1930s. Minor follower of Hitler was killed. Nazis turned him into a folk hero, made lots of noise about him, blamed their opponents, wrote a song for him, sung it at rallies.
Today. Deification in MSM, social media. Even in UK where most couldn't give a 💩 about him.
This scares me.

I agree. My OP was meant to convey that the BBC are partly to blame, but with hindsight, I could have worded it a bit (lot) better! 😀

BBC over-exposed Farage for years. If Reform are making the weather its partly because the media have given them a platform. Yesterday, the toad was bobbing around in a boat to make some point about immigrants, so the BBC duly gave him coverage.

Boasts about money, whines that he's got money when he's kicked out of the rich-folks bank - and somehow can still play-act "good old Nige, having a pint, one of the people" and get away with it. MSM lap it up. Lke Trump, he's a journos dream - publish what he says and bugger the consequences

A shocker would be England playing an entertaining game and trying a bit. The Senegal game (the bit in watched) was dire.

Anything other than being beaten was a "win" - USA last beat England at the World Cup in 1950.

Expected goals (agree - don't just lob in terms and expect readers to know). Apparently, we now need statisticians to tell us that a 0-1 win against Andorra wasn't good enough.

Well, at least Spurs got 2 days in the limelight before Arsenal got in on the act.

Not convinced that this is totally accurate. A quick trawl of UK media only turns up one source, which references hate speech as a possible issue, and links it to Vance.
That it gets mentioned at all is effing disgusting.
