Farage pays for nothing himself. He rakes it in from media, crypto, gold bullion, X… Clacton isn’t worth his time.
He’s a rep for the US christofascist far right and is being paid to bring that shit over here.
It’s all a grift. A pisstake. A very sinister betrayal.

It won't be a popular opinion and I'm very much a sports fan but I don't think Scotland should go to the world cup.

The monarch is missing in action rather than defend his armed forces. Instead his estranged son is the only royal to show a shred of respect, to get angry and do the right thing.

Where are all the USA politicians calling Trump out? Are they really all that stupid that they agree or are they simply cowards?
Their silence denigrates those who sacrificed their all alongside USA soldiers.
Their silence is utterly shameful, is that really “American”?

King Charlie is going to the USA in April, to their 250th anniversary of independence celebrations.
Looking forward to his descendent coming to Scotland in 2276 for our 250th celebrations.
FWIW he shouldn't be going anywhere near the USA right now.
