This paragraph is both a glorious piece of journalism and a frustrating summary of the grifters who hoodwink the masses.

She’s just asking questions.
‘Is Nigel Farage a Russian asset?’
‘Are you seriously asking me that?’

The bollocking of the government by the speaker (or deputy speaker in this case) for ignoring the House feels like it’s turning into a ritual like slamming the door on the face of Black Rod.

The government doesn’t care and won’t change its habits.

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Asked again and again whether he ever racially abused his fellow pupils, as 20 people at his old school have now said he did, Nigel Farage will only say that he never did so in a "hurtful way" or "with intent"

This is one of the most damning videos I’ve ever watched of Farage.

He essentially admits being racist at school - only says he didn’t do it “with intent”.

The quiver in his voice at the end - he knows he can’t squirm out of this one.
“I would never ever do it in a hurtful or insulting way”

Nigel Farage responds to allegations of racist behaviour from when he was a teenager at school

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?”

“Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?”

You can have those for nothing, lads.
