Are they honestly attempting to turn America into a hermit kingdom?

I love Prometheus!

Ridley Scott had been saying since the late 70s that the eggs on LV-426 were actually a biological weapon.

People got rather cross when this actually played out onscreen. 😬

Best Star Trek fim, with an INCREDIBLE soundtrack! 😁

Definitely!

Yep, another very effective line of attack.

Fluffy chonk!

Yep, this.

An essential decency is still ascribed to British voters from left of centre analysis. But the past ten years have demonstrated that many millions of us, are cunts.

He's not used to scrutiny. Hence the bad temper. But are racism and antisemitism going to do for him, when both are becoming horribly normalised?

I have my doubts.

Material damage to voters from nutty Reform councils stands a better chance, I think.

Materially, stuff like this is much likely to do damage over time, than focusing on Farage's bigotry. It's really nice to see him uncomfortable, but honestly, his prejudices have now become horribly normalised. Not enough people care about it to do him damage.

So much left of centre analysis of voters, still rests on the assumption that human beings vote in a rational manner.

Unfortunately, that analysis is useless, if millions of voters are living in internet-fuelled parallel realities and "fuck it. Let's burn it all down," is their motivation.

...rational manner.

This is why we have Reform councils collapsing entire counties, but Farage's popularity in those same areas is surging.

A rational worldview informs us that Farage's obvious racism and antisemitism should do for him, but it will likely make little difference to his polling.

Yep, same here in Lancashire. It's a shitshow.

But there are Reform posters still filling windows all over.

This is what I mean about the disconnect. I would *love* what's happening now to do for Farage. But I really don't think it will.
