It's very obvious that if any other prominent politician had been so racist in school that it's haunted 20+ former classmates ever since, it would be treated like a bigger deal. We should examine how and why "still being very racist four decades later" is acting as Farage's protective shield.

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.
Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.

It's a yearly scandal, now decades long.
Nearly €100 million to prop up the horse and greyhound racing industries.
More than 3 times the amount of core funding given to the 87 different sports bodies.
We need rid of these cruel industries that only exist to profit the wealthy few.

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
