So I was clearly disappointed many on the left, and normally...The challenge to his right would have come from Labour's traditional opposition, the Conservatives, but they, too, saw major losses in last month's elections, and the party that's increasingly taken their place is the further -right Reform UK.It won nearly 1 ,500 council races, which is clearly great news for its leader, Nigel Farage, biblically accurate frog prince and professional arsehole.Now, we've talked about Farage before.He's the provocative bigot who spearheaded the campaign for Brexit, and has, on multiple occasions, had milkshakes thrown at him.Here he is, right after one of those incidents, looking like he's modeling a suit from Joseph A. Bank's Bukkake collection.
Farage built the Reform Party around his usual right -wing talking points, which are heavy on the xenophobia, as you can kind of see through videos like this.
You ask yourself why.public services have diminished.You ask yourself why.Rents have gone through the roof.The population explosion has done that.And then you look at parts of London, for example, where the road names, the underground signs, aren't just in English, they're in a foreign language as well.
One million people living in this country don't speak any English at all.
Okay, first, and I think you probably already know this, that one million figure is just bullshit.As of the most recent census, only around 160 ,000 people in England and Wales said that they couldn't speak any English.But also, a British man complaining foreigners showed up and now this road sign isn't in the language I speak is fucking bold, given, you know, history.I'm just saying, the largest lake in Africa wasn't always called Lake Victoria.It probably started when some pasty white dude showed up and decided to name it after his national mommy.And as much as I'm sure everyone liked imagining her drowning in there, it is probably time to rename it.
But despite all of that, reform's anti -immigrant messaging has clearly found an audience.Just watch this video...reform candidate from earlier this year denying charges of racism before then talking to a supporter who slightly undercuts her argument.
I think the thing I hear more than anything else is fascist and Nazi, which is the furthest from what we are.We're just not that at all.None of us are racist.No, I'm not but they tell you that if you say something I've never been racist.No, but I'm getting that way.
Whoa I've never been racist, but I'm getting that way.Well, guess what if you're considering it you're actually already there It's not like getting bags.You don't have to wait for the racism to grow in you did it The journey is the destination
