Being upside down in Australia doesn’t help 🙃

You need to get in touch with the Jol Troll detective agency pal. Not been upside down for a few weeks now and won't be for another couple of months.

Still, trotting out a well worn one is always appreciated 👍

There are some wild claims out there by all parties but can someone explain this?

Farage is a master at controlling the media and the messages he wants to get over.

But he is possibly the most influential man in the country at the moment. 
 

 

Yes.

Not at all. That condescending cunt is best ignored. Believe me, I have been doing it for years.

"Level of understanding". What an arrogant, bitter drunk he is.

You don't have anyone on ignore

I'm not afraid. I'm ambivalent really. And I've become more of a stoic in my middle age 😁

And I wouldn't necessarily describe myself as left leaning per se. More of a pragmatist 👍

 

Encouraging developments!

TBF, you have displayed more of a willingness to consider the 'other side' over the years. Just like me really

Whatever you say oh knowledgeable one 

Back for further jousting later. I have a border to cross.

It's a reference to Liz Truss' Kamikwaze 'mini budget' which crashed the market for UK government debt, sending swap rates soaring and leading to higher mortgage rates. 

Bit of the D Day spirit there.

I realise that. I'm ambivalent about the rise of the far right in Europe. But I'm pragmatic when it comes to my stance on most issues.

I'm surprised about that.

Wrong. Been around since the 20th century but really took hold with snowflake yanks in the 2010's. I suppose with 14 years in power, you weren't far off with the more significant emergence but there is no relationship between the two other than doves (Maggie called them wets) cynically moving with social trends.

There has nobody been more wrong, more often than this Australian.

I know what the reference is to. I don’t get how the Conservative Manifesto is going to add £4,800 to ‘your’ mortgage. It’s a number on the side of a bus type of politics. It’s from a woman who is going to be our next chancellor. 
I can understand the Tories getting desperate as they are so far behind but this is just nonsense.

Agreed

Agreed - looks like they are aping the Tories who continue to rollout that daft £2k figure. Focus groups/polling/research must be saying this stuff works, otherwise they wouldn't both be doing it.

"It’s a number on the side of a bus type of politics"

Seems to be all the rage.

They really aren't- and don't let soft soaps like Booby tell you otherwise.

I’ve just watched a clip of the incident on Sky News. It wasn’t a coffee cup. It was a couple of smallish lumps of concrete, lifted from a builder’s skip/bin. If you think that you can throw a paper or plastic coffee cup in a straight line for that distance then you’re an even bigger gobshite than I had you down for, Cheese. 
Throwing things at politicians, whether it’s a lump of concrete or a milk shake is totally unacceptable. That’s if it’s Farage, Abbott or anyone in between. It’s only a matter of time before some not right throws a cup of acid at a politician. 

It's quite clearly a milkshake, followed by an empty coffee cup that he picks out of a bin. You need your eyes testing, and maybe start lifting some weights.

Soft soap. I’ll add it to the list😊 (it’s a long one)

Haven't seen anything like this previously from Labour to be fair, but look at the above.

What's your point? That the Tories are more prolific at it or some conspiracy stuff about the above being a false flag operation?

Personally hope Labour don't go too far down this road.

It is indeed, well worn and well deserved.

That's the fucking Chairman of the Governing Party.

Rumours that Farage has ducked out of the leader debate with BBC, that Rishi got battered in when it was his turn.

There was a similar rumour about Starmer but this might be just as reliable.
