That's really worrying. He'll appeal to a mindless minority again.

No General election for 4 years so who cares?

Bloody hope lock downs are a distant memory by then.

Might get a few council seats in meantime.... Pffft.

We all made the mistake of ignoring him for the Brexit vote, don't make the same mistake twice!!

I'll be keeping an eye on what he's up to as it's bound to attract all the idiots and, as we have found out over the last few years, there are a lot of them.

This won't be news to anyone but there is a correlation here.

If you voted Brexit you're likely to be:

Anti mask*
Anti lock down
Pro general conspiracy/ "it's just a cold" mentality

*They don't get that masks have a part, however small, in lessening/ shortening the need for lock downs. It just goes over their heads.

Never trust an anti masker to have washed their hands after having a sh*t either. If they won't take 5 seconds to put a mask on, they won't take 20 seconds to wash their hands after a crap. Before Covid or now.

👍

He needs a back up after Trump loses (please, please). He'll then use the "Trump was cheated out of his win, you are being cheated by our system too, reform, reform!!!"

Poop: Haven’t you heard? Farage is the King of Europe! 🤣 So said, the bravest man that Farage has ever met: Donald J Trump!

WTAF is going on in 2020?

Well that's him booked onto the Question Time panel for the next 150 or so episodes.
Why don't they get the guy in the dolphin suit instead.

I try not to wish harm on others but this could backfire wonderfully and kill two birds with one stone excuse the turn of phrase). Then again, if he did catch it and end up with the long Covid (or worse) no doubt that would be a disguised deep state op to neutralise him.

The pound shop Farage that is Stephen Laxley -Lennon was arrested again yesterday, crying like a baby he’d done nothing wrong. Seems he’s back from Spain and was leading anti-lockdown protest.

Problem is they do attract the hard of thinking and yes both are in it for the attention and money.

Also a nice little reminder to De Pfeffel that the true director of far right politics in the country can splinter Tory support whenever he wants. Just in case he is thinking about trying to get a temporary deal with the EU or some such.

Very much this. Easy in our STW bubble to dismiss, but resonates with a lot of disaffected voters who are more against the main stream than they are for Farage.

Do not give him and his supporters an inch. Call out every lie and deceit and hypocrisy.

Ignore the little corporal at your peril. He is the reason Boris is Prime Minister.

Farage's booze and fags fund must be running low then.

It'll be like his other 'parties' opaque finances with him nailed on as supreme leader with no mechanism to remove him, basically a massive grift.

Local elections in May and I'm sure they'll hoover up some of the vote, feel sorry for all the decent councillors who have to end up dealing with a tin-hat wearing Faragite getting in on their ward.

He was on Good Morning Britain last week spouting anti lockdown crap presumably getting ready for this announcement. His main point was as populist (lacking in facts) as ever

Don't have lockdown because other people are dying of other things in lockdown due to less cancer treatments, suicide etc,.
Unfortunately they didn't bother asking him for the data on how many people that is versus how many would die of Covid with no lockdowns and also how the cancer treatment would have been done with the hospitals overflowing with covid patients

A message the government had consistently failed to get across.

I asked his office to get him to lead a crusade against the WTO the lady on the phone had no idea what it was . When I explained the wto to her and what will happen she said....” that’s worse than being in the EU.”
Total ****ing bellends.

This gives the anti-mask, anti-lockdown movement a well connected and media savvy figurehead. This will give the movement more publicity and in the eyes of some increase its legitimacy. It may not influence an election but it will influence public opinion and hence policy.

Argh...

The total ****ing nightmare of it is, there is, at least some merit in a Targeted adaptive isolation strategy, but Farage will twist it into a "its just common sense" "look at Sweden" BS argument, and worse still should that strategy ever actually be followed he won't stop pushing until he followers are gleefully doing the ****ing okey cokey at covid parties and they're dumping corpses in mass graves.

Shirley the security service can plant some dodgy material on his hard drive or make him have an accident?

Yup, Bill Gates and George Soros are secretly lizards and they want to use a fake mass vaccine programme to harvest our human DNA to better control us.

Well, they'd better start caring.

If Boris continues to **** up Covid and Brexit, it is possible that some of his MPs will see the writing on the wall. I know the speculation is that he will walk away after Brexit, but with the public mood as it is, I wouldn't rule out a vote of no confidence in the government or at least a Tory leadership coup next year. They need 2-3 years to distance themselves from this current calamity.

A lot easier said than done, you can't beat this kind of thing with facts - we saw that in the EU ref. Facts won't matter to their supporters. They're far too invested in their mindset to be able to back down and admit they were wrong anyway.

I've already seen people questioning the covid numbers on my local facebook group page. It's fine to question things but you have to be willing to actually look into it and change your opinions if it turns out to be unfounded.
When I said "yeah okay but the excess deaths?" (with a graph showing this year compared to the average of the last 5 years) that was just ignored.

He has already scored a win calling his ‘party’ reform. You can’t get more petty, reactionary or regressive than his politics. Now he’s dressed his dismal bullshit as some noble progressive cause. If the electoral commission don’t say anything trade descriptions should.

He seems to be referencing the Great Barrington Declaration which seems to be some non-SAGE science types arguing for anti-lockdown:

What do peeps make of this?
