If Farage found guilty, he could be barred as MP- strategy was to sacrifice this election to stop investigation and run elsewhere later. Now, facing only Count Binface, he either wins and risks being barred anyway, or loses to a genius bit of satire, completely demolishing his political career.

Ultimately it's a case of the ultra wealthy class funding parties, think-tanks, buying news outlets, controlling social media platforms in order to ensure we point fingers at each other at the bottom of the ladder instead of looking up and realising they're laughing at us.

I wonder if Stephen King is on the Epstein list, which is why we're seeing a load of his films now because when it's revealed, no one will want to make the films, so they're cashing in now? Bit of a stretch? Yes. Accusing someone of something horrible, also yes. I liked the Long Walk however.

Interesting article in @theconversation.com about the proliferation of Uk flags by Callum Blades. It's not about being a patriot. It's about being terrified of the world. They're projecting fear of everything they don't understand onto a bit of cloth. It's a psychological crutch for the insecure.

I've been sad and stressed recently. Seeing more Reform UK flags pop up. Seeing people thinking that their policy is just 'reform the UK' and don't realise they want to introduce the privatisation of the NHS, and get rid of human rights. It genuinely causes that pit of dread inside. I'm scared.

The way the left will win the next election in any form is embracing meme culture. Farage dominates social media, I think we need a return to this kind of thing to contextualise left politics and humour. We are seen as too humourless. Am I on to something or joking into the wind?
