The only reason I think Your Party isn’t performance art funded by Nigel Farage is that he doesn’t know what performance art is.

Australia leads the world for the loudest squealing when snouts are removed from troughs but the UK are catching up..
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Old man moaning post; in the age of the internet why, (after 15 mins searching) can I not find a league table with full home and away W-D-L columns like we had in the olden days ?

Now it is Keith Bott, MD Titanic Brewery, giving his #Budget views on BBC TV. He is looking for a fairer system, asking why do physical businesses, such as pubs, pay more than those online? He says it is much better for people to be sociable in a pub, rather than drinking at home.

Even if he wanted to, Farage couldn't condemn racism without a lot of his base considering it 'woke'.

Imagine if your car was made by a company owned by a colossal moron.

“The biggest defect culprits were the axle assembly, suspension, brakes and lighting.”

So nothing important. Here I was thinking it was bits of trim dropping off and screens breaking.

Working class artists are vital but sadly these days seem to be diminishing. Guys like Mani made it feel like one of our own up there on stage.

The extreme and psychotic overreaction by Trump and Stephen Miller to Democratic military vets in the Senate and House urging service members to remember that their oath is to the Constitution and not a man tells us a lot about the Trump admin’s plans for the military.

The Roman Empire prospered due to open borders, mass immigration and diversity then fell because of huge wealth inequality and corrupt leadership. I just thought I'd mention it.
