As you get older, it becomes clearer that anyone involved in politics in any fashion, whether local, national, or to be so invested they actually attend conferences and rallies... has a mental disorder of some sort. 

Ok.

Fake news media. That's not a cultish affectation. That's just bandages from the lobotomy required to get in the front door.

Without context, I reckon you wouldn’t know whether these are right wingers showing solidarity or left wingers taking the p*ss.

Is that an issue if they care deeply about who they vote for?..

They might be out of Government but the Tories will probably be braced for more criticism when the first section of the COVID report comes out .

Yes.  I've not come across many that aren't indoctrinated when they are the sort to attend conferences.

I'm willing to bet your sample size is pretty small.

What an odd bunch they seem to be. Another thing I noticed after the shooting at the rally was the shouts of USA USA. I think most of us thought the shooter was one of their own rather than a foreigner and so it proved to be. For all this wrapping themselves in the Stars and Stripes the chief danger regarding violence in America  comes from their own US born.

Farage going full "I'VE GOT MORE FRIENDS THAN YOU'VE GOT COWS" Partridge is excellent.

Yeah, well - that was just a performative interview by both sides, with each playing to their own supporters.

 

I get that the “he will do nothing for Clacton” is an attack line, but I don’t feel this was the occasion to really push that notion.

 

Sometimes you just need to wait a bit and let a pattern of behaviour form before challenging.

Amusing how she gets questioned so much and then has to resort to their 'you are fake news' line.

Farage is so desperate as well . I would feel sorry for him but he doesn't deserve any emotion like that.

sadly the poster was actually 'TRAM-PEDE'

So the secret service used health and safety concerns as to why no one was placed on the roof the shooter was placed on. They said the slope was too steep.

 

as you can see in this photo, it looks terrible…

Wrong spelling, anyway.

Thought they had quite a bit from GoFundMe fundraising for the poor lad's repatriation etc costs already?..
