General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

It is true that I like him.
I doubt he is homophobic, but certainly a liar because this describes politicians with moving lips.
If you could link to specific instances of homophobia and mendacity we can pursue a sensible discussion.

You're happy with the racism and Fascism, though?

Perhaps best not let this non-serious poster derail the thread, eh?

The odd thing is I am a serious poster.
I see Farage as a wholly legitimate politician with a huge following.
You are oblivious to the notion you are in an echo chamber.
 
No, you aren't.

You look for sources that conform to your bigotry and ignore those that challenge it.
 
So Farage was party to the Alex Jones nonsense.
I have read the guardian article, and see no confirmation of Anti semitism, but more accurately accusations of Islamiphobia. On that subject I applaud Aayan Hirsi Ali and Sam Harris etc.

Post about Twitter bots

Left: Oliver Dowden warning about twitter bots supporting Reform and affecting the general election

Right: Data shows thousands of Russian bots affecting the Brexit referendum

David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak have all ignored advice from Parliament's Security and Intelligence Committee to investigate the effect of Russian influence in Brexit

But now, that Reform are benefiting from the bots, and the Conservatives are not, they are suddenly warning about Russian influence in our democracy?

Ed Davy's been out living his best life again today. Bungee jumping this morning. Whether he returns to Parliament as Leader of the Opposition on Friday or not he'll definitely be handing in the best "What I did on my Holidays" essay.

As well as the best party political broadcast in many years, a politician actually coming across as human.

And Britain maybe correctly discards 21% of the plebiscite by delivering 1 to 7 seats in a 650 house chamber.
Rules is rules, I have no vote.

It very much depends. If that 21% is evenly spread across the country then yes, they wouldn't win many (if any) seats in a FPTP system.

OTOH if they have local focus like SNP, Plaid or the NI parties then low single digits of the national vote can deliver a disproportionately large number of seats.
