized by violent, uncontrollable anger, wrath, or a loss of self-control.
By definition - Rage is not focused & controlled

If youโre White living in England which is over 80% White and you genuinely think there is an anti-white campaign against the White population by institutions that are predominantly run by White people I genuinely do not know what to sayโฆ
โฆ Other than get off social media
Well done @BBCNews@BBCPolitics for playing your part in the latest #FarageRiots
Platforming Reform all day across BBC output, Zia Yusuf, Matt Goodwin and clips of Farage.
@Ofcom@lisanandy youโre supposed to regulate the media. Youโre failing us.

Farage at #PMQs today, the first time heโs shown his face in Parliament for months. I suspect he may regret it. He was absolutely slated for failing to condemn the violence in Southampton, for ignoring the appeal made by Henry Nowakโs father, and for using his sonโs death to stir up hate and division. #Farage #FarageRiots #PMQs
