I honestly can’t hold this in anymore.
Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are not aberrations. They are the same project, running in two countries, with the same backers, the same tactics, and the same end goal.
Both wrap themselves in flags while looting the country they claim to love. Both posture as champions of “ordinary people” while serving billionaire interests. Both scream about morality, family values, and patriotism while embodying corruption, cruelty, and hypocrisy at a scale that would have ended any serious political career a generation ago.
Trump has been found liable for sexual assault. He has a documented history of misogyny, racism, and outright contempt for the rule of law. He is repeatedly linked to Epstein’s circle, praised authoritarian strongmen, undermined democratic institutions, and treated public office like a personal cash machine.
Farage plays the same game in a British accent. He gets a free pass despite his proximity to the same toxic networks, the same culture-war opportunism, the same pattern of scandal that would destroy anyone else. Reform isn’t a grassroots movement. It’s a fear-driven marketing operation, propped up by billionaire money, bot-amplified engagement, and relentless misinformation.
Immigrants. Minorities. “Woke elites.” Trans people. The EU. The media. There’s always a target, always a threat, always someone to blame. Not because it’s true, but because fear is profitable. Fear keeps people angry, distracted, and voting against their own economic interests.
And that’s the real point. While people argue about flags and pronouns, vast amounts of wealth continue to move upwards. Away from workers. Away from public services. Away from communities. Straight into the hands of donors, allies, family members, and friendly corporations. Deregulation. Tax cuts. Asset stripping. Corruption dressed up as populism.
The most grotesque part is the hypocrisy. The people who claim to care about faith, family, freedom, and national pride are cheering for men who violate all of it openly. Lying, cheating, assaulting, scapegoating, enriching themselves, and laughing while they do it.
This isn’t about left vs right anymore. It’s about whether we’re willing to admit what this actually is. A billionaire-funded con that feeds on fear, corrodes democracy, and treats ordinary people as expendable.
If this is what you’re still defending, then stop pretending it’s about values. At least be honest about what you’re supporting.
@imjustbrighton_ Got nothing against people being patriotic but this is hatred dressed up as patriotism. The money used to put them up could’ve been used for helping the homeless or public services. Instead of blaming ‘immigrants’ for the country’s problems, look at where the money actually goes
The ECHR isn’t Brussels it's the basic human rights treaty Britain helped write after WW2.
Which of these do you want to give up?
• The right to a fair trial?
• No punishment without law?
• Freedom of thought, religion, and expression?
• Protection from discrimination?
Leaving the ECHR will not allow you to deport all Asylum Seekers, you can't deport a person without the other country accepting them.
But it will allow the State Pension, Minimum Wage, Paid Holiday, Max Working Hours, Maternity Leave and much more to be cancelled.

I'm "British people" and I'm "sick and tired" of right-wing fruitcakes claiming they speak for me

@Joelyn45205201@PopCrave Damon Albarn, the leader singer of Blur and creator of Gorillaz. Brian Eno basically inspired most of the modern day artists you listen to, Bastille, one of the biggest UK bands of the 2010s
@emeraldappul A Canterlot Wedding - My Little Pony. I give Shining Armour (Twilight’s Brother - who was brainwashed by the main antagonist) and Applejack (who actually apologised for not believing Twilight) a bit of leeway but the others should have apologised as well
F*ck off BBC posting pics of noted transphobes celebrating with flowers and champagne, like they've just got married. Is this ruling going to positively affect any c1s women's life? No.
Unions must stand in solidarity with those affected by yesterday's Supreme Court judgement and defend trans women and men in the workplace and all walks of life. 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
Jk Rowling could have used all the money to do something good or even just live her life doing nothing and yet she chose to fund a bigoted campaign against the human and civil rights of trans people.
NEVER forget that
I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.
We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?
Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity.
Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling.
The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right.
Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.
