Not much chance of that! The BBC appear to have a Trump obsession, faithfully reporting every brain-fart Trump has as if it's factual, reasonable and sane. Sadly, old Farage and honest Bob have jumped on the band wagon, posting inept nonsense about 'two-tier' policing again.

You know what would be great? If no journalists bothered to turn up, if no MSM reported any of the utter bollocks that will undoubtedly be unleashed at their annual conference.

Hahaha. We need so much more of this Private Eye style ridicule when it comes to Farage. No one should be taking him seriously any more.
Wildfire in Clacton
AS temperatures soared on Friday, Essex fire authorities reported things were so bad that a man's pants had caught fire.
The individual, identified as Nigel Farage, had claimed Essex police had told him to keep away from his by-election declaration.
"We've never seen such an enormous fire coming from a single pair of Union Jack Y-fronts," said a police spokesman. "We urge members of the public to avoid pants on fire by at least coming up with a half-decent excuse for their cowardice."

No day was ever made worse by an encounter with a swallowtail. Happily, the Montes Universales is home to a thriving population of Iberian Scarce Swallowtail, so no day there passes without time spent watching them flirting, fighting, feeding, or simply basking in admiration.

Why isn’t there a total moratorium on all reporting on Reform until after the multiple investigations into their finances have been completed? Free propaganda for potentially corrupt liars should be banned. It might make them think twice before breaking rules and taking the piss out of all of us.

The only things this ridiculous Clacton by-election farce have confirmed: 1) Farage is wholly unfit for public office, given his willingness to abuse it 2) Farage is corrupt 3) Farage is an attention-seeking, charmless, lying dickhead 4) Clacton has let us all down. Again. That’s it.

What the hell is the BBC 6pm news doing leading with Farage's clickbait about using the Royal Navy to stop immigrants? An absurd soundbite from a tiny party with a disgraced leader and that's the most important news in the UK today? Dear God. The rot has truly gone deep.

The BBC cancelling Winterwatch is such a shame, especially when we need to be connecting with nature more than ever. If we want people to protect our wildlife, we have to show them it! Add your name to ask the BBC to reconsider. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

Tell the BBC: Save Winterwatch!
The UK is losing its wildlife, and shows like Winterwatch are vital for connecting us to nature. The BBC's decision to cancel it makes no sense. Let's ask them to rethink this! Add your name here:
