Racist graffiti and swastikas popping up around the country, but those half mast flags on lampposts look lovely

I think it is a shame. As much support as possible should be given to enable Yaxley-Lennon to start a new party.
Splitting the far right vote sounds like a good plan to me.

Farage asked on LBC whether he agreed with on the unproven link between paracetamol and autism

“I have no idea... We were told thalidomide was a v safe drug and it isn’t. who knows. I don’t know, you don’t know…when it comes to science I don’t side with anybody. It’s never settled.”

So he is still sucking up to 🍊

JFC.

What an absolute grifter.

If you haven't read any study on the topic, don't comment.

If you have read a study and you disagree with its conclusions, explain why.

Don't pretend you are not commenting and then comment.

Be fucking accountable.

If nothing else he could have referred them to our own public health officials' advice.

It's the tired and old experts don't matter from Brexit. Demonstrates how little Fartage has moved on. Same old, same old.

We've all had enough of experts

Lib Dems continuing to get under Farage's skin

Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Helen Morgan:

"Nigel Farage wants to impose Trump's dangerous anti-science agenda here in the UK. Peddling this kind of nonsense is irresponsible and wrong.

"It seems Farage would rather see pregnant women suffer in pain than stand up to his idol Donald Trump."

Thanks for that, just got rid of those stupid labels

I think I have the attention span of an Amoeba as when I first read your post, I didn't know what you meant by the colour reset, maybe Mumsnet have changed it to appeal to the likes of me! 😂

Yes- good!

Is he allowed, as a serving MP, to comment adversely on the gov’t position on health, I think it’s different to migrant policy myself - it’s people’s Lives?
Probably sneakily ambiguous enough
I do think he stretches the ‘traitor’ definition to its absolute limits at times though.

I have my usual green and pink back!

I didn't think Farage could disappoint me. But here we are.

OK, so we'll have a range of views on this but we have no political ambitions. But someone needs to ask Nige now if binary sex and gender is settled science. Gotcha, Nigel.

I expect he will follow the Trump line on that too.

Royal Parks says there's no evidence to back Farage's claim their swans being eaten by migrants

The Royal Parks have rejected a claim from Nigel Farage that migrants are killing and eating swans from their grounds.

The Reform UK leader made the assertion in his LBC interview this morning as he deflected a question about whether Donald Trump was wrong last year when he claimed migrants in Ohio were eating dogs and cats. Trump’s comment was widely dismissed as a racist slur.

(Guardian)

Wasn't the migrants eating swans story from years ago?

But Farage isn't a racist bigot, no siree. His mask is slipping more and more.

It's an established racist trope - these things don't change, they just resurface every few years

Swans. Pets. Same batshit assertion, different continent.

It's a very old racist trope. Hideous man.

Yep. Here is the story I remember.

It was, he made a bet with Ferrari about it last year and today Ferrari asked him to pay up. Farage refused saying that he wasn't proven wrong
