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.

Strong "she was wearing a skirt so she asked to get raped" energy from this douchebag.

[–] victrola 3 points 5 days ago

So she asked to get milkshaked

[–] [email protected] 69 points 6 days ago

Of course he does. He took money from Russia.

[–] Paragone 24 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nigel Farage should be considered, then, an enemy-agent within everywhere in NATO.

Period.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Are people denying Russia was provoked? That seems like basics.

[–] 9point6 54 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Oh great, now we're going to have a load of Putin supporting bilge from the right-wing shit-pipes over here now.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Falange has always been a Putin stooge.

All the right wing is easily bought

What an asshat, someone needs to throw another milkshake at him

[–] 9point6 12 points 6 days ago

We clearly need to step it up

Can we drench him in whatever stink bombs are made of? Or henna? Maybe litres of red food colouring?

Something he can't wash off

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

He doesn't need more victim cards to play.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I'm still fine with him getting splashed with food or other organics every single time he tries to speak publicly

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He should emigrate to Russia.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

He can go help defend the Russian occupiers in Crimea when Ukraine cuts them off and starts hunting them down.

i wonder what nigel's h*xbear account is?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

Oh the fucking gymnastics they'll be concocting now!

[–] faceula 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This plank also believes that Trump won the election...

[–] davidagain 2 points 4 days ago

No, he's a lying toerag. He says that Trump won but he thinks ordinary people are stupid and will believe him because he's so blokey. Turd.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Can't wait for the day Nigel Farage can no longer claim anything tbh.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

His gravestone will read, it was all the EUs fault. He can't let it go. He is both talentless and an egomaniac, it makes for an annoying combination.

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

The said stone may smell of piss. If it does not, I’ll be quite happy to oblige.

[–] davidagain 1 points 4 days ago

I thank you in advance for your service to the country.

[–] Luvs2Spuj 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There are too many stupid people who believe everything he says. More milkshakes please.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

issue is his supporters will see milkshake and think left wing elite. We need a farmer with a muck spreader.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

Farage presumably sympathises with the milkshake throwers, who only did so because they'd been provoked.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Instead of trying to screw over our country any more, why don’t you just go and enlist?

[–] steeznson 12 points 6 days ago (6 children)

I think what has been enlightening about this election is seeing how many 'own goals' the Reform party are scoring now that they've been given enough rope to hang themselves with. It reminds me of when they let Nick Griffon on Question Time back in 2009/10 and he absolutely withered under scrutiny.

Yes, there will be a hardcore of people who are going to vote for Reform - maybe even because of gaffes like this. However this is repellent to the wider electorate. Imagine if they were semi-competent and just ran as populist Tories without letting the mask slip immediately. Personally, I'd be much more concerned.

Fuck off frog face.

[–] EnderMB 6 points 5 days ago

On one hand, Farage is a massive cunt, an enemy of the state, and the man responsible for irreparable damage to UK politics due to Brexit.

On the other, if Reform is going to run against the Tories, there's a real opportunity his tinpot party takes the Gammon/flag-shagger vote away from Sunak's populist run as Tory leader, and in a month we see the Tory party get absolutely annihilated.

Years ago, I said that it was quite sad to see that Conservative's had lost their party to the populism of the Boris era, because many MP's that wanted to see a strong union (bear in mind the full name of the Tories is the Conservative and Unionist Party) were expelled from the party and ostracised to make room for grifters under BoJo. While I'm no conservative, many voters value conservatism in their politics, and while I don't like Starmer much either, he's basically the closest thing to a Conservative AND a Liberal in major party politics in the UK.

My vote is probably with the Greens this year, but in many areas Labour should absolutely destroy the Tories, hopefully to the point where they become the third or fourth party in the UK.

Can't we dunk em in milkshake every time he lies?

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

Sounds like a waste of milkshake. We should be dunking him in something much less edible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

doesn't need to be a fresh vat of milkshake every time.. just reuse until no longer liquid

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

It's always interesting watching the far fringes of left and right come to the same conclusions, almost as if the same person had laid the trail of propaganda pointing to it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Thought experiment if Farage had a come to Greta moment and because an environmental activitist. Would his fans follow him or would he be dumped.

Does Farage stir the people or is he just riding the current?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

He simps for Trump, Which tells you all you need to know about his followers.

[–] deltapi 2 points 6 days ago

I think the latter.
