General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

There's a possibility that the whole thing was a publicity stunt? This picture has started circulating.

What a weird publicity stunt this would be. Do people actually feel bad for him or something? I'm from the US and only seem to hear about Nigel when he gets hit in the face with a milkshake or says something horrendous

Nothing creepy about that hug...these old fucks can't help themselves can they.

No, because young women are sexy.

She really does look pretty similar especially in the profile headshot

How could he be so dense to think these pics wouldn't come to light?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You're asking how could Farage be so dense?

But seriously speaking, this could just be a case of mistaken identity too; it's not like either of them has a very unique look exactly

Thanks for that. I left Twitter in Nov 22, so I can't follow the interesting threads anymore.

Oh I've never been on Twatter, somebody shared this on a Discord I'm on

My mental health is terrible enough as it is, I'd have been put in the loony bin long ago if I'd spent any appreciable amount of time on Twatter

reset the clock

All the people cheering it on oblivious to the fact that this just helps Farage and garners more sympathy for him and his party.

She claimed she threw it because "he doesn't stand for what she believes in". If only there was some way of expressing that. Like a vote or something. 🤔

I bet she won't even bother voting.

Perhaps that explains the pic of the 2 of them?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (6 children)

Lol. That's not her, but unsurprisingly the conspiracy theories have started already. 😂

You're right. We should start throwing things at people we dislike.

I'm sure that will work. 👍

Yup, gets his face on the front pages the same day as the big Labour/Tory debate on ITV. Whoever threw it has done Farage a huge favour.

So Starmer got glittered. Nigel got his traditional milkshaking. What's Rishi gonna get?

As is tradition.

The only thing that got launched was a milkshake at that fascist's face lmao

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Heartwarming!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I like that this has become a sort of election tradition now lol.

If I can propose a slight tweak, if you know he's heading your way might I suggest buying the milkshake about a week beforehand to allow it to reach it's full potential? Let it level up, so to speak.

DM: "Are snowflakes making bioweapons against Nigel?"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Rember when that dipshit Andy ngo got milkshakes and chids were trying to argue it wad assault because it was actually concrete not milkshake.

I'm not saying it was concrete, I'm just saying that's an interesting thought exercise.
