Up in court next week. I've decided to dispense with witnesses, evidence and facts and rather show the jury my ordinary bloke in a pub routine - sipping real ale I don't like while dressed as a farmer & standing on a sack of cash so the people can see me. Let the people decide.

How's Farage going to condemn racist, Muslin hating, invasion fearing bigots without alienating all his racist, Muslim hating, invasion fearing bigots. Tricky.

In the 60s & 70s Britain taxed the rich properly — ordinary people could buy homes. Now billionaires own the media, bankroll politicians, dodge taxes & hoard property. Housing crisis isn’t an accident, it’s what happens when the rich write the rules.

Farage built Brexit, and Brexit broke Britain. Nigel Farage is the cause of the mess we’re in - not the solution.

Farage's comments are stupid because they ignore decades of scientific studies disproving any link between paracetamol and autism, and falsely compare a well-studied medicine to the thalidomide disaster—spreading needless fear and conspiracy nonsense. Typical of the man.

Goebbels Ends Careers of Five 'Aryan' Actors Who Made Witticisms About the Nazi Regime

Feb. 4, 1939

February 4, 1939, Page 1

BERLIN, Feb. 3.—Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels today ended the professional careers of five "Aryan" actors and cabaret announcers by expelling them from the Reich's Chamber of Culture on the grounds that “in their public appearances they displayed a lack of any positive attitude toward National Socialism and therewith caused grave annoyance in public and especially to party comrades.” The five include perhaps the best known German stage comedians who survived previous Chamber of Culture purges and still dared to indulge in political witticisms—namely, Werner Finck, Peter Sachse and “The Three Rulands,” represented by Helmuth Buth, Wilhelm Meissner and Manfred Dlugi. Their expulsion means that they are henceforth forbidden to appear before the public in Germany.

Besides motivating this action in an official communiqué, Dr. Goebbels also publishes a long article in the Voelkischer Beobachter in which he denounces them as “brazen, impertinent, arrogant and tactless" and generally imitators and successors to Jews. Simultaneously he denounces the "society rabble that followed them with thundering applause—parasitic scum, inhabiting our luxury streets, that seems to have only the task of proving with how little brains people can get along and even acquire money and prominence."

As regards the details of the "crimes" of which the five are accused, Dr. Goebbels mentions that they made political witticisms about the colonial problem, the Four-Year Plan and Chancellor Hitler's monumental building program and one of them even raised the question of whether there was any humor left in Germany today.

What amused the public most, however, and presumably roiled the National Socialist authorities most—although Dr. Goebbels does not mention it—is that they deftly, but unmistakably, caricatured some gestures, poses and physical characteristics of Nat…

In 2018 Jeremy Hunt bought 7 flats in a single transaction, paying around £3.57 million for the lot. Buying 7 in one go avoided about £300,000 in stamp duty. If your kids can't find homes to buy near you, blame people like Hunt, not desperate people running for their lives.

The Right wing media that blasted 'greedy' train drivers on £60k a year wanting a pay rise are strangely supportive of farmers incensed at having to pay inheritance tax on farms worth over £3 million. You'd be forgiven thinking it was millionaire media tycoons protecting their millionaire mates.

Stuart - from Crewkerne - called into BBC Radio Somerset to say some roads are passable but drivers need to be very careful.

He said he was travelling on the M5 for Crewkerne to support farmers with tractors.

"Please everybody be careful on the M5," he warned the programme. "Vehicles were getting blown across the carriageways so just be careful.

"You know it's windy when you get overtaken on the M5 by a crisp packet." '
