Parody Nigel Farage @parodypm.bsky.social · 14/06/2025
Says the man who negotiated the biggest act of self-harm in our history, then killed thousands during Covid by being a dithering fool, then threw away his massive majority because he couldn't follow his own rules. Sit down and shut up you useless tit.

Thames Water who are £21bn in debt and just raised their customers bills by £800m a year, have given their executives a 50% bonus totalling more than £5m. Why aren't they all in jail?

Perhaps we could appeal to the 80% of voters who think Nigel Farage is a scumbag? Instead of everyone appealing to the 20% who are racist morons?

I need you lads to understand that Europe has an average birth rate of about 1.4 No charismatic politician bothered to tell you how fucked that makes us. But as we get older, we need more care, more GP appointments… Without immigration we will have no pensions very quick.

Analysis of the English local elections by Sir John Curtice: “support for Reform averaged 43% in wards where more than half of adults have few, if any, educational qualifications. In contrast, it polled just 19% where more than two in five have a degree.”

It Was All So Stupid

Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

I don't like sitting in traffic. I have better things to spend over £1k on each year. I like the gentle exercise as I get older. Its often quicker. Basically I cannot justify, or afford to use a car for all journeys in a small town like Shrewsbury. #ECargoBikes #ActiveTravel youtu.be/M1cXnrqNJfw?...

Here’s an interesting and important study on how fact-checking social media can lead to accusations of bias against right wing discourse - but it’s actually because that discourse is more likely to contain misinformation to start with. Paging @sheencr.bsky.social

I keep coming back to Paxton’s definition of fascism.
What Is Fascism?
The moment has come to give fascism a usable short handle, even though we know that it encompasses its subject no better than a snapshot encompasses a person.
Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.

Muppets Christmas Carol is without doubt my favourite festive film. However, a straight remake of Die Hard, all muppets bar Alan Rickman would top it. Kermit as John McClain and Fozzie as Al Powell, then Miss Piggy as Holly and Rizzo as Argyle. Movie gold
