Retired. Doing a bit of volunteering. Escaped here from X to avoid right wing toxicity and conspiracy theories. Exiled Brighton supporter so learned resilience over the years. No DMs please.

I'm in Ipswich, England. My whole family hate and despise him. He's the worst of the worst. He's also destroying the USA and putting the rest of us at risk too.

This time next year you'll be reporting on how the technology has buggered up and people's letters and parcels have got lost.
But some tech company will have made a fortune and staff will have been made redundant.

I thought they told us already that a lot of the loot was in their family trust fund. Then there's that bloody yacht. Shouldn't be too hard to find it surely? As it's a massive fraud, doesn't that count as proceeds of crime?

Shame on Time. Didn't they use to be a decent publication back in the day? What is happening to America? As a Brit, I want the USA as a partner, but that's currently not possible sadly.

I was thinking of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Farage would fit his narrative well. E.g. the king with no subjects who issues orders like commanding the sun to set in the evening. Total charlatan.

I like the way they refer to her commenting on Farage's "sensible positions". This conjures up images I will not be able to un-see!

He's a heavy smoker and no spring chicken so this could have a good outcome. Just hope he doesn't infect anyone else (unless it's Tice or some other crony).

I'd been wondering that too. Quite a mystery really. Couldn't be anything to do with Farage, could it?

Apart from the mis-use of "formally", this is mega brown-nosing. I can't believe I read the whole article.
Personally, I'm having fishcakes and chips tonight with Barefoot Merlot from Tesco. In front of the telly. Much more fun.
We don't need a monarchy and should not glorify these people.

He's for sale. Just more expensive than his Welsh convict mate.
In the article he claims to have friends. He doesn't - just people with whom he has transactional relationships.
Absolute scumbag.

They should have upgraded the bloody infrastructure with the vastly inflated charges we've been paying them.
Ditto the water companies of course.

I'm guessing he only had imaginary friends as a boy, so they've grown up to be imaginary letter writers.

Gt Yarmouth would be best served by him pissing off frankly. Also, if we hadn't left the EU, Yarmouth would probably have received some extra funding to assist development.

We have an actual King here in the UK and he doesn't pardon criminal scumbags in the way Fake King Donald does. The late Queen pardoned WW11 code-breaker Alan Turing who was a national hero but had fallen foul of the anti-gay laws of the time. That's the kind of case the pardon would apply to.

I won a medal in the Cubs in around 1960. It was for making coconut ice. I rarely wear it these days as it would seem like bragging.
