A MAGA theologian is now Farage's intellectual guru. Thatcher began to give these sorts a wide birth in office. Especially if they wanted to ban tits in Murdoch tabloids. Where's the political market for this stuff in England?
Nigel Farage appoints right-wing anti-abortion theologian as Reform senior adviser
Professor James Orr is understood to be close to JD Vance and influential in Donald Trump’s administration with his right-wing views on abortion and immigration. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/p ... 48126.html

Hard to see there's any market for that stuff. But I think he fills a gap for Reform in that he's a "clever person", a professor from Cambridge University. They don't have many of those, and are probably insecure about it deep down. He will no doubt stick it to other clever people a lot. As we've seen, the nearest thing they have to a clever person otherwise is Danny Kruger.

Might be worth getting Reform on the record about this, what with their prominent advisors. Let's see Farage stand up to his new wingnut welfare pals.

Usually academics who are outside of their wheelhouse. So psychologist Jordan Peterson and this theologian are their experts on why there's too many darkies in the country.

Yep, see also theologist Nigel Biggar who's moved on to history and human rights.

Kemi already signed him up as a Conservative peer.

Sounds like a tedious bawdy comedy folk club singer popular with Australians and rugby clubs. That Farage and Tice would listen to when Danny Kruger has fucked off home.

More from Reform's star thinker. Daniel Hannan came out with this exact same rubbish many years ago. He was laughed at by most people, but Kruger was taking notes.

I can just imagine sending G4S out to administer India. They'd probably invade Tristan da Cunha.
