Farage posted this at 12.38 today. It has been hopelessly overtaken by events and shown to be entirely wrong (British nationals involved and they've been released on bail - not very terrorist-like). And if you believe anything Trump says, you are a credulous moron.

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

I think what Badenoch meant to say here is: “British employers are dependent on welfare to subsidise a massively underpaid workforce” - particularly when you consider that around 40% of claimants are actually in work. But that’s just me splitting hairs, I suppose.

It’s really weird reading weird supposedly pro small business stories when you run a small business. This paperwork is not what bothers you! It’s a minor annoyance! It’s the taxes on hiring young staff, the cliff edges, and the sense your fellow small companies aren’t paying any tax at all.

The funny thing is that people from more privileged backgrounds don’t feel the needs to ask permission to be creative. But when if you’re not having to worry about *cough* trivial things like keeping a roof over your head or food on the table… makes a massive difference. Add in the cultural mindset.

How could an associate professor in divinity at Cambridge be expected to know that lying is bad? thecritic.co.uk/mone...
Ah yes, James Orr. A lot of us had been hazy about what it is exactly that associate professors in a divinity department do all day. It doesn’t seem to involve a lot of work: Orr is often to be seen at Reform events in London, which take up the whole morning even for those of us with offices down the road. Now we know he was also sipping cocktails while discussing ways in which wealthy foreigners might be able to get round the laws that ban them donating to the party.

The associate professor of divinity was filmed explaining to an undercover reporter that so long as everyone kept their mouths shut, there was no way that the authorities would ever find out. Orr spent four years as a postdoctoral fellow in theology, ethics and public life at Oxford, and it would be fascinating to know at what point he developed this theory of What the Electoral Commission Don’t Know Won’t Hurt Them. Perhaps he was off sick the day they opened the gospel of Luke: “What you have said in the dark will be h

Images of old men, their faces contorted with rage, raising their walking sticks to attack young women they disagree with, is just the sort of image that is going to help Farage and Reform project themselves as a legitimate political party. Put the old c*nt in prison.
