Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Call them cunts and tell them they get nothing. Spit in their stupid faces. Put extra Asians in the Christmas adverts and explicitly say you're doing it to fuck them off. Tell them *no* for once Jesus actual Christ lads. Not "this is unworkable" or "this is expensive". Just no.

So we're really at the stage where conservative politicians and pundits consider anything north of screaming proscribed epithets into ethnic faces as "not racist". But we'll get there on that behviour too, and our media will both-sides it when it comes.

If someone drives you mad because they are black or Asian you are incredibly racist. It's a pretty decent example of racism. If someone drives you mad because they're eating too noisily, you're normal.
