UKIP and Similar Watch

[BillyDee]

There's plenty of racist fucks who'll lap up everything he says. I'd take take him sticking around with whatever iteration of UKIP he wants if it helps split the Right vote.

Didn't want to start a new thread so dumped this here.

Germany arrests 25 accused of plotting coup

A far-right group is suspected of planning to storm parliament and install an aristocrat as leader.

www.bbc.co.uk

Only a small band of nutters by the looks of it but it's good the German authorities have stamped hard on it.

Reform holding a press conference titled "The Bend Reforms", and Nigel Fucking Farage is there.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Where’s that frogman with a mallet when you need him?

 

[Del Woppio]

False alarm anyway, just turned out to be a bunch of former Brexit Party MEPs joining Reform

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s a dead party! Yay!!!

Because the fucking Conservatives have lurched that far right they have nicked the spot in the spectrum. Booo!!

oh look. gb news being conspiracy theorists and sharing unsubstantiated propaganda. colour me shocked.

very interesting how there was no media culture storm that this organisation contrasted covid vaccines to the behaviour of 1930s germany.

The Ofcom rules were not framed with our type of channel in mind, said GB News

No fucking shit.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It doesn't get any traction because they effectively get zero viewers.

Ofcom are shite but GB News aren't swaying minds with their nonsense any more than Cowboy Dave did in town in the 90s.

Del Wop is a big fan.

They know they get big hits from people sharing shit on Twitter.
Similar to Piers Morgan and his shite TV show - Viewing figures 45 gammons. Twitter views and retweets - Millions

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think there is a decent chance the channel will die fairly soon. Here’s hoping.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Probably won't. Whoever's funding it (never revealed) isn't in it to make a profit.

It's amateurish rubbish and has no impact on anything. Fox News is drivel, but it's professionally produced and hits a lot of key nutbar areas in America. So it is influential. This is far too tinpot and far too unhinged, no-one takes it seriously. So they'll keep wibbling on to themselves.

Nice to see media outlets suggesting that as ukip lost all their council seats last week the party is effectively dead.
Downside is their "activists " etc are likely to bolster the tory vote if they do disband.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not really, membership was already at around 2,000 a year or so ago.

They were only defending legacy seats, they've been dead for ages.

UKIP have completed their mission. Don't need to exist anymore.

Well, no Nigel. As I don't receive large sums of money into my accounts from dubious sources which lead my bank to question where it's actually coming from, it won't happen to me too.
