The Nigel Farage appreciation and news thread
So it is now abundantly clear that not only is Trump going to win but it is looking like one of the biggest landslides in US election history.
The fate this country most likely faces is a vasal slave state to Russia. Most of us who are still fit will be turned into cannon fodder in Russias army used to conquor and enslave other lands. Others will either be put to death or worked to death in forced labour camps. Of course that is the males. The females if they are of breeding age will be turned into sex slaves and breeding slaves to breed more children for Putins cannon fodder. It wont be healthy either, I have heard that people who breed dogs for a business stop after so many iterations because its not healthy for the women, I dont know a lot of biology but I am pretty sure that if a female is forced to have children then as soon as they give birth starting the process of trying to conceive again over and over that it wont be good for their health.
older women who are no longer able to give birth will be used to rear the children or put to death.
Of course Nigel Farage a friend of Trump will be the most powerful person in this country and our main point of contact for Putin and Trump he will likely be appointed Prime Minister or King. any negative statements about Farage in the future will likely involve a lengthy forced labour prison sentence.
So lets honour the great dear leader Farage and this will be the Farage appreciation thread news on everything Farage.

Nigel Farage has insisted he cannot hold in-person meetings with people in Clacton, calling it "too risky". The MP for Clacton has come under fire for not meeting voters in the same way other MPs do.
The Reform UK leader has returned to Britain after celebrating Donald Trump's election win in the US. Mr Farage, 60, vowed to live in the constituency shortly after being elected in July.
The Clacton MP, who has been a friend of President-elect Trump for many years, admitted he is still in the process of moving to the area. He said: "I’m moving there, what more do you want?”
He insisted he could not hold in-person surgeries in Clacton, calling it “too risky”. He said: "Other MPs aren’t Nigel Farage, other MPs don’t have constant death threats – it’s a different kettle of fish – and David Amess in Essex, just down the road, was murdered just a few short years ago."
In an exclusive interview with EssexLive in August, Nigel Farage hit back at criticisms by asking "what more can I do?". The Essex MP admitted he saw himself as a "workaholic" who took on long hours to balance private work and his role as a representative in the House of Commons.
Whilst attending the Clacton Airshow in his constituency, he exclusively told EssexLive that the criticism of his earnings and work is "ridiculous". He said: "I’ve been here at Clacton Airshow [on Thursday] and I’ve been at the Beer Festival on Wednesday too.
"I’ve been down at the constituency office trying to get that sorted so that we can meet members of the public, we need security in place too. What more can I do? I was at Jaywick last week due to the fire. I’m here every week for a few days.
"The criticisms are ridiculous. I wasn’t elected as a local councillor but a representative of a local constituency. I accept I’ve got to do both now."
Mr Farage added: “Most people work 40 hours a week and I work 100. I start at 5am and end at 11pm seven days a week. It’s been like that for years. I’ve not taken a holiday this year or anything like that. I admit it, I'm a bit of a workaholic.”
It's a nice pub. I know it is. Not least because it is my local pub.
Little Oakley (and the pub) is within the Harwich constituency. MP is Bernard Jenkin, Conservative.
He doesn't even know where his own constituency is.
What a prize winker that man is.
Russia really could attack us and without US support we are sitting ducks, Trump is serious about pulling the USA out of NATO and has the power to do it. Farage is a friend of Trump and can potentially talk Trump into still protecting us.
Now I understand the issues if Farage wants to use this as leverage to dictate government domestic policy, Reform were not elected Labour were.
I just think there is a serious case for making Farage either our foriegn minister or minister to America right now. It may well be what we need to do to save the very existence of our nation.
1. This Country has voted massively to have the Country run by Labour for the next 4-5 years. By an even bigger margin than the US has voted to be run by Trump, which is of itself quite a big margin. None of the big offices of state are going to be run by anyone other than Labour, or the Republicans, respectively. That's the way politics works
2. Farage would be an absolutely terrible Minister. For a whole host of reasons, including
(A) He is bone idle. When an MEP he turned up 2nd least of all MEPs across Europe. And the 1 he beat had been in a coma for years
(B) He is not a Team Player. If people like him, they see him as a leader, or the leader. But he is never ever going to be anything other than the head of something, or nothing
(C) Farage does what is best for Farage. Always has. Always will. Much like Trump-there is a reason why Trump has never held any other political office than President. Because (like Farage) he would be terrible at anything other than President
(C) You totally fail to understand how someone like Trump works-see 3
3. Trump treats what he perceives as his enemies terribly. But, let's be fair-most politicians do. Where Trump is different is just how badly he treats his friends, his supporters, if they are of no use to him.
4. Trump cares about what people can do for him. Not whether or not they like him. The Press make a lot of fuss about some things that our current Foreign Minister, David Lammy has said in the past. And conveniently forget that identical things were said by David Cameron, the last Foreign Minister and former PM. Or indeed Trump's choice as Vice President elect and heir apparent, JD Vance
5. A 2nd Trump Presidency will not be like the 1st. Simply because there cannot be a 3rd. It will be all about cementing his legacy. So-for example-persuading the UK Govt to be his Cheerleader in getting Europe to pay more and the US less of the massive costs of NATO, cements his legacy. Whereas being the man who pulled the US out of NATO would not
6. Trump is many different things to different people. But what he is not is an idiot.
"Existence of our nation"? Really? You live in a different World to me.
Sorry about the divert and (drunken) rambling of my post.
I think the UK does need to pay more in funding for our military, we are grossly unprepared, its already clear that Trump will put pressure on Ukraine to Cede to Russian demands, So Ukraine will have little to no choice. Once Russia takes Ukrainian territory where do they go next? With trumps business man mentality of negotiation the next place will also be a negotiation. Say Russia invades the United Kingdom then the negotiation would be something like well Russia can have Bristol Exeter and Manchester.
(not saying this would be exact territory we would be expected to give up just ceding certain parts etc) if Russia only gains and does not lose every time they invade a country and they can keep doing this without consequence or positive gains then It will just go on repeat until they take huge parts of the world.
I think your right that Trump is not an idiot the question then becomes does he have the American interest first or his own? this is worth considering because If Trump has American interest first he wont let Russia take any land from Canada, The UK though may be a different story. its simple geography.
How does Trump put pressure on Zelensky to do something that will never happen. It'd simply create a never ending series of resistance style action against Russia and US interests. The Ukranian people will not stand for it.
In what world does Trump allow any country to take land from another. That's just a moronic assumption that the President of the US can say to another country Ill give you parts of the UK.
How does russia invade the U.K. To get to us means over running most of Europe and even if that were possible to supply an occupying force would be impossible. IT'S SIMPLE GEOGRAPHY
Your scenario of only occupying certain cities is just fkn absurd. So Russia controls 3 cities in the UK, yeah for all of about 5 minutes. Politically, economically, governmentally, militarily none of that is doable.
Congratulations though, of all the crazy, halfbaked posts you've done, this has to be in the top 3. Thats quite some achievement.

As opposed to the DUP. Who won 5 out of 18. And are there representing a nation.
He fell foul of democracy.
Remembrance is about remembering the fallen. Not a narcissist who has never fought in his life. Unless we count his heroic battle with a milkshake
