Fuck me sideways. Farage is ACTUALLY doing it. He is actually trying to pull the “they’re eating the dawgs” MAGA bullshit here. They’ve truly jumped the shark this time.

I think one of the problems is that media has conditioned people to believe that fascism comes along with dark skies and ominous music.

People don’t recognize authoritarianism when they see their neighbors walking the dog on a sunny day with chirping birds.

Labour has let itself be dog-walked by Farage into scapegoating migrants — while the Brexit pioneer gets away with murder.

They should've pinned the country decline on that scumbag from fucking day one!!
Brexit - championed by Farage - has been a significant factor in creating this mess - it’s time UK news shows started pointing that out

Every channel I turn on today is just Fartage, endless Fartage, his wibbly belligerent face getting majorly platformed while he honks on and on about the hysteria he himself encourages. Absolute shitshow. Exhausting. Do better, media.

But still, they stay on X…

Brexit prejudice and lies, the ‘legitimate concerns’ bullshit and allowing social media sites to become cesspits of radicalisation and conspiracy theory… have all led to this dismal place.

A total failure of politics and journalism.

The Billionaire Media is whining about NHS staff being paid too much.

Funny isn't it that the Billionaire Media never whines about the Billionaires being paid too much?

I wonder why.

Nigel Farage should know that his relentless incitement for racist riots decreases his popularity.

80% of the population sees what he is doing and is disgusted by it.

Reform UK's Darren Grimes tells constituents he can't hold surgeries with them because he's been advised by the police not to do so for "security reasons".

The only problem? Police spokesperson says this is entirely untrue and they gave no such advice
