I can’t empathise enough how dangerous the Tories are right now.

ITYM "emphasise"... but yes, this is indeed pure Farridge.

Diplomatic incident ? How so ?

More likely a disciplinary for the gunnery officer who missed.

Pure Farage shite.

Chris Felch has succeeded in nothing other than making a fool of himself. His couldn't make a diplomatic remark, let alone an incident.

Espèce de con.

The news here in France is obviously focussed on the fires in the south - a man has been arrested and is being held under garde a vue for arson - but did show a tiny clip of Philp the Wilp without comment. They weren't shooting at him, though I think they had every reason to. I'd have keel hauled the slimy little cunt.

And I rather like this:

Alex Andreou @sturdyalex.bsky.social

The Home Office promised to put a stop on cheap inflatables crossing the Channel, but somehow Chris Philp's ego got through.

I never realised just how weasel-like he looked until now.

But hey, I'm LEFTFILTH* so I would say that.

*An epithet I'd not heard before until a mate of mine said someone he knew used it in BTL comments on news stories.

Incident's putting it a bit strongly, but he's accused the French Government of firing guns to intimidate him and has been massively rude to them about how they're not stopping "illegal crossings" (the numbers have been down quite substantially, I thought).

This is a senior politician in what's mostly been the natural party of government we're talking about, hard though it sometimes is to believe that. It's not some obscure local politician. France will be massively pissed off.

With fires getting perilously close to Bordeaux, I think the French government has got far more important things on their mind than a minor British politician trying to score cheap political points - especially as he represents a party full of climate deniers.
