I’d rather we left that to the Russians, personally. Plus it’s totally counterproductive, Farage will basically just say, "oh look, the tolerant left are at it again," and his popularity will probably step up another notch. Clearly false flag staged by Reform member. GB News and MSM will no doubt report it otherwise to all you sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Politicians are the subject of increased abuse and attacks. Regardless of who it happens to, it's something I'd never want to see happen.

sadoldgit Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 It was just a milkshake for Christ sake. Far worse happened to Jo Cox. Farage will lap up the attention like the attention seeking narcissist he is and will put the dry cleaning bill in as expenses. Cheap publicity.

Anyone in clacton deluded enough to vote for the useless grifter that is Farage deserves everything they get. He clearly has no interest in the area of the people and is just using them to further his own personal interests and milk a few more quid from the terminally dumb. Listening the MEP with on of the worst attendance records in history spout about the difference he made in that forum is galling and the fact hundreds show up to lap it up is embarrassing. still less votes and less seat for the Tory party do even the Farage cloud has a silver lining!

This is an object being thrown at a candidate for an election. Why should that happen to anyone looking to be elected? Why should it happen to anyone at all? He's targeted because of his views. What if was a politician you backed? Or who had a certain background, race or belief? That's not even beginning to link it with other abuse, or speculating about this encouraging others to throw other things, or take more extreme action. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hypocrisy of this imbecile is off the scale Exactly. He thinks it’s funny when it happens to Nigel, but had someone chucked anything over Abbott, Corbyn or Raynor we’d have a 1,000 word post on it. It’s totally unacceptable to behave like this towards any politician regardless of who they are. It’s just another example of the dumbing down of politics in this country. People moan about the calibre of politicians, then wonder why decent folk don’t stand for election. Prescott had the best response when he chinned the twat. Shame one of Nigel’s female followers didn’t do the same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Can't really tell much from the woman in the red dress, that's just generic Instagram face.

The Kraken Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) Made the mistake of watching the debate for a bit. Moderator absolutely dreadful, worst of the three. Sunak quite obviously talking over everybody cos he’s a chippy little prick and that’s all he’s got. Starmer quite obviously just sticking to sound bites and going no risk. Bloody awful television, certainly won’t be watching any more of it. Sunak probably edged it for the win as far as I got but they both look ridiculous. Starmer looks like a serious person when given the chance to speak but he’s not a great orator. Edited June 4 by The Kraken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
