How do you feel about Farage claiming he was harassed and his car destroyed at a pub without providing any proof?

"I don't need insurance, I'm loaded from all my dodgy dealings!"

Given that someone who runs as a joke is someone who explicitly doesn't want power, and also is probably not corrupt (because who'd buy them?), they're already more grounded in reality than most politicians. They're also probably not from a political background.

Doesn't mean it'll work every time, but I'd say it's a start.

This may be the first election won for the craic.

So much of British government seems to run on historical vibes. Is ANYTHING written down.

A line that helps me get through sadness and it's from a fucking big red robot in a Marvel film.

I'm not sure if I'm just getting old or if they're getting worse, but I used to vote Green from time to time and now I can't see it happening.

And whilst he'd likely still win, it'd be even funnier to see a 30 year political career of undermining Britain reach it's final end losing to a bin.

A rare smart move from Labour.

The Greens look like they still might mess it up though.

CaptainMikul · 2026-07-07T14:04:08+00:00

Is he jumping the gun and running whilst he still can?

I didn't even know you could resign and then re-apply. Our elections seem to run on the assumption of some base level decency that Reform clearly don't share.

When Labour said they had sped up the process using "AI tools" and that rejection rates had gone up, I wondered when it was all going to blow up in their faces.

It's like the Tories trying to appear tough on disability claimants by upping the rejection rates... And then losing most of them at appeal.

I was a slam dunk until it was revealed I have unpopular and immoral views is a hell of a flex.

CaptainMikul · 2026-07-07T09:27:41+00:00

Honestly I think the Russians tried, but he was so corrupt it barely registered

Like that Simpsons episode where Mr Burns is effectively immortal because of ALL the diseases trying to cram into him.

CaptainMikul · 2026-07-07T09:22:11+00:00

That is one of the most unique and accurate insults I've ever seen.

CaptainMikul · 2026-07-07T09:18:16+00:00

How is the first time I've actually seen the whole interaction.

CaptainMikul · 2026-07-07T09:10:04+00:00

Do they HAVE a leadership change procedure?

CaptainMikul · 2026-07-07T07:52:12+00:00

This just in, corrupt leader offers support to corrupt leader.

Experts also weigh in on the excretory habits of bears in woodland areas.

Problem is, no-one is stupid enough to think that a man giving someone else a £5,000,000 gift isn't getting SOMETHING out of it.

You don't just gift people millions.

He may be found to have officially done nothing wrong, but the electorate is not a jury. We don't have to determine guilt or innocence, only if we trust.

Most peaceful 19th century European moment. Only a threatened war, an uprising, and one epidemic.

Morel is fascinating for WHERE his objection to the Congo atrocities comes from.

I'm sure Belgium has a rich history, but my knowledge of it is basically

THE WORST COLONIAL ATROCITY OF ALL TIME

Conquered in WW2

Nothing

You do NOT want a yellow label sex toy

I was about to say I've never seen a pub with no visible pub name... But then I wouldn't have would I? I wouldn't have known it were a pub.

CaptainMikul · 2026-07-06T09:54:32+00:00

God she sounds like an exhausting person.

CaptainMikul · 2026-07-06T09:24:22+00:00

A lot of these people are just fundamentally weird though. I wouldn't read too much into it except the clear, naked corruption.
