I’ll tell you how bad Joe Biden is. He makes Donald Trump look like a man in control of all his faculties. That’s how bad Mr President is today. By November he’ll be worse. And in almost 5 years time, at the end of his 2nd term, should he win it, he’ll be losing the battle not to piss himself 5 times a day. Because he doesn’t remember which room the toilet’s in. So just a brief question to the Democratic Party of America: really?

Over here we have different election issues. Somewhat more pressing as we have but 5 days to go!!!! before relighting our nation with Leninist ideology. Ok, maybe not the full ‘red mist’ that will descend immediately, but it’ll be in the background, loosely disguised as a beefy northern bird with red hair.

And as we have a ‘first past the post’ electoral system here, horse-racing analogies are as perfectly acceptable at this time as debates trying to get men into women’s toilets.

So late onto the field trots a 3-legged nag with a shaggy mane and one eye on the glue factory. It runs under the name of ‘Farage’s Reform’ and has never won a race in its long and miserable life. Yet it stands proudly among the thoroughbreds (Starmer? Thoroughbred???).

Farage, the xenophobe’s xenophobe, has spent the last 15 years, as well as telling us how bad ALL foreigners are, whether in the EU and telling us what to do, or whether they’re arriving here in boats, planes and on the backs of lorries, he’s been saying that his party, whatever that may be called at any given time, are absolutely NOT racist. Perish the thought. Heaven forbid. He wears a suit, FFS, how can he be a racist???

Yet he’s just sacked three candidates for being racists. And then, some Reform ‘canvassers’, pre-election door-knockers, were caught by secret cameras being really, really, REALLY racist. Ok, they didn’t do much due diligence in the selection process, they had neither time nor resources, so the people who turned up went out extolling the wonders of the Reform party. By calling Rishi Sunak a ‘fucking Paki’ and saying how incoming boat-people should be used for target practice. In case you happen to be a UKIP/Reform fan and don’t therefore realise it; those are not nice things to say.

So Farage, rather than have the ready answer, apology, excuses for which he’s famous, turned into Donald Trump. A lying, denying ‘fake-news’ist.

“It was a set up!!!”, he proclaimed, “they weren’t my people; Channel 4 planted them”. And consequently, pissed off with the BBC for showing the footage, Nigel refused to go on the Kuensberg show today. And for any party leader, 4 days before a general election, to not go onto the foremost political tv show we have, is a virtual statement of having given up. Of near suicide of a party which was a bit of a Frankenstein’s monster in the first place. Cobbled together from old bits of other failed entities.

I used to always be in admiration of Farage, even though not liking him particularly and hating most things he stood for. But now? He’s just a thin, white version of Donald Trump. (Nothing to do with race, just the facial foundation colour of choice).

Happy Sunday
