Hes fucking nuts. Hes so proud of all the pathetic arsehole things he has done.
Disgusting creature.

Some vile racism pouring out of this orange sewer.

He’s also at about twice his allotted time slot. Can’t someone ring a bell or something?

I would say a lot of stiff drinks will be needed after listening to this.

I would say a lot of stiff drinks are needed during it! I’ve met folk at work using their water bottle for this - I can now recognise the benefits in certain situations.

I usually settle with summaries after the event but figured needed to sit through this one.

Now going back to stabbing thick fabric with a needle for a wee while.

I’m off out to choir. Sing some French motets in an angry fashion and a bit of Vivaldi to cheer us up.

I’ve just come back from seeing Hamnet, it looks as if I timed it perfectly.

In April 2022, Farage appeared in a video titled “New Money, New Rules” from Southbank Research, offering “the truth about c-word currencies”, in which he said he had bought c-word currencies.

He said: “Five years ago, c-word currencies were pure speculation. Yet now, making c-word a part of your plans just makes sense, doesn’t it? I have. A short while ago, I took a small amount of my money, I opened an account, I invested in c-. It wasn’t difficult, but I’m glad I did it and I’m not alone.”

But he "doesn't do computers"?

Probably a good place to drop this

Nigel Farage has suggested the world would be a “better, more secure place” if America took over Greenland, PA Media report.

But he also believes in sovereignty he says.

Of course he does. Give Trump what he wants. And Putin by fracturing NATO.

A quick reminder that Farage's planned appearance before Congress last year to call for tariffs against his own country was brokered by the anti abortionists (anti buffer zones) & freedom of speech lovers the ADF. Farage is knee deep in US think tanks and has eyes on their cash.

The US has the only military base on Greenland and they have (along with Denmark) bent over backwards to comply with the US requirements over the years.

Ownership makes fuck all difference. But Farage will say anything to curry favour, patriot my arse.

Notonthestairs · 21/01/2026 18:22

I see all the headlines are "Trump wont use force".
Pathetic. He's utterly unreliable. No friend to NATO, EU or the UK.
His words are worthless.
Surely the pretence is over?

DuncinToffee · 21/01/2026 18:28

He still threatened countries that should not stop him from taking Greenland.

He won't use force, for now.

Alexandra2001 · 21/01/2026 18:31

Well, if Trump thinks "ownership" is the criteria for defence, the he wouldn't come to Europe's aid if say Putin invaded one of the Baltic states.

His word is useless, we all saw that on Chagos... same with trade deals, we have one with the USA, still threatened tariffs...

Glad Starmer isn't there.

He was almost stamping his foot whenever he mentioned Greenland.

Or Iceland. Whichever!

LlttledrummergirI · 21/01/2026 19:17

Trump is either lying, threatening or boasting about lies and threats.

How the fuck anyone grovels to that is beyond me, the correct response should be a paddington stare coupled with fuck off.
America chose him, he's America's problem. Close the European bases, protect Greenland, and Canada and stop trade until they get rid of the fucker.

Time to put the bully boy back in his box.

😂

His "but we won't use force" line after everything he's said is typical bully/abuser tactics akin to "you didn't really think we were going to throw you down the stairs, did you? (personal experience of that one 😕)

That's exactly what it's like.

Withdrawn threat of Tariffs now....

Starmer, NATO and EU vindicated...

Hopefully people will see Farage and Badenoch for what they are, opportunists, she stood up yesterday and called Starmer "too weak"

Starmer will get 0 credit. Especially from the usual suspects on here.

They’ve given him exactly the same deal he had before. 😂

Farage would have given away the farm.
