Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.
It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.
A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.
At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.
Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.
On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
No, of course not.
Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
Yes, of course he was.
He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.
His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.
Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.
This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.
And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.
END RANT.
@BKNRoss@BillyReinhardt If Thunder just want future first round picks then the Nets controlled Sixers pick in 2028 is an attractive asset for OKC. But after losing to the Spurs perhaps the Thunder have bigger plans.
OKC don't have enough roster spots for Sorber, 12th and 17th picks all being rookies.
@Philopearl_Afc Especially when you have a manager who has shown over the past six years that he will play key players into the ground e.g. Saka, Ben White, Havertz, Timber.
Hopefully Rice plays a more limited role in the first few months of next season to give Rice significant rest.
@BillyReinhardt Steinbach 6ft11in + already strong + has nearly the biggest hands ever measured.
He is a dominant rebounder + that skill will translate to the NBA. He can finish everything around the rim + can score from mid-range. He believes his passing his underrated.
Demin/Steinbach/Mara!
@TomCantonMedia@Football_LDN Ethan could have provided Arsenal with the creativity which the team lost after February. Injuries are so predictable every season.
Arteta waited until the last month of the season to play MLS in midfield and like many people expected Myles was a revelation.
Ethan can be too.
There is no issue more critical for our broken economy than sky-high energy costs.
The real underlying issue is the eye-watering level of excessive profit being made by energy companies. It’s time to get a grip and rein in the profiteers.
The British establishment pulled out all the stops to prevent Jeremy Corbyn becoming PM, simply because he criticised Israel and wanted fairer wealth distribution.
Yet Nigel Farage instigates riots and they still court him as a potential PM.
Make it make sense.
You were part of a cabinet that armed and supported a genocidal apartheid Israeli state.
Spare us the crocodile tears.
No amount of revisionism erases your role in that. You’re complicit, whether you like it or not.
Kyle Kulinski: “This is gonna go down as the Epstein Class looting era in American history. When we learn the entire scope of all the scams and schemes and financial crimes and corruption going on I think it will genuinely blow people’s minds. The whole system is a house of cards and we’re systemically being looted by billionaire parasites led by the Trump Crime Family”
What’s going on in Southampton isn’t about injustice, it’s about male violence.
It’s knuckle dragging scum being incited into angry mobs by multimillionaires.
They’re bored, racist radicalised idiots.
@ErikSlater_@LockedOnNets What do you think about the Nets finishing the draft with both Aday Mara and Hannes Steinbach? Brooklyn's twin-towers and changes the outlook for the team.
Buy back Royal Mail, 76% want public ownership
It would cost around £3.6 billion
Put households on the board and raise the standards
This 500 year old institution worked well until it was privatised, it should not be owned by a Czech billionaire
