To be fair I do like that moopy is the one place that tends to hate Farage etc more than I do. I find in real life that people seem to be less triggered by his cunticity and it irritates me

While I have no problem with Nigel Farage receiving physical harm I personally don’t like the precedent it sets. There are far more unhinged people on the far right who would up the ante. So I’m not sure where it ends.

Given that the murder of a sitting MP in 2016 should have been where it ended, I have some sympathy with this. The far right are violent and unhinged but we can't be cowed by them.
 
The view will be that it’s wildly disproportionate. More so than any election I can make out. The conversation will have to happen after that.
 
The only real difference will be that it’s a right wing party that are most obviously getting screwed over by first past the post this time. Actually, that does seem like exactly the sort of thing that will suddenly get all the gammons screeching for PR.
 
Like is he STUPID!?

He must have done a million test questions about “how can you relate to the British people?” and the best him AND they could come up with is he went without Sky!?

I’d have more respect if he said “you know what, I fucking can’t but I’m out there listening to my constituents day in day out”
 
I come back to Joe Lycett on the Kuenssberg show. You have to remember the depths the Tories were plumbing to get to him. The dregs or the backwash, whatever phrase Lycett used. He got the job because Liz Fucking Truss was a shitshow, they had no decent alternative, and nobody else wanted it.

Sky was only really in its infancy when he was 10 anyway, and only the upper middle class kids ever had it at that time. I’d say only about 5% of kids at school had it, and it only got more common by the time we were 15.

I was trying to work out if Sky TV was a thing in his childhood, but got depressed by how old I was and gave up.

I remember it but mainly because I remember thinking how ugly the dishes were. Or the "Squaerial" which was genuinely hideous. But yeah, only the really posh kids had it in my day.
 
Rishi is my age so I know the timeline well.

Sky really would have kicked in when he was about 10, and it became quite uncool that we didn't have it by about 13/14.
 
We didn't have teletext until 1995!

This is absolutely turning into that sketch now..."we used to get up at midnight, half-an-hour before we went to bed..." etc etc
