If ol’ Nige were to migrate from England to the US the average IQ in both countries would go up.
😘👌🔥
US is about 0.04 points apparently.
So it's close, but there's a hyper specific (but incredibly likely) window he could drop both averages
My sides
Yep, trust the Brexit guy. That’s going just fine.
Nigel Quisling
It's a similar tactic to Trump that being permanently seen and heard is more important than any of the content.
"There is no such thing as bad publicity"
Curious your comment was minimized under "more comments."
That is the way these far right operate, they are loud, bombastic, aggressive. They get attacked but because everyone knows how fucked our system is right now, they appear to be fighting the system.
They are fighting to make it worse, the way to stop them would be to offer popular reform honestly. But alas that is more dreaded amongst our "left" parties than the right winning, or fascists.
It's how he reaches out to the dumbest members of society and maintains some kind of support.
Same tactic Trump uses.
The world would be better place if Farage failed to exist.
The only words I want to hear from Farage are **Charlie ** Kirk's final words. "Oghrg. Gurgle. Ahhh."
Edit for clarity.
For a moment I thought you meant Captain Kirk, and wondered when in Generations did he say that.
Why was Farage at a World Leader conference? He doesn't run any countries? Just another excuse to not be in his constituency I guess.
It's not a world leader conference, it's a meeting of assholes, grifters and criminals, and some of them are also world leaders
I honestly thought he had died or something.
Wishful thinking.
Same goes for Gary Newsom
At least he leads a state
I wasn't trying to rank them
There must be 1000s of people that lead a state that aren't there (given ~200 countries). What makes this guy's presence so special? Or, perhaps, his presence is also out of place
California is 2/3 the size of the UK.
Farage is an MP of a constituency of 75 thousand, and won the election for that position with 21225 votes. He's not a minister, he's not an appointed leader of anything, he's not even the leader (or any official part) of the official opposition in the UK parliament. Hell he's not even doing a passable job at being an MP given he's missed like, 70+% of parliamentary meetings, and hasn't held any significant surgeries in his constituency either. He's the literal definition of paid for doing nothing politician, shuffling around Fasc-a-Lago hoping to earn some favours by having his nose so far up Trump's ass he could diagnose the tangerine tyrant's appendix...
What's a surgery? Is that like a town hall?
Drop in session/office hours type deal for constituents. Our mps can help citizens (usually by writing strongly worded letters) with small civil matters like planning/building regulations, issues with county council (local government) and so on. It's also an opportunity for people to lobby their mp about national concerns too.
I see. Thank you!
Like a professor's office hours at a university.
In population, that's true.
In terms of GDP, California's is a bit over $4 trillion, while the UK's is $3.6 trillion. And in land area, California is 1.6 times larger than the UK.
Yeah, my pedantic unnecessary retort was going to point out the GDP thing but then note that there's some interesting commentary around saying "size" when five Canadian provinces are larger. But mostly that was me still being annoyed at the Davos soundbites
Well, politicians are supposed to represent their electorate, which happens to be people, not land, or profits.
Though given the recent years' heavily publicised American approach to elections, I'm surprised you guys haven't made the change to "land votes" or "money votes", given the former seems to be what most of Americans believe to be true (especially when looking at election maps), plus the latter seems to be true anyway...
Isn’t California quite large economically?
Fair. The US state with the next largest GDP is Texas and Greg Abbott is there
As a Californian, I really wanted to jump in with the "Fuck Newsom" crowd.
But California's economy rivals most countries. Last time I checked there were only five countries with larger economies.
A bit larger than the UK, yes.
people who
My grammar is admittedly pretty farm boy, so I thought I'd check. This might be saying the sentence was fine. But either way what your suggesting is nothing like how I hear people speak
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/that
I saw at least one typo there and figured I'd leave it for you
Gavin?
That's pretty funny. Both that I didn't get his name right (I'll put it down to him being irritating in a way I block things out); and that I got three comments effectively pointing out that California has a GDP higher than most countries without pointing out the name was wrong.
Fuck off frog face
The world would be a better place if Nigel was under some green land.
About 1.8 metres to be exact.
Nah,make it 0.5 meters. Makes it easier for wild animals to dig up and desecrate his corpse.
Then hej would actually be useful to some
How deep is a standard outhouse/latrine pit?
Dunno, but I'm almost positive that it's deeper than half a meter/50cm 😄
Annoyingly, he has survived both cancer and a plane crash.
Its true that the most evil people live the longest.
Nigel continues to lick the sweat off of Putin's balls. As the Red Coats say, "Sod off."
Farage owns the Reform Party. The leader of Reform in Wales just got a 10+ year prison sentence for taking Russian bribes to promote Russian agendas. Nigel often speaks favourably of Russia and Putin and regularly made paid appearances on Russian television before sanctions made that impossible.
It seems highly likely that Farage has also been well paid by Russia for his lifes work of disrupting UK-European relations.
N**el Farage is responsible for Brexit. UK would be better place if he withdrew from politics.
Farage is responsible? I heard it was a national referendum and the vast majority of votes were for Brexit. British are as bad as "I have no idea who voted Trump" Americans.
Pfffttt... 51.8% and as if it wasnt a bunch of old assholes who saw a bus and didnt think it would impact their holiday to complain about not being able to retire to Spain immediately after.
We don't all have to talk like we know everything all the time.
It was 52% to 48 on low turnout. Real fucking landslide. And much of the funding came from Arron Banks, who went to Russia as a young man and came back with a fortune, the origin of which he has never convincingly explained.
And who's fault is the low turnout?
You guys always whinge and then vote stupid, then blame the politicians.
Where would the blame lie? The idiots who believed the lies or the cunt with the megaphone spreading them?
Hard truths. New Labour only ever knows how to run to the right of the opposition and the old Conservatives can't campaign their way out of a paper bag. So it's Reform UK in the next election, strictly due to liberal incompetence.
Shows what you know.
Seriously you might want to look it up because majority does not mean 51% of those who bother to turn out. Which was mostly no one because it was seen as a political performance piece and not a real idea.
Then the idiot government screwed it up further by running headlong into a brick wall with zero plan. It was always going to be bad but they could have managed the split better.
The world would be a better place if this clown would STFU.
Someone please shut this clown up.
You can shut the fuck up too
The world would be a better place if Greenland took over the US ...
Fucking twat.
This is fucking stochastic terrorism
How is it that this turd still gets any approval or even attention?
It doesn't help that Labour seem determined to fuck things up. They have such a big majority that they could do so much to actually speak to the problems that regular people are experiencing that drives people to vote Reform.
I live in a pretty shitty area that has a high proportion of Reform voters. Our MP is Labour, but on the track we're on, we might have a Reform MP next time. Some of the Reform voters round here are racist arseholes, but most of them just feel so demoralised and unrepresented by the mainstream political parties that they are desperate for something — anything different.
Some of them actively acknowledge that if Reform won enough seats that Farage became MP, that they would almost certainly fuck up the country significantly, but they don't care anymore. They're so desperate for change that the idea of burning the established order down feels appealing, because even if things will get very shit, very fast, that feels like the only path where there's the possibility of hope for something good springing from the ashes.
It's simultaneously an irrational and entirely reasonable thing to crave. I can't say I don't sympathise.
What an insane position for them to take. It isn't the US there was more than two parties. Hell they can see that because they're talking about reform.
Just tell them to vote Green. Or maybe Labour if they get their act together over the next few years. There's always the possibility that Burnham will be in charge by that point.
He gets in the news constantly by issuing the most reactionary takes. He's got tons of friends in the corporate sector, because he knows exactly which assholes to lick. And his opposition is physically incapable of turning left, so he can periodically outflank Starmer on real bread-and-butter issues by saying "I'll expand the NHS! I'll be tough on the Bad Businesses! I'll fight for the working class [white people]!" while Labour just stutters and tuts and replies "That wouldn't be sensible."
Because there is no independent press in the UK. His masters will just amplify his message in one of the news outlets they own when it suits them.
The BBC gave him more air time on Question Time than any other politician by a huge, huge factor, and this was when he'd failed seven or so times to get elected as an MP.
World would be a better place without Nigel Farage in it, says me.
he would just be ressurected by putin's Liches after freezing him in the permafrost.
Having been born in Scotland, I would kick this sassenach English bastard in the balls but I doubt I'd find any on his person.
Punchable face.
Also
So which one of those guys is going "(omg) I'm voting I'm voting I'm voting" and which one is going "puki puki puki puki puki"? I can't tell just by looks, could go either way
Unfortunately farage is the only one running for popular reform, nevermind they are full of shit on changing anything for the better we all know the voting population doesn't know that.
People know they are being screwed, and labour, the "good" option, is cancelling the magna carta and instituting total internet surveillance, masterbaitorbases of every page you have considered whacking off to, and secret social scores by palantir type companies. Illegalizing protest, bad faith terrorism designations and bad faith false equivolence of protesters with the proscribed group, disallowing of legal defenses to the protest laws, what else, they've done more damage than the tories in the last ten years.
There is zero chance starmer keeps the far right allied to the us president out, and zero chance they restore the former glory of the republic before oligarchs ratfucked it.
Popular reform would take it, but we don't have that, and labour will make sure corbyn types don't succeed in doing that in a new party, because preventing popular reform from the "left" is their raison de etre, not beating the other parties.
The fascists, far right, allied with the US and Russia, plan on fixing elections everywhere. So them getting in could be a rather final problem. It's not just a few years of bad leadership, it's decades of the worst leadership, across the west.
Seriously, labour is the Enemy.
You write that like there can only be one enemy. Labour are being rubbish just now, but Reform UK the party of Putin would be worse. Reform is the biggest enemy.
Obviously yes, but people on these threads think that labor are the good guys and not the controlled opposition to the oligarchy that is throwing us into the arms of the Reform Party that believe it or not plans on fixing elections just like the United States whether they know it yet or not.
It is the exact thing in the United States with the democrats, in France with their bullshit parties, and the netherlands, everywhere. The far right is the only reform option and Society is degenerating into plutocracy and everyone knows they're being screwed but not necessarily by whom.
This is a fucking shit take when the current poll leaders are reform.
Labour are a bit crap, but reform are truly awful. You sound like the idiots who thought Kamala was the worse choice.
Cancelling the magna carta, freedom, surrendering your populations to big tech companies and putting Thiel's palantir and their ilk in charge of making secret social scores on you from every scrap of information, IS the danger. You surrendered.
All that shit's gonna come home to roost if Farage gets elected. Just like it has in the US because they let Trump win. Twice!
Nigel Farage be like:
"Русске есть, my fellow comrades? I mean fellow British people!"
This loser will say anything to try to get some attention
He's dangerous because he's sponsored by the forces of international fascism.
I agree
This guy just supports any notion that can destabilise the EU and weaken the west. If he's not a russian plant, he's fucking excellent at hiding it.
I wonder if there will be a bus promising an extra £350 million a year for the NHS if Trump colonised Greenland?
Scary thought, given how badly Starmer is doing, Farage might gain an even louder voice...
Fuckheaded Brexit leaders should not be listened to.
Man, the world is fucking depressing lol
Fucking HOW?
More fascism. That's a plus for "former" Hitler fan Nigel.
The right wing movements of all western countries are not really movements of that country. They are movements that are subservient to capital. The ultimate servants of capital will always serve the interest of the United States.
They are now, but if they achieve the absolute power they are trying to get, they will in alliance with factions of capital, especially the parasitic ones, cannibalize the rest. It is as inevitable as winter following summer.
If you are just referring to the concentration of capital then yes. That will continue.
It’s Nigel Farage, one of the chief proponents of Brexit. He’s still sticking to his guns that it was an inspired idea and a net positive, despite abundant systemic and anecdotal evidence to the contrary. So the real takeaway is “Farage continues to spout idiocy”.
When the media found they got more money from negative news pieces than positive ones.
Trump's simp friend wants his human god to do well. Go figure.
They're both serving the same master. Follow the money back to Mordor.
The world would be a better place if Trump and Nigel Farage were fired off into the sun.
What a terrible thing to do to the sun. I say we fire them in the direction of Voyager.
You're right. I stand corrected.
how is this idiot still a thing in the UK? I honestly thought you guys were better than this
Because rich weirdos keep throwing him money. The average member of the public is better than the rich weirdos, but we have to keep dealing with rich weirdos shit because rich.
but doesn't he need to get elected to something every so often? or is he just finger pointed to be the leader of a UK political party?
PS: pardon my ignorance of UK politics
He only needs to be agreed to be leader of his party to continue, then rule it with an iron fist and remove any rival who gets too popular, such as the even nuttier Rupert Lowe.
Last election, Farage did actually find a town foolish enough to elect him (Clacton, where he rarely goes), but it's not required (the current Green England&Wales leader isn't an MP) and Farage is a zombie leader who has kept on and on and on through many election defeats and parties falling apart.
I see, that does explain quite a lot.
Thanks for your reply
You get fucking wankpuppets in every nation unfortunately.
I'm just fuming he's stolen my title.
Strong odds he's the next Prime Minister. Unfortunately at least 50% of my countrymen are (still) stupid enough to believe the lies.
That guy looks like hes about to gargle some cocks.
There goes a man who knows who butters his bread and has no problems in getting his nose brown...
He's also a Russian stooge
He's a very British kind of racist who panders to a particularly British kind of white nationalism.
Naturally, the liberal response is to blame his existence on evil foreigners, while trying to outflank him on the right.
Remember when somebody cracked an egg over his head?
Remember when he got a milkshake right in the kisser
Remember life before you knew he existed?
Bliss
Nazi says what?
He is sort of an outright nazi it appears. I hate to even mention people discriminating against jews because Israel and their bad faith accusations, but farage was actually saying like all this bullshit to kids at his fancy private school, picking on some kids like way younger than him too. Like outright nazi shit, yay gas chambers kind of stuff. Ha ha, funny.
Ironically he is going to be one of the biggest supporters of Israel, the self appointed representative of Jewry despite doing the opposite of what the vast majority of jewish people in the west believe, whether they know about what Israel is or not, and many do know don't get me wrong.
The world would be a better place if Greenland took over the Untied States
At this point, the World would be better if even Mexico took over the USA.
Putins puppet, that he gets out of the permafrost once in a while to shill.
Even if you've never heard of this twat, this tells you everything you need to know about it.
What a lunatic.
I know I shouldn't hate someone based on looks and things they can't change, but I fucking hate his face and open mouth.
All of these grifters tend to be so incredibly ugly which kinda make sense thst ugly people in power would be in so much hurt that they lash out and burn the world with them. It's basically like incels
World would be a 'better place' if jagoffs like Nigel Farage just keeled over, says me.
Can we not just put all these idiots together on Epstein island and call it a day? Let them run their own country without military backing.
Put them all on Epstein island then finally dispose of all the leftover napalm in the same place.
Oh oh even better, Bikini Atoll should still be radioactive after we fucked the local population testing nukes, let's send them there.
Not radioactive enough, and way too tropical to be a suitable punishment. My vote would be the South Sandwich Islands, but I'd also accept St. Helena (where they sent Napoleon) if marooning them on an uninhabited polar island is considered too "inhumane" or something.
Far right traitors doing far right traitor stuff
These people are idiots and liars
Where is someone with a milkshake when you need them?
At this point I'd go a step and a dairy product further, and sacrifice even a whole ass wheel of Parmigianino just to make the frog-faced cunt shut up.
Who asked you?
Fuck this asshole. No one should be listening to the garbage that comes out of his pie hole.
A better place for him and his pals. The rest of the country gets thrown under the bus, as usual.
Snivelling little Quisling fuck
if that were the case, Farage would be instinctively against it.
It's a fucking international cabal of dangerous nincompoops.
Chickenhawk says what?
Fuck’s sake, UK.
Oh Nigel, bellend
"Cockwomble" is a recent favorite of mine, and seems like an apt descriptor here
Lol.
This dipshit.
Could someone in England do themselves(and the world) a favor and shove a doorknob down that man's malodorous gob?
We're just waiting until he goes to the US again and then we're going to revoke his citizenship. He can live in the mess that he constantly praises.
No fair, we already have too many of these fucks.
Yeah but you gave back James Corden so you owe us one.
Please tell me this would backfire on his support.
The world would be a better place if Nigel Farage would fuck off back to swindling investors out of their money instead of swindling the entire British nation out of its humanity and democracy. Lying git.
Russian agents are lining up for their talking points debriefing.
First Greenland, then Canada, then Iceland, then Ireland, then the UK.
First Venezuela, then Panama and Costa Rica, then Colombia, then Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and then Mexico.
These are the twisted and greedy ambitions of Donald Trump and the imperialists who prop him up, and the world must cop the fuck on to them before it's too late. He'd take Japan and South Korea if he could.
All the while we will see Russia continue to attempt to rebuild the Soviet Union, China expand into Asia, increasing wars between opposing nations in the Middle East, war between India and Pakistan, revolutions in South America, and who knows what kind of fucked up shit in Africa.
The peace and security of the world is at stake right now.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - Trump saw the Animaniacs song and took it as a checklist.
Hey Brits, take a cue from Canada and shut your fascists down.
He's definitely taking Russian money, so with any look they'll lock him up.
The problem is Labour are being a bit spineless and are concerned about the investigation being treated as a political assassination attempt. I don't know why they're bothering to concern themselves as reform voters aren't exactly facts oriented people and would claim that anyway. Frankly Labour just need to get a grip.
It's pretty poor showing for a human's rights lawyer I must say.
Got to be able to tell your right wingers apart. He's a fuck face but Doug Ford is not a fascist like Poilievre. The flu virus, deadly as it is, is not COVID.
Tracks perfectly well with him and Dump being Putin's henchmen and doing anything to dismantle and corrode the EU and NATO.
Fucking put a bullet in both of the scumbags.
There we go. There's the millionaire man of the people we expected.
Well, we already know that he is as big an idiot as Trump. Nothing new here.
No, Trump is almost supernaturally stupid but Farage isn't. He's a nasty, evil, racist piece of shit but he's not a moron.
Fricking Farage.
World would be better place if America and their genocidal colony fucked off.
Sure, Nige.
