I think Ben Habib winds everybody up.

True, but they will claim they do.

Loathsome as he is, do you wish death on him?

Maybe a nasty cough to stop him spewing lies and hatred?

He is now once again threatening to sue the BBC for defamation, the free speech warrior.

The BBC coverage was as anaemic as always. Both siding like crazy.
And Farage is copying Trump again - threatens a lot of legal action to get attention (social media clicks) and then drops it.
Lost count of the times he’s threatened the BBC. Can’t be anything to do with his employment at GBNews can it?

It’s hard not to sometimes - but I don’t, nor would any regular on this thread I think.

But this guy nearly wishes death and destruction on others - he’s just invited yet another riot - he’s ok out the way - he’s recommending concentration camps if he gets in ffs - he told Jewish boys at school Hitler was right - it’s hard to not feel maybe, just maybe someone should wish something back on him.

He won't go within 100 miles of anyplace where there are consequences for lying.

Man calls for violent, uncontrolled anger (ordinary definition of rage) and somehow he’s the victim.
Pathetic.

This is what Farage is crying about

Yesterday Matt Chorley said on Newsnight that Farage had called for "white cold rage" - Farage actually said "pure cold rage".

Chorley publicly apologised. But Reform UK say unless the Beeb issues multiple apologies, no Reform UK politician will do BBC shows.

Threatening us all with a good time.

It's the Nazi/Goebbels playbook. Accuse the enemy of doing exactly what you want to do.

Arkell v. Pressdram ?

But Reform weren’t doing BBC interviews anyway!
It’s obviously a means to wallop the BBC once again AND distract from the £5 million he pocketed from Thai crapto man.

👌

I wish I could post links on this device. There’s a clip on x showing Henry Novak doing karaoke with his family. May his memory be a blessing

It has felt that way, true. Though Kemi clearly wants there to be clear blue water between them now.

As pp says, it is hard to wish anything good for him. But I don't really wish death on him. It is wrong to do so. Although isn't there a joke about Trump...

What I do wish upon him is the death of his political career and that he ends up in obscurity and as a figure of ridicule.

Bring it on. The less we hear of them, the better.

I had the radio on while I was swearing at my coverstitch machine sewing, earlier and all that was reported of PMQs in the 6 music news bulletin was Farage's comment.

Perfect wish for him - words I wish I had thought of and said.

It is dreadfully sad and an absolutely abhorrent crime. May indeed his memory be a blessing - and never, ever tainted by any association at all to those incredibly disrespectful right wing thugs and grifters.

This 😔

Absolutely spot on.

That’s so accurate - thank you for sharing - so sad it’s true, but it is.

Reform UK own GB News.

Booze and fags won't necessarily kill you.

Mix it with toxic views, alcoholic and class A drug fuelled rage probably will kill someone else, or injure them and animals.

Have a great evening. @derxa

Speaking for myself, no I wouldn’t wish death on him or Trump for that matter. I just want them to be exposed sooner rather than later for the pond life that they are.

Though admittedly, in Trump’s case, I have found myself wishing he’d died of COVID back in 2020.
