Farage Ltd and Similar Watch

Probably not the right thread but it's come up here, so,
While on our recent European tour, we visited a couple of WW2 museums in Belgium and Luxembourg. During those visits obviously the subject of the Nazi persecution of Jews came up. The current situation in Gaza came came into my mind and it greatly saddened me that it appears the Israelie regime is currently visiting the same actions on Palestinians as the Nazi did to them, you'd think after hundreds of years of persecution culminating in the attempted extermination of the Jewish people by Hitler, that they'd have a bit more tolerance.
 
The data shows what we all knew, it's a single issue which the established parties are simply failing at with their messaging and actions.

If other parties weren't so scared and actually tried to re-frame the immigration debate then Reform would crumble, but instead they try to be Reform-lite and simply end up pissing off everyone.
 
Dunno where to put this, it involves “patriots” so here’s a good as place as any, police were called to a protest against Jeremy Corbyn having a meeting in a community centre in Portsmouth, lots of angry “patriots” chanting Jeremy Corbyn’s a wanker, banging on windows and doors, trying to get in.
Corbyn wasn’t there, he wasn’t having a meeting, it was an after school club for disabled kids who were rightly terrified.
 
The BBC are posing further questions regarding the house in Clacton. Farage claimed last week that this partner/partners family had the wealth to buy it however their investigations suggest otherwise. When she met him she was waitressing to make ends meet after a business she was running failed.
He’s also apparently sought further legal advice on the matter recently.
There’s nothing illegal about him giving her the money and avoiding the tax but if that is the case it would be yet another example of him “misspeaking” on the subject.

"A secretive new company set up by an aristocratic convicted fraudster with close ties to Nigel Farage’s Reform party “raises real red flags”, a leading anti-corruption expert has warned.

George Cottrell has used his connections to the UK’s ultra-rich to raise millions for Farage’s political parties in official and unofficial roles before and after being convicted of wire fraud in the US in 2016.

These days, public documents suggest the 31-year-old resides in Montenegro, where he has been accused of laundering cryptocurrency to fund a political party – allegations his lawyers have strongly denied.

But he remains active in British politics. Cottrell is seemingly still an unpaid aide to the Reform leader, whose side he is regularly seen at during party events, including recent high-profile fundraisers at a London private members club".
 
Something is going on with farage, he’s gone quiet, which usually happens when he’s fucked up on something, and he’s hired a taxation expert KC
 
"A row of men lean against the metal shutters that keep them out of Westminster tube station, as they piss through the bars directly onto the steps on the other side. Nearby a furious man in his early 30s yells “bring the cocaine here now, mate” into his mobile, as a crowd cajoles the staff of an overcrowded Tesco to open their doors so they can buy more booze. It is not yet 2pm".
 
My brother was there. We have spent several hours arguing on fb this week. He makes provocative posts and I am amazed how many likes he gets. When I try to disagree he and his friends all make the same comments - that the left are full of hate and trying to silence the right. Neither he nor his friends have shown any desire or even ability to actually say what it is they believe (other than all transgender people are evil and people who hate the country should leave). Any disagreement proves my hatred of them and desire to silence them.
It is almost as though they are members of a cult - personal opinions are forbidden and friendship with outsiders is prohibited.
I have never encountered anything like this before.
But I am apparently the most hateful person my brother has ever met, and have been since childhood (60 years ago).
