The remarkable thing here isn't the universal revulsion. Its that two large parties - Reform and the Conservatives - are trying to maintain stances favoured by around 0-1% of the public.

Polling like this also suggests that whenever Labour does develop enough backbone to act, there's no going back

I can't believe we are living in a world where this needs to be said, much less reported as news in the New York Times
"Mike Fox, a legal fellow at @cato.org.... said that even if Mr. Trump’s allegation that Ms. Good was a 'professional agitator' were true, that would not justify her killing.... You don’t get to kill someone because they engage in conduct that you disagree with or find distasteful or deplorable."

Why should this small group repeatedly be allowed to influence PUBLIC DISCOURSE & what people are permitted to say or hear in Australia???

At its best the free market enables all preferences to be catered for. This is what freedom looks like.

Put another way: the market now pretty much ignores his lunacy because TACO. And because his cronies always get a heads up so they can make bank. How long can it last?
It's so weird how the stock market really just doesn't give a fuck about instability anymore.

If you don’t want politicians re-writing history for political gain please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call out this absolute rubbish with the actual facts. If UK news shows are not up to the job let’s do it ourselves
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it.

We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history.
