It's revealing about taboos around racism that the visceral bullying racism of schoolboy Farage cuts through while the much more consequential thinly veiled racism of adult Farage doesn't. Many people need that veil and flinch when it's removed. You can advocate racist policies but not say the words

Farage banging 🇷🇺 Putin’s drum for him again. I’d missed this one regarding Russia’s novichok attack on British soil that killed a British woman.
How can anyone who considers themselves patriotic vote for him or his party?

If they both exist and like him, they will doubtless come forward to explain how they know what he was up to even when he was nowhere near them.
Nigel Farage says he won't release the names of his former school friends who have written to him to say he definitely wasn't a massive racist and anti-semite, because journalists will: "chase after them and make their life a misery"

The WI has been trans inclusive since the 70s, before I was born. Do you see who in this scenario was innocently minding their own business, coming to their own arrangements locally? Do you see who is forcefully imposing themselves and their demands upon others, via threats.

Think this is a good example of my theory that "the most risk averse interpretation of regulation" often matters far more than what regulation actually says.
The Women's Institute has been forced into excluding trans women too

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that if Ukraine takes the right steps, its GDP could surpass Russia’s within 10 years.
"They are literally fighting over a 30-50 km strip in Donetsk, roughly 20% of the region still under Ukrainian control and now a central issue in negotiations."
