Is Manfrog leaving Reform?

Nigel Farage has said "bigots" and "extremists" are not welcome in Reform UK, as he seeks to "professionalise" the party after its election success.

Addressing its annual conference in Birmingham, the Reform UK leader said the party was "coming of age" after winning its first MPs in July.

But he conceded the party had not been "professional enough" to properly vet candidates, following a series of controversies over their past comments...

They are bigoted cunts
You are misguided
I am saying what everyone is thinking

... He added that the party represented the "silent majority" and could have won more seats, but that "amateurism let us down"...

Yes Nigel, the majority. That'll be why tens of millions of people took to the streets to riot when you stirred the shit... Oh.

Get back in yer box ya gurning fascist cunt.

Wanted: Bigots who know when to keep their traps shut.

The silent majority had their chance recently. They didn't vote for you in a majority.

I really really fucking hate that phrase.

[davidjay]

If they're the silent majority how come they never shut up?

[Yug]

And, if they're the majority, how come they never do any good in elections - both local and national?

In the nearly 50 years that I've been interested in politics I don't think I've ever seen more than a couple of local councillors get elected at any one time, and I don't think any of them ever made it all the way through to the next council elections. Fargle, with his 4 MPs, is bucking the trend. And it's still a woeful showing.

Could it be that the gurning fascist man-frog is lying to his followers and telling them what they want to hear. He is, after all, a populist snake oil salesman, and that's how populist snake oil salesmen have made their daily crust down the ages. Could this sincere man of the people really be a cynical lying grifter? I think we should be told.

'The silent majority' is the meaningless go- to, gobshite rallying phrase for everyone on the hard right to justify their hatred of people who not like them. To everyone else, it makes them look like idiots.

If they're the silent majority how come they never shut up?

Neither silent nor a majority...

Farage appears t be uncoupling himself from the larger reform party.

Some YouTubers suggest he's doing the necessary minimum to convert it into a legitimate party.

This includes the very democratic "Distributing the assets to the shareholders".
In reality, this is Nige, Tice and maybe a couple of sleeping backers.
To me it sounds like a classic cash-out before the classic Farage flit.

How many previous parties has he joined, used as self publicity machines / cash cows.
Then, later, quit because "I was shocked to find myself surrounded by fascists".

It's what Moseley used to do. Loudly and publicly expel a few obvious bigots, use it as evidence you've changed, carry on quietly.

Yes. Next question .

I like the picture of the bloke in the bottom right corner. If he really is fearless he needs to tell his face.

Finally – to a soundtrack of Eminem and fireworks – the man himself. Big Nige. The rock’n’roll politician. Allegedly. Only for much of the time it felt as though he was just phoning it in. A greatest hits compilation of reality-bending dishonesty. Everyone to blame for Brexit but himself. He was exempt from changing the country for the worse.

Farage went on about the need to democratise and professionalise the party. But he felt distracted. As if his heart wasn’t in it. He tried to sound engaged, but it was as though he was bored. He’d made this speech hundreds of times before and even he had had enough of it. Imagine. Maybe he had reached peak narcissism and could take no more. Can see through his own bullshit even if others can’t.

After half of an hour of mindless talking, he checked the time and wound it up after going through his pet grievances. NatWest. The Tories useless. Labour useless. Nothing positive to add. No vision to add. Just him at the centre of the universe. Cue more fireworks and some balloons. Just to remind people they had been in the presence of greatness. Apparently.

I'm surprised Crace got an entry ticket. Sounds like he bumped into Clare Fox.

I speak to a delegate. He explains how he used to be a member of the Revolutionary Communist party before he realised there were too many immigrants. What he really wants to talk to me about, though, is that John Lennon was killed by an assassin acting on the direct orders of George HW Bush.

[Andy McDandy]

Ah yes, the Controversial Opinions Party.

(Trigger warning, ageist jibe at coffin dodger follows).

Let see how fearless he is when I walk by in a black cloak and a Temu plastic Halloween scythe.

You know, for a minute there, I thought that the Cunt Olympics was an actual thing. It really should be.

To paraphrase the great Kenneth Wolstenholme…..”It is now!”

With Seb Coe being interviewed on the BBC by "journalists" who will trouser north of a million quid for reading out leader columns from the daily mail in the period of this parliament?

Aye, that is how it currently works.
