The US has a lot to answer for, but there's no way they've done anything so heinous as to have deserved this.

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! :'(

Excuse me you seem to have put nigel farges face on my feed.
I'll accept an apology whenever you can get around to it.
We may need some automated trigger warning when his name is posted here.
That said, the Garudian does seem to specialise in thumbnail photos of him that make him look like a smug toad. Or is that just his resting git face?
By some horribly bad timing, I once saw him in real life, and yes, he's every bit that gormless.
Nigel Farage is Donald Trump's Grima Wormtongue.
Nah, Wormtongue had complete control over Theoden. Trump scarcely knows who Frage is.
I think it's wormtongue's relationship to Saruman he's taking about.
And we know how that worked out.
Conservative populism is going to fail in the states. It would have a direct effect on his megaphone.
His character and conduct should come as no surprise. Clacton knowingly voted for this.
That must be something in the water because every time the news interviews any of them they're all as thick as bricks.
"He's a man of the people", no he's not, he's a multi-millionaire.
"He speaks truth to power", again no he does not, he's literally never done that because that would involve doing his job which he's never done. He didn't do it when he was in MEP why would he do it as an MP?
There's even some fat old guy saying he was a WASP which is an old '90s White supremacists phraseology. So not only is he out of date he's also a racist great combo.

Farage is not an Anglo-Saxon surname, and he has non-English ancestors besides the alleged Huguenot. As for whether he's Catholic or Protestant, it's unlikely he attends any religious ceremony any more than he attends the European Parliament or the House of Commons. That would require effort.
We will have our milkshakes ready.
we shall milkshake him on the beaches, we shall milkshake him on the landing grounds, we shall milkshake him in the fields and in the streets, we shall milkshake him in the hills; we shall never surrender
And how many times has he attended Parliament?
One speech, right?
He's doing far more to damage Reform's reputation than anyone else could have ever hoped to do. Tice was an idiot to let him on board, as it's clear that he only cares about himself, but then again tice is an idiot.
Too many. And people of Clacton got what they deserved as they voted him in.
Speaking to the Mirror about the Arizona speech this weekend, Farage said he was honouring a longstanding commitment “because I am not the sort of person who lets people down, otherwise you get a terrible reputation”
Oh yes, that's how.
What do you bet that Donald Trump doesn't even know his name? I can't imagine he's really a great rallyer for Trump I mean the Americans aren't going to know who he is.
