The Hit Pieces Start
June 4, 2024 Longrider General News, General Rants, misanthropy, Political, sophistry 2


Nigel Farage is getting under their skin at the Guardian.


Reform UK’s leader, who is also its majority shareholder, has influence over rightwing, socially conservative voters. That frightens the Tories, some of whose supporters like the sound of Mr Farage’s antediluvian views. His parties have fomented rage, paranoia and xenophobia. He can claim to have been responsible in large part for Britain’s departure from the EU, a historic mistake for which this country continues to pay a heavy price. His Brexit party’s indirect electoral impact, say academics, was substantial: in splitting the leave vote in Labour seats, Mr Farage cost the Conservatives around 25 gains from Labour in 2017.


And so the [censored] starts. What these cretins seem unable to grasp is that his views are shared by decent people across the country. There are not antediluvian, they are rational and reasonable. But never mind, just scatter the usual far left buzzwords and hope a few of them stick, eh?


As for Brexit being a failure, this is not down to Farage, but those tasked with implementing it.


. Mr Farage’s blatant racism at the start of the campaign – claiming that Muslims lack British values – should ring alarm bells.


Muslims do not share British values. This is an objective statement of observable fact. Certainly alarm bells are ringing as scenes such as those in Batley play out. Pointing out this truth is not racism, because Islam is not a race. It is a totalitarian ideology that is the antithesis of British values.


However, with the former Tory prime minister Liz Truss appearing on far-right YouTube shows…


This is a reference to the Lotus Eaters. Jess Phillips complained to Sunak about this appearance, because Carl Benjamin once made an off colour joke at her expense and she is still butt hurt about it. However, the Lotus Eaters is not far right. To say that it is, is a falsehood, but this is the Guardian, so lying is par for the course. These vile [censored] never let facts, reason or truth get in the way of their prejudice and bigotry.


That they are openly attacking Farage and Reform tells us that they are worried. Personally, I’m not over optimistic. Nige has a decent chance of taking Clacton, but our system is a mountain for new parties, so at best, a handful of seats, I suspect.


But have you noticed that no one seems to be talking about the Lib Dems?

Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer had their first head-to-head TV debate of the election campaign last night
  • Both leaders were told to lower their voices during heated moments as they covered tax, healthcare and immigration
  • Sunak repeatedly claimed Labour would put up taxes by £2,000 - which Labour rejects, as the figures are based on Tory advisers' assumptions
  • Starmer said waiting lists had gone up since January 2023, when Sunak pledged to cut them - the PM said they are coming down now
  • Asked if they would use private healthcare for a loved one needing surgery, Sunak replied yes, while Starmer said no
  • Senior figures from the Liberal Democrats, SNP, Reform UK and Greens took part in live interviews after the debate
  • All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

    'No plan' under Labour to tackle small boats - Coutinho

    The last bit of Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho's interview on BBC Breakfast that we'll bring you focuses on immigration - another key topic from last night's debate.
    Keir Starmer has "no plan" to tackle small boat crossings, she says, despite the Labour leader's repeated pledge yesterday to "smash the gangs".

    Pushed on whether the government's plan is actually working, when the number of crossings remain high, Coutinho says Rishi Sunak's "deterrent" - a reference to the Rwanda scheme - is the only way forward.

    For context: Starmer has previously said he would scrap the government's Rwanda scheme "straight away" if his party wins the election - and establish a new Border Security Command to work with Border Force, MI5 and the National Crime Agency on prosecuting gangs operating small boat routes.

    The small boats are coming because our Deep State wants them to land. And entry visas are being dished out to all and sundry because our Deep State wants the invasion of our country to continue. All of this could be stopped very easily if our Deep State had the desire and the motivation. But they do not.

    Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer resume campaigning after spending Thursday marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day
    Sunak has denied making dubious claims about Labour's tax plans - after being challenged in an interview for ITV's Tonight programme.


    The statistics watchdog criticised Sunak's claim that Labour would raise taxes by £2,000 per working household because people would not it was a sum totalled over four years[/size]On Friday the Conservatives announced plans to double the threshold at which parents start losing child benefit from £60,000 a year to £120,000 if they win the election Labour says it will make the government's mortgage guarantee scheme for first-time buyers permanent - which it hope will help 80,000 young people buy a home.

    Talking to Andrew Marr, Emily Thornberry managed to admit that murderous communist Cuban dictator Fidel Castro was a “divisive figure”, before heading into a praise-filled diatribe for the regime:


    “I went to to Cuba in the early 1990s when there was a great economic difficulties in that country and I found a country that was egalitarian with a fantastic health service… in my view it was a brave island that stood against a regime that for 50 years would not trade with it and would not let other countries trade with it too.”


    The health service wasn’t fantastic enough to prevent two million Cubans escaping the regime to get to the freedom of the American “regime”. Nor to save the 6,800 Cubans killed by firing squad and extrajudicial assassination. Maybe Thornberry paid a visit before the USSR’s full funding of the dictatorship ended and food shortages became the norm. Thornberry ploughed on when Marr tried to mention the regime’s “machine gunning people in boats including children when they’re trying to leave“:


    “To give more doctors to fight a the Ebola crisis than the Americans and that little tiny country could do that… they also exported their values across South South America and into Africa producing doctors and nurses… it was an enormous achievement for a little Caribbean island.”


    Those exported doctors are, of course, actually slaves of the state, which is paid for its “missions” and treats doctors as prisoners while its own health service crumbles. Starmer is proposing to have as the Crown’s chief legal adviser an admirer of a totalitarian state which imprisons and tortures opponents, prevents free expression, bans independent trade unions, discriminates against LGBT people and only allows communists to serve in parliament…
