The only positive thing I can say about Fargle is that while he's there the bigot vote is largely going nowhere else. We used to say that the British electorate, in all its pious, hypocritical glory, would never vote for out and out racism. The last couple of years have made me realise that this is exactly what they want, and if Farage wasn't around they would just as easily vote for Rupert Lowe or Tommy Ten Names.

One of the few positives attributable to social media is that decent legacy media* are being embarrassed in to shining a light on to Farage's foulness and of his coterie of cuntishness. Lying, dog-shit filth, the lot of them.

* How the BBC political team manages to swerve this is beyond me. Have they all got ready-to-sign Gbeebies contracts or Thai crypto accounts?

I am wondering whether they are waiting to switch back to the Tories when they finally boot Kemi.

She’s sort of lucky regarding Starmer and this media because if so much as a second of the attention was spent on her as it is on Starmer they’d already have had two leadership elections.

Well, if a week is a long time in politics then 2 years to the next GE is an awfully long time for a 62-year-old lifelong smoker who still chuffs through 30 a day to continue to evade old Mr Carcinoma.

I think we’re long overdue a bit of cosmic rebalancing. And I very much include Trump and Murdoch on that ticket.

Well isn’t it 3 years?

August 19th apparently.

Fingers crossed. However I still recall the 122 year old French woman (30 odd years ago) who had just become the oldest (documented) human to ever live. The BBC reporter asked if she had any tips for longevity, not really she replied but added, "I may give up smoking as they tell me it's bad for my health".
