FARAGE: We had a choice of one candidate how is that democracy?

LUKE: Who voted for you as the Brexit party leader? How many votes were cast for you as leader?

AWKWARD SILENCE

FARAGE: Well I founded it....

Absolute gold.
Farage absolutely kippered there. Incredible work
Farage did not found the Brexit Party. Catherine Blaiklock did. He can't even get his excuses right.

So I've been sent the link and it's 100% true - the NSDAP (Nazi party) did in 1926 turn its back on the Speaker of the Reichstag...... Nice role models Mr Farage
They are turning their backs on the Speaker and Fritz Löwenthal a Jewish member of the German Communist party in the Reichstag in 1930 not 1926 - the stock photo is wrongly annotated - but the point remains
I many ways worse of course because there's the added disgusting anti-semitism

Celebrity Doctor David Bull MEP of the Brexit party has filled up my timeline today. David is eager for us to leave the EU but in 2016 he thought quite differently...writing this letter warning of impact on NHS
So why has David changed his mind? Well who knows. All I can speculate is this - in 2018 Dr Bull joined Pagefield the PR/image management company....
Pagefield is run by Mark Gallagher a well known and active Brexiter

Meanwhile thanks to Talking Pictures I've discovered that during WW2 the actor Peter Butterworth was imprisoned in the camp where Wooden Horse escape happened. He was one of the vaulters. Years later he auditioned for the film and got turned down...because he didn't look the part
He also made his own escape... got caught by the Hitler Youth and joked he'd never work with children after that.
He ended up at Stalag Luft III of Great Escape fame where he met Talbot Rothwell who went on to write the Carry on films.... all the time he was working for MI9. Incredible story.

I am proud to bring you the ladybird book of Scapegoating part of the key #Brexit concepts series
Brexiters are the most blameless people in the entire world. Whatever goes wrong someone else is always to blame in #Brexit Britain brexiters can blame anyone for anything so long as its not the people actually responsible
Even when Brexiters do bad things newspapers other people are to blame here in a typical story in #Brexit Britain Boris Johnson starts a fire and the Daily telegraph blames it on Remainers we are thus governed by people who aren't responsible for their own actions

‼️Nigel Farage & TeamTrump

#Brexit2016Elex Thread 2

Nigel Farage has done more than any politician in a generation to yank British politics to the hard, nationalist right.

He is one of the most dangerous demagogues Britain has ever seen.

Thread: A Peek at the UK

1. While we are learning more revelations about #Spygate, and the Middle East is spinning up again, there are other parts of the world that we tend to forget.
2. Here is an update on some UK news and commentary from various open sources and intelligence reports:
3. First of all, political opinion in the UK remains split (much like the US!). The tally from the English local elections held on 2 May are in, and the only thing people can agree on is that the results confirmed whatever they believed about Brexit entering election day.

So #Brexit has become a game of semantics.

So Sir Graham Brady wants " legally binding guarantee that the Irish backstop could only be temporary."

But what does that mean? /1

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
Is he leaving space to accept the Tusk-Junker letter of Jan 14 being written into a codicil?

That's been on offer for a while. Article 50 (and the backstop) are by definition "temporary".

BUT.../2

That’s a LONG way from the list reported by @ShippersUnbound this morning and described by his headline writers as “peace terms” (ho ho ho) /3

#BREXIT craziness update so maybots deal is blown out of the water l. Similarly corbyns vote of no confidence fails and won't be backed by SNP and lib dems
Despite her #BREXIT deal being defeated by biggest margin a government has lost a vote ever maybot seeks concessions on backstop despite being told to bog off by the EU with no realistic hope of a different answer
Corbyn meanwhile refuses to talk #BREXIT without no deal being ruled out despite knowing she can't do this whilst maybot makes no concessions either.

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM
