I’m sure this is just a coincidence - it’s not like Nigel Farage to avoid scrutiny, right?
Donald Trump threatens 10% tariffs on UK and Nigel Farage who has positioned himself as the president's best mate in Britain drops out of a much promoted interview on the BBC.
Strange.
Almost like the two things are connected.

As Trump now imposes tariffs on eight allies because we oppose his plans to annex Greenland, I must ask:
Is he still just “weaving”?
Is this still a “take him seriously, not literally” situation?
What other justification will the true sufferers of TDS bring forward now?

"Under the weather" is a funny way to spell "chicken"
Farage is apparently 'under the weather' today and unable to talk about the US threats to the UK and Europe over Greenland.
Which is unfortunate.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble but if you think that CBS News losing ratings or prestige matters to David Ellison, you're mistaken. Murdoch ran the NY Post for 45 years without turning a profit. They want these media companies to pump propaganda, not to get ratings or make money.
