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.

Trump just stole $1.8B. He’s going to give it to his business, his kids, and people like Flynn, Eastman, Giuliani, and the Oath Keepers. He’s doing this without court approval or Congress. This is a crime, but there’s no one to prosecute it because the DoJ is in on it.

Nothing says “I cannot cope with lying politicians” like backing, er, Nigel Farage and, um… ‘In 2022, Delo pleaded guilty to a United States Bank Secrecy Act violation and received a 30-month probation sentence. In 2025, Delo was pardoned by President Donald Trump.’
‘Entrepreneur’ Ben Delo, who was pardoned by Donald Trump after pleading guilty to financial crime & now backs Nigel Farage, explains in the Daily Telegraph that he hates ‘lying politicians’ because he is autistic.

And that is clearly not calling for a war, it's accepting a premise that there may be a case for war. See the difference? No. I don't think you do.

Again he states there may well be a case for enacting regime change in Iran, but that is NOT what Trump's justification is. That is not advocating for war, it is being prepared to accept a premise. Once you realise this, your case falls apart.

Jimbo Broadbent @boogoid.bsky.social · 07/04/2026
Except he has said all along that this war (Trump's war) was never about regime change or about defending priotestors nor any of the things JOB states would perhaps (and it's a perhaps, as he asks to be proved wrong and is stating an exaggerated position for a phone in show) justify a war with Iran.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
