@afneil There are 16 year-olds who are far more highly educated and equipped to vote than many adults - especially the morons who fall for the lies of Nigel Farage and Reform.
Reform is stumbling harder than anyone expected.
Their local election victories were a brief flash of glory. But the reality of governing has quickly exposed their inexperience.
5 early failures:
Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵
@JohnOdermatt@JoshEakle No - just when a Nazi salute is a Nazi salute unless you want to pretend it’s a *Roman one* and demonstrate you know nothing of history. Bannon is a fascist. He is making a Nazi salute. Don’t be complicit in Nazism by trying to excuse it.
@technocapt @MarinaPurkiss So just let Putin get away with invading a sovereign country, causing needless deaths of 1m+ people + the destruction of a country? He needs to pay for what he’s done - he’s a war criminal - not be suckered up to, essentially given what he wants. How does that deter psychopaths?
Nigel Farage is the son of a stock broker.
He went to Dulwich College, a private school. He worked trading commodities, then banking until the early 2000’s.
He was a Conservative from his early school days until 1992.
He prefers wine to beer, and mainly drinks beer for the public image. He enjoys sipping champagne at Lords, and is a member of the MCC.
He banks at Coutts.
He’s a member of the private members club 5 Hertford Street.
Here he is on the front cover of the Daily Telegraph with the gentry and their horses and hounds at the Boxing Day Hunt that he attends each year.
Now tell us he’s not part of the establishment.
@Byehorse@TheTorbayWeekly@TUFC1899 Jim Parker perhaps is trying to save face after his sycophantic “exclusive” interview with the shark that was Clarke Osborne. Parker was fooled and hoodwinked. Doesn’t want to admit he was being stupid.
