If Farage's people are real, ordinary and decent then I must be pretend, weird and immoral.

Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

Do you notice how this is worse than what’s happening in Trump’s America? Because we are in some ways much further down the extremist radicalisation spiral, because Britain is dominated by the English-speaking world’s most toxic and hateful media outlets, and by fuck those people get what they want.

So it turns out (reading “Mind of a Raven”) that I am wrong in thinking that Chips ( the most vocal and friendly) is a male. This knocking sound apparently is unique to females. So Chips is a girl! Now I know I will try to do more detailed observations, esp at breeding time #ukbirding

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:
"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."
That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?
