Like many, disillusioned with a certain other platform! I probably talk far too much politics, but will be happy to engage in something a little lighter.
Bewildered by people who don't pay attention, and think they've made a brilliant point! #FBPE

What traitorous dolts the British rightwing were to oblige Russia and the network of oligarchs who hate the power of EU collaboration and prosperity. Now we find ourselves isolated, the EU weakened and Ukraine being betrayed.
Shame on all who paved the way…
Farage, you’re front of the queue.

So Trump States before the draw for the Eorld Cup that &no one thought this would happen'?

Okay, it probably wasn't as bigly and tremendous, but a strange statement nonetheless?

Dear BBC,
This is one of a dozen or more times Farage has announced a boycott of you.
Please respect his wishes, this time, by stopping inviting him on programmes to give him extensive airtime.

Nigel Farage has gone to war with the BBC after a radio presenter suggested he had “a relationship when he was younger with Hitler,” vowing he would not speak to the national broadcaster until it apologized for its own past “racist” content.

Farage tried to excuse his past racist remarks by referencing the BBC's past output.
But the BBC now broadcasts some old shows with prominent warnings, and others it won't rebroadcast at all. So it is VERY clear that they understand that attitudes back then are unacceptable to modern sensibilities.
