He most definitely is the boy who cried wolf. Voters have short memories of what Farage was saying to entice people to vote Leave during Brexit. I can't stand the guy and the thought of him even having a remote chance of being our PM is, quite frankly, terrifying.
Conveniently omitting the comment accusing me of making a personal comment about a poster. His response was pathetic. I was trying to participate in the thread with no agenda. Instead, "Mr Pigeon" can't stop himself.I'm with you. Here's the documentation if you want to take this attack to the ECHR.
I seriously have zero respect for anyone voting Reform, absolute braindead.
How do these people always fail upwards?
Because they all run in the same circles
To be fair Farage is probably annoyed that it'll remind people of things we used to have, like wild animals and green spaces, after his party get elected and pollute everything.
Nobody apart from electricians, builders and plumbers will be using cash in 20 years so whatever……
Tbh I haven’t really checked.
That became another instance of someone centre or left suggesting something, the idea being pilloried, then catching on among some right wing commentators and suddenly becoming popular. Saw a bunch of Tel and DM columnists calling for it, obviously without crediting Davey, who'd they branded an idiot the previous week.
Yet Churchill is the one people are focusing on. I wonder why.
There's nothing more woke than getting rid of the famously persecuted gay man and one of only three women who've ever featured on a UK bank note.
Never surrender when asking for extra treatsIf the wokies want an animal that represents Britain they could go with something like this.
But, no, a fecking badger!

I like to believe that they voted for the badger etc to annoy farage and his types. The horror everytime they get bank notes. That’s good enough for meIf the wokies want an animal that represents Britain they could go with something like this.
But, no, a fecking badger!
I wonder where Farage will have his final resting place when the end finally comes....
