I've requested a Farage Cameo for my step mum's birthday (a big one.)

Have any of you ordered one for someone else or received one, and was it ok?

She loves Farage😂

No they wouldn't be normal in my personal household particularly, I mean, Mumsnetters and their families are probably usually a slightly different demographic, but there are a lot of working class guys that are sick of stuff like the stabbings etc etc and all the related issues. They are part of the normal range of people and not usually rabid Hitler-worshippers or anything.

Bollocks! All the normal working class blokes we know aren't stupid and generally have friends and work happily with people from more than one racial background automatically, and are absolutely sick of the racists and NFarage and his pathetic supporters trying to hijack being working class and claim this sort of crap is anything to do with them.

They don't think 'normal' blokes go round setting up road blocks demanding if people are White and English, or that a 'normal' girlfriend would leave their kids at home to go rioting but take the dog with them to hurl rocks at the police and peoples property. Or that it's 'normal to have MIL's' who claim they only hurled rocks so that they weren't lying there for others to do worse with, and wasn't ripping some poor buggers wing mirror off, they were just straightening it!

Lots are vocal about how they'd far rather be working with immigrants trying to make something of themselves than the mainly workshy scum causing issues, and some of it may be misogynistic, but they have a lot to say about the sort of women involved who are now trying it on in the courts as to why they shouldn't be sent down, especially the ones who involved dogs and kids in it. They want them locked up!

Most have expressed strong opinions about the fingers of anyone 'straightening' their wing mirrors, female or not! Quite a few are in favor of the removal of kids and dogs from 'families' involved in this. Two I know have actively reported one rioter as being unsuitable to be allowed to continue home educating based on what she was seen doing after she tried to use her kids education as mitigation to not serve time. Conversation down the pub was firmly on what sort of education is he going to be getting? Put him in school and her in jail for his sake, was the general veiw.

Most normal WC blokes I know are disgusted at the parasitic scum who rioted and are particularly pissed of that so many of them turn out to be on benefits and their taxes are supporting them.
Most normal WC blokes here are busy working not falling for insidious bullshit.

What “related issues”?

If you think the answer to knife crime is Nigel Farage then you must be pretty thick.

most of them would have been 'normal blokes' . . . don't know what goes on in your house but if they're normal companions of yours, you may want to choose your friends more carefully. Or maybe not.

You are wrong about the rioters many of them were coordinated using social media. They are excatcly the characters that follow people like Farage, Trump and Yaxley Lennon who use it to spread their messages and ideology of hate and division. Then they sit back and let the ‘rioters’ do their thing and end up in prison. While they are free to do bloody Cameos!

As a working MP he should be concentrating on his constituents and Clacton.

Most of them would just've been 'normal' blokes furious at some things that are happening and also liking the idea of a riot and maybe free stuff. The amount of full-on co-ordinated activists in the far right is quite limited- most people in the protests/riots would not even know one EDL or PA member etc personally.

@ThatOneUncomfortableEyelash Lol, there probably would be a market for them.

How are serving MPs allowed to do this?

I imagine they're allowed to do most things.

I did wonder why she would want such a thing, and what Nigel's phiz would look like on one.

I obviously need to hone my AI image generation skills to be a bit less nightmare-fuel-generatey, but the bottom left one looks kind of close, if you squint a bit?

(Eventual prompt was, after many failures and many re-edits, "Antique cameo portrait brooch, with a monochrome white relief carving of Nigel Farage, in profile, on a green background". Unsure why it decided I wanted four of them intertwined, expressing varying degrees of existential horror, but I suppose it's somewhat apt.)

OMG, that's hilarious. Yes, the bottom left one is pretty good, not sure what it was doing with the others though!

Hai I got the Farage cameo. It was pretty good, he did some ad libs to make it seem like he put more effort in.
Of course, cameos of people are not really a present, more of a greeting. So now I'll have to get her a little present as well. But I can address her happy birthday from Our Nige Grin as from my sister and me.

  • Your Nige.

Have any of you had/ordered a Farage Cameo and how was it?
GCAcademic · 26/08/2024 10:27

I'll admit to being perplexed when I opened this thread. I was thinking of those nineteenth-century brooches, and when OP mentioned ordering a large one, I wondered whether the SM wanted to put one on her wall rather than on her cardi. I did wonder why she would want such a thing, and what Nigel's phiz would look like on one. Tbf, even now I know what a cameo is these days, I'm still wondering why she'd want one. And why someone who is so filthy rich would bother making these to earn (apparently) £16k a year from it. I guess it's part of his cult-building activity.

A Farage Cameo sounds like a mid-range family saloon from the 1980s.

Poor reliability with a flaccid gearbox.

LOL!! 😆😆😆

Aw well a lot of that is a separate issue but people can like Farage without being a full on rioter or thug (or even necessarily a racist as such.) She's 80 and doesn't get out much even to go to the shops. I don't think she's going to steal any trainers or anything. Smile

I don't think most of the thugs will be spending their cash on Reform memberships or Conference tickets to see Farage etc.

The average rioter probably doesn't even follow political figures and current events much except chatting down the pub/among their mates.

I agree.

And like others I wouldn’t want to put money in his pockets or in the pockets of those like him so wouldn’t be booking this for anyone, no matter how much they loved him

I'd get one. If it was a clip of him being arrested for fraud.

GCAcademic · 26/08/2024 07:19

I’m afraid I have very little sympathy for his constituents, at least not for those who voted for him. Based on his previous record as an MEP, it surely must have been clear to them that he was never going to do the work of a constituency MP. He’s a disruptor and agitator, not a worker.

My dd's friends got one - they are all people of colour and 17-18 - wishing them good luck for their exams and stuff. It was such an odd thing to do and dd could not really understand why we thought it was so terribly strange rather than a hoot.

Has anyone told the @GoodieMcTwoshoes it's a good thing or worth the money? I cannot Imagine people would actually want it, oh wait, the racists robbing corner shops, burning emergency vehicles and smashing their local neighbourhoods probably think he's great.
