Do you remember the good old days Like this! – before the 2016
referendum – when followers of fake man-of-the-people Farage were just idiot bigots – like the councillor who thought being Gay caused flooding...
Now he and they are idiot bigots with clout in the UK. Here
we are in 2019 and it’s a double-headed hydra. Farage has superficially cleaned himself up, clenched his jowls and called himself head of the Brexit Party (it is not a party - he has subscribers not members) leaving his
legacy of racism and misogyny and vileness far far (well – really not that far) behind.
While Farage aims to righteously fight for the will of the people (a will that
has never ever been defined) and – if he gets elected – to wreak more havoc on
the European Parliament – his old group content themselves with advice from white supremacist thug Tommy Robinson plus rape ‘joke’ impresario and UKIP candidate Carl Benjamin. The Guardian
Meanwhile the planet is STILL dying. No, it didn’t fix
itself while the UK spent 3 years shitting on itself. Check out - for example - the Wildlife
Trust's article on our government's spectacular failure to protect marine life

And not only have we not attended to the things we should
have done because of the mess of Brexit, the lives – often of
those in strongly Leave voting areas – areas that have historically been crapped on by successive administrations from the miners strike - through privatisation and lack of investment to suffocating the young with debt (thanks Nick) - have become much more precarious.
It is such a mesmerising mess it no longer feels real...
