Welcome to our long running thread for political discussion, general chat, a friendly hug and taxes in kind.

Chilly days for the hustings and door knocking.

They have retracted the first part

Thats not a retraction - they haven’t taken the suggestion of MH issues back.
They’ve just deleted the sentence several hours after everyone has seen it.
classic.

So this is basically Reform, right now? (it's a central heating one but we have one of them new fangled electric cars and it's still bloody cold out there) The weird and ugly thing on the wall that serves a useful purpose.

Yep, it is out there in full and has been roundly trashed.

My eyes!

That picture! Can someone hold my hair back, please?

Mine too.

Strictly 2026 announced ?

Yes I was mightily peeved but not surprised

Farage claims Trump never meant to insult British troops, and ICE victim in Minneapolis shouldn't have been there with gun

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgjw0xegxglo

So because Nigel wasn't offended, the rest of the UK needs to move on ?

Farage can go fuck himself with a file.

So Farage doesn't believe in the 2nd amendment? Am sure that will make him popular in the US.

Presumably Farage also mentioned that -

a) Alex Pretti's (legal) gun wasn't at any point unholstered by Alex. The only thing he held in his hand was his phone; and

b) Alex Pretti had been disarmed when he was shot ten times.

Very sloppy of him to not mention those things.

Or just more disinformation.

That's a typical abuser statement. As in I didn't mean to call you a useless [insert awful words here].

I would love to know where the cluster outbreaks where in the UK.

I think Birmingham was a big one.

Did he do it in an interview or by diktat ?

Even my left foot would immediately fire back:

"Can you tell the British public why you feel the need to apologise for Donalt Trump ?". Leaving space for Nigel to correct my left foot that it wasn't an apology, before making that point myself.

But he's clearly rattled by it. Are Nige doesn't like having to respond.

GBeebies

Steve Baker next? Anyone remember him saying "Suella excites me"? 🤮

😱

I didn’t vote for Brexit. I just want the best for this country.

So interview and diktat then.

Whilst I concur, not everyone does.
