What's Nigel done now?

[Marty_d]

While we've been concentrating on the orange bull in the diplomatic china shop, there's another rabid right-winger causing havoc in the UK.

Despite being the English equivalent of Pauline Hanson, and being a major force in Brexit which the majority of poms now feel some regret for, this idiot is polling high enough for the words "possible future prime minister" to be muttered adjacent to his name.

There have been several articles recently about people's recollections of him at school, which he is attempting to deny, obfuscate and minimize.

This is one ... Have a read and tell me whether this sounds like a suitable leader of old Blighty.

He's NOT the Kind of Person I would like to see in Power. Has NEVER appealed to Me.  The arguments He put up for Brexit were well short of Honest. Nev

Hey at least Nigel never put 100% tariffs on us for.... anything.

The reality is Labor is politically  failing big time and the conservatives have become such a basket case, they make the Libs look like rational people caring for the wider population. The Lib demo are for some reason unable to capitalise mainly because they look like a lefty version of Labour, I guess. 

 

Quite amazingly, the Greens are on course to poll better than Labour: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/11/greens-overtake-labour-polls-zack-polanski

 

There is some resentment over the failure of Brexit, but that is more attributed to the Conservatives handling of it and Labour failing to grasp the new opportunities Brexit apparently provides than Brexit itself..

 

And Farage has the gift of the gab and uses it far more skillfully than Chump.. and he is able to deflect blame successfully to immigration and when it goes pear shaped, not enough of the press hold him to account for some strange reason.

 

Even the Reform councils that are sending their councils broke or being convicted of crimes seems to not make headlines.

 

I think it is a case of them at least appearing to be  listening to the little person..
