Spike Milligan’s version was almost clairvoyant:
The grand old Duke of York went to town with his trousers down
And when they were up they were up

Tragically hilarious
Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics.
This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.
