Why not just lay them and leave? What is it with people lapping up photo and video opportunities at such a time? Feels so staged.

Farage/politicians/celebs at every photo opportunity, innit.

This is the same man who just spent a full month exploiting the murder of a teenager for his own racist political ends to push his two tier bullshit, explicitly against the wishes of the family. 
 

The police in this case asked in no uncertain terms for people to not speculate about the case, then Farage claims it was premeditated without a shred of evidence. The police then stated they deliberately weren’t sharing more information as it might compromise the investigation, and Farage then announces sensitive investigation information about the suspect.
 

You see this trend throughout the right - TWO of Traitor Tommeh’s many convictions were for trying to collapse the trial of a grooming gang because he was stood outside the court broadcasting it to his fans. This is Farage’s method.

The right do not care about the victims they exploit for their own political ends.

 

They’re just treasonous little crooks.

Because we've become a nation besotted my celebrities and whom ranks as a celebrity has never been lower and all elevated by the media desperate for advertising clicks

I suppose I should be pleased that Farage has got The Mail on Sunday on top of the Times after him now and his popularity taking an actual hit for once but you cannot ignore that they could have done this years ago but chose not to

They always like to be seen to be on the winning side.

Bleak isn't it? I'm always interested in how much influence they have on public perceptions in reality. Whenever the media is under any scrutiny itself it tends to downplay the extent to which people pay it any mind but in some demographics (I'm thinking of my parents' generation here, mostly well into their 80s) tabloid newspapers are still their go-to for pretty much everything
