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?

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.

Not being a regular Private Eye reader, I hadn't seen this until just now.

This is what we've all been saying since before Cameron announced the EU referendum.

Lee Anderson has apparently called for the return of the Invacar to replace Motability vehicles.

Yes, really.

Cunt.

An Invacar.

Did Anderson give a reason why he wants to bring these back from dead?

They could use rickshaw taxis, like in India.

What an arsehole. When he's called on this, he'll no doubt claim he wasn't serious. Just a joke, like on Top Gear.

Because the more obvious scapegoats the better.

Sources close to him reckon it's because lately he's not been getting the recognition he thinks he deserves given that cuntery is so competitive these day. It's his stab at regaining the "TC" (Top Cunt) title he believes is his.

I remember the older kids at Primary school calling the blue three wheelers "Spazz-chariots".
Then we all grew up and they learned a little respect.

Those older kids are now prime Reform fodder.
Just retired, metabolism chucked it in, classic "small potato on big potato" body shape.

And we could almost run a sweep on which Reform MP would be first to mention Spazz-chariot for clicks and giggles.


There are excellent reasons why the inva-car was dropped.
They weren't practical or safe.
Disabled people have equipment to move about and (take a deep breath) families who wish to travel with them.
On 31 March 2003, almost all of the remaining Invacars owned by the government were recalled and scrapped because of safety concerns. These included failing crash tests at Mira in 1974, a high accident rate and poor handling test results.

Those things are probably how many people end up profoundly disable.

Ha ha, yeah.

I thought I was going to end up mangled by a feral dog when I rode in one. The dog got extremely close to jumping in to my taxi with me, but luckily got tired.

That rickshaw ride was a picnic compared to riding a local coach. The driver frequently overtook with oncoming traffic bearing down on us. Somehow he always managed to get back into the correct lane.
