But hopefully without people cosplaying Farage and Widdecombe.

Who would undergo the necessary dental work.

They are all so physically repulsive and socially awkward that it comes as no surprise that they hate everyone else. They have found their tribe.

Fucking weirdos, every last one of them.

It didn't stop Trump and the Republicans.

It's been a while, but from memory:

* Kid's don't necessarily love that stuff.
* How's the "daily act of worship" working to boost church attendance.

This year alone there have been over 140 school shootings in the USA, having flags in schools clearly doesn't make schools safer places to be.

Yebbut leftie indoctrination.

Oh, do fuck off.

What does it mean to be British, Lee?
If my memory serves me well, this 18th century state was formed to secure the Protestant ascendcy, provide joint military security against Spanish attack and merge Scottish and English maritime resources and venture capital to grab more colonies.
Good luck teaching the relevance of that to 21st century school kids.

It'll raise a little fillip in the dead hearts of the Reform hardcore, and thus everything is worth it.

Wasn't that Tice?

Are you far right? Reform delegates are asked. Of course not, just common sense politics.
Bloke towards the end standing next to a Sikh delegate asks how can they be as we've got of them here.

Dunno. I just saw it elsewhere.

BTL comment on that:

By the London liberal luvvie trend at The Spectator, i can appreciate why you might be pondering if Reform is "far-right."
Outside of your Metropolitan bubble, however, most people ( other than the omnipresent Left, which predominates in the media, academia et al ) would regard such a proposition as a puerile and impertinent slur.

As far as a couple of my friends are concerned, they're centre-right; under Johnson especially, the Tories were lefties.

One of the delegates described himself as a classical liberal. Which in Farage's circles is a racist with a Caymen Islands bank account out of reach from the tax man.

Blimey, UKIP are still around?

Oh yes

Fucking hell.

That's the banner of the Knights Templar on the left (black and white with a Maltese cross, £6.45 off ebay)...
The yellow and white one appears to be the banner of the Vatican City, £6.40.

How very strange.

The 'Disciples of Christ' protest against the persecution of Christians. Y'know, when Keir sends them to be eaten by lions in the arena and all that. Or when their permanent presence in the government is threatened, or they have to pay tax on their income. That sort of persecution.

Who are the Disciples Of Christ?

We are concerned citizens and practicing Christians who have identified a number of threats to the one true faith in modern Britain and beyond. We are an activist and protest movement, raising awareness and encouraging biblical education and Christian networking. The official launch of the Disciples Of Christ movement was the 25th of May 2024.

how do we do it?

Disciples of Christ is the missing link. The white space which needs to be addressed. That is Christian action. That is Christian activism. We encourage:

- Non-denominational, non-nationalistic Christian activism to revitalise Christianity.

- Raising awareness about the persecution and genocide of Christians worldwide.

- Challenging the threats to the one true faith in Britain and beyond.

- Typically we liaise with the police to ensure a degree of safety from those who radically oppose us.

- We denounce all extremism from all groups and make it clear that racists and extremists are not welcome at protests/demonstrations.

Labour has just one overriding task. Forget all the other missions and milestones: Britain faces a peril that was beyond imagining a short time ago. Saving the country from Nigel Farage is the urgent, patriotic duty of this government; it is vital that it prevents an extremist, racist, authoritarian takeover which would be against the will of the overwhelming majority of the population. Nothing else matters more.

Have only read this first paragraph, but I don't think this "Farage as PM in waiting" stuff does anybody any good so far out from the election. And if people vote for it, it's on them, not on Labour, any more than it's on the Lib Dems and the Greens.
