Keen interest in UK, European, Canadian, Australian & US politics. Watching the USA die in the arse is a grim fascination.
You're welcome to try DM's but I'd advise not to.

Claims he's a defender of free speech but can't abide being questioned
It's Farage at his absolute weakest - thin-skinned, easy to offend, and nurturing a persecution complex.

He’s a vile man, no intellectual ability, just attacks anyone who disagrees with him.

A Trumpian drip.

Nigel Farage.

The man who's spent 20 years attacking the politically correct "woke" BBC now attacking it for... checks notes ... "showing the Black and White Minstrel Show in the 1970s".

Always good to be consistent Nigel.

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for putting restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.

He did not declare that Reform had just received £9 million from one of its biggest investors

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.

We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

"Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement...The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself."

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.
