The correct response to this would be to make all the evidence used to draw the conclusion public, then challenge Farage to respond, otherwise people will just pick their opinions on the matter based purely on who they trust.

A big problem why we didnt have that and why its still not enough, is that anytime we counteract misinformation or hate speech, we keep telling each other not to "feed the tolls" and not to react to "ragebait", which means these comments can flourish.

The complaint I had years ago, which I posted about repeatedly, was that the online right had a well financed, coordinated disinfo brigade that spread lies daily and there was nothing to counter in a rapid react way. Many of us worked hard to build one and it’s finally working.

I don't want to be a cunt but the way this is being reporting is kind of... gross? Clicking the link leads to a report about homosexuality being criminalized for the first time in Niger's history. Asexuality is only mentioned insofar as the acronym "LGBTQIA+" is used a few times.
In June 2026, the nation of Niger became the first nation in the world to criminalise asexuality, as part of a wider crackdown on the LGBTQIA+ community. The country, currently run by a military junta, broadened its anti-LGBTQIA+ laws, increasing the criminalisation of LGBTQIA+ ‘practices’ to include anyone who ‘attempts to’ participate.Niger criminalises same-sex intimacy for the first time in its history

Neighbouring francophone countries under military rule, Burkina Faso and Mali, also recently criminalised homosexuality

The West African nation of Niger has enacted a law criminalising consensual same-sex intimacy for the first time in its history.

The new Penal Code of Niger is understood to introduce a provision criminalising ‘indecent or unnatural acts’ and ‘sexual relations with a person of the same sex’, though the Code is not yet publicly available. It is also understood to contain other wide-ranging provisions such as criminalising ‘LGBTQIA+ practices’ and involvement in organisations ‘for homosexuals or LGBTQIA+’. Imprisonment terms are up to 20 years and are accompanied by heavy fines.

On a positive note, judging by how furious these fucks are and how they've brought out the real big guns to force Ukraine to stop, the strikes against Russia's oil industry are clearly having a very serious impact.

The Trump regime and the EEOC have shifted federal civil rights enforcement to place a high priority on challenging diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and actively encouraging white men and other workers to file claims based on reverse discrimination or sex- and race-based preferences. #Pinks
