When you upset one of Farage's token non-whites, expect him to suddenly care about Racism
Remember, it's only Racism when it's directed towards Right Wing people with money.,

Nigel Farage is shocked, SHOCKED to find racism in his Party

Non #Brits can ignore this from the start but I am taking advantage of my new character limit to rant about The Archers and racism :)
This week’s BBC Radio 4 Feedback had a fun segment on the new Muslim characters in The Archers and their celebrations of Ramadan, which this year happens during Lent. It’s really brought out the little-Britain brigade, and shows why Nigel Farage is so popular – And why I left. There wasn’t a single non-racist caller-inner.
Here’s a summary of the calls to the BBC (whose mission from 1922 is to: “Inform, educate, entertain”) in case I ever decide I want to go back there in some mad moment of thinking I miss the place.
From Jackie in Surrey (It's always a Jackie in Surrey):
"I am a regular Archers listener, and I do want to pick the Archers up on the current focus on fasting for Ramadan. I am all in favour of diversity in explaining about Ramadan in this context but what about mentioning it is also Lent? I am an Orthodox Christian, and we also fast during the whole of Lent by cutting out meat, fish, dairy products, and cutting down the amount eaten. This has been the practice for centuries, and only the Western Christians over many years reduced this so that now fasting is almost unknown. But at the very least, Lent should be mentioned. Where is the vicar?"
[Note: Lent was very much mentioned, Linda and Mr Malec had a little verbal spar about which religion had to give up the most, and which was hardest: Lent or Ramadan – And all the other religious show characters are still doing Lent stuff.]
Hello, feedback. I'm Judith Conzen, and I'm phoning from Ilford in East London (And my racist tool for the day will be sarcasm, please Bob):
“I'm intrigued to note that Linda Snell is embracing religious practice and fasting for Ramadan. I'll be listening intently to hear if she follows up on Yom Kippur, which this year will fall on October 2.
From Patricia Farrell:
“I am shocked that during the time of Lent, a time that is sacred to followers of Jesus Christ, There is no mention at all of our Christian religion during this important period. It's very upsetting that the program supports Ramadan, but absolutely sidesteps any mention of lent. BBC bias? I think so.
Hello. My name is Morris Press, and I am from Teddington in Middlesex. [I could have guessed that within about 20 words]:
“I have been an Archer's listener for over sixty years. However, I never thought the BBC would impose their new woke policy on Ambridge. Last week's episode of the Malecs and Linda sitting down to a Ramadan meal and prayers was a real low for me.
Richard, Dumfriesshire (Aah! Finally a famously unsectarian and tolerant area):
“The Islamization of the Archers proceeds at pace with the Snells fasting for Ramadan as Easter approaches is Alan the vicar joining in with his Hindu wife Usha? We've always been told how racist the countryside is. Perhaps all will be resolved for the tearoom's pancake eating contest.”
…
Now some listeners echo the views of Sylvia Delico from Northamptonshire (Are we ever going to get any from Birmingham or Leeds?):
“Well, I'm not offended by the Muslim characters observing Ramadan [That’s nice of you!]. I do find it offensive that two Christian characters are being woke by fasting alongside them. This is supposedly a story of everyday country folk who live in a farming community; and are not led to promote the BBC's woke identity.”
From Andy [Who it seems has never listened to The Archers]
“The idea Linda Snell would fast is nonsense. It's one thing to introduce them to the village. No one could object to that. But the prayers and doctrine have no place in an everyday story of country folk.”
[“Them” – Yes Andy, we see, turn down that dog whistle won't'cha?]
[Narrative: In this case, it's not the inclusion of Ramadan, but the fact that one of the best known couples in Ambridge, Linda and Robert Snell, are joining in. How convinced are you, Cara, by Linda Snell's involvement? Some of our listeners are saying that it feels a little out of character. I disagree. I think this is absolutely something that Linda would do, and I kinda smirked when she, admittedly, a bit like a boy in the china shop, just went in and goes, I'm doing Ramadan with you.
Linda's a very curious person. She's somebody who's very interested, and she's also somebody that when they're in their guest house, she wants to make them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. And that, for me, I wasn't at all surprised when Linda said this. And, actually, within our group as well, people have really welcomed how this story line has played out, because they've learned quite a lot along the way as well about their neighbours or friends and their faith practice.]

‘Nigel Farage feels real’: why young British men are drawn to Reform
Once, anti-establishment youth disillusioned with mainstream politics headed left. Now increasing numbers are tilting right. Why?
Disturbing read about young men being suckered in by Farage and other grifters
Now, I know you’ve all moved on… but please take a moment to remember, just how fucking utterly corrupt and vile the Tory party were and are. Thank you for your time #brexit #tory #tories #toryscum #politics #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #ToryCorruption #farage #nigelfarage #reformuk #Gammons #KemiBadenoch
It is kinda wild that Donald Trump managed to survive an assassination attempt and Nigel Farage managed to survive a plane crash.
Two utterly horrible individuals who had near-death experiences and it just seemed to make them worse people.
They are good pictures though because you get to see them as frail and weak humans, in need of the help of others - just like the rest of us.

Look at these two leaders, one upright, engaged, lucid and logical. One bored, slouching , not interested. Trump will no doubt rant on social media about this, as he’s too much of a coward to do it to Macron’s face.

Nigel Farage wants you to love him as much as he loves Trump and Musk
This is what Protest Voters look to the rest of us, some oily creep sucking up to powerful white men.
Nigel Farage will be sitting in the 'also-rans' with Steve Bannon, whimpering on the sideline while Elon takes all the power.
By the way, the UK sees the American President as a "mentally unwell narcissist" but don't tell David Lammy or he'll cry.
