What a load of faux outrage.

So Farage committed the heinous crime of being privately educated. So did 62 of the current intake of Labour MPs.

He also had the temerity to have a proper job in the private sector, unlike some 30% of current MPs (of all parties) who have only ever been career politicians.

Farage didn’t go to university so they have to attack his school. Andy Burnham is Oxbridge but that’s ok because he likes Hex Enduction Hour by the Fall which makes him one of us.

Even though The Frenz Experiment is their best lp.

bargepole thinking Jonathan Pie is real is both the funniest and most inevitable thing on the gasroom in a long time.

Farage has been an elected politician for pretty much 30 years. Yet people still think hes not the establishment.

Politics is so bizarre.

I’m sure 62 labour mps are.

But they don’t present themselves as not being part of the elite and anti establishment.

The man’s a fucking hypocrite.

(Mind you, I find the whole Jonathan Pie character a hypocrite in itself as it came to major prominence when being paid handsomely, no doubt , by RT. Still, least he has that in common with Farrage.)

Farrage also, apparently, signed up to the Tory party at the age of 14. Now, I’m happy to die on this hill, but any 14 year old that actively signs up to ANY political party after a school visit, is a major weirdo. And needs to be on some kind of watchlist.

I agree, so weird when a teenager takes an interest in politics. They should all be doomscrolling TikTok instead.

You have no idea what I think. His real name is Tom Walker, a stand up comedian and satirist. But that clip really isn’t that funny, or accurate.

Either having sex or facing death

I like Stewart Lee but that’s just old man says things were better when they were young

“What a load of faux outrage” - he’s an actor, of course it’s faux. But well done for having googled him since.

It’s too fucking hot for this. Let’s call a truce until it rains. Or is that Woke?

Having an interest in the world around them, absolutely something to champion.

Sign up to an actual political party and follow them
Like they are some kind of club/cult?

14 year old should be out having fun and “touching grass” as the kids say these days. Hero worshiping the Starmers/badenochs/polanskis/farrages of the world at 14 is Absolute psycho behaviour. Cannot change my mind.

Never mind from the other side, the absolute weirdo behaviour it is from the adults trying to sign up kids to be part of there gang.
Gary Glitter, rolf Harris and Jimmy Saville tried that too.

I’ve heard enough, @NewStyleOfPlay and @bargepole are on seat cleaning duty until they can get along.

Only because it touched a nerve.

Ah Nottingham..yes. Seaside yes. Skegness, sadly not. South coast for me. I may see you and Andrew Lawrence down there shooting at small boats some time. :wink:

To be fair, he and his mates only turned up to get their expenses in Brussels and Strasbourg or to cheer when Beery turned up to make a big speech insulting some high profile Euro politico before heading off to the bar. He scared them good…

William Hague started off as a strange Tory teen but after his turn as Leader became more reasonable. Jacob Rees Mogg started off as a strange Tory teen. Er…that’s it.

I always think teen politicos (of all stripes) are like those Christian youth societies at college. People saying: ‘Hey it’s not all serious…we still have great fun…’

How does voting for Binface undermine the aspirations of anyone…except the bloke who gets less votes than him? They are obviously a bit worried. I don’t really see the point Beery Nigel is making, if he gets back in they’ll still investigate him…unless Clacton is planning to declare independence.

Pie was a hit on YouTube before RT pumped in cash wasn’t it? But you’re right, it was a bit rich. I liked him until I heard him interviewed and I found him to be a bit up himself.
