UK getting wise?

[Insidious Von]

Nigel Farage resigned from Westminster calling a bi-election. All the major parties backed out leaving Farage to face The MIghty Count Binface in the election for Clacton.

Farage has made himself exceptionally wealthy from Brexit, as befits a former hedge fund manager. Like Trump he doesn't enjoy taking tough questions from women. He portrays himself as a man of the people yet lives in a gated community with his good buddy David Cameron. Has his bluff finally been called?

Whatever happened to The Silly Party?

It is time for the rule of Binface.

As I understand it, Farage resigned to avoid a parliamentary inquiry into his 5 million GBP bribe from a sketchy billionaire tax exile. No other party will field candidates in Clacton, guaranteeing that Farage will re elect himself and face the exact same parliamentary inquiry again in a few weeks' time.

I am not sure if Farage will then re resign to avoid the inquiry and then be re re re elected and then re re re resign and how many times this is going to keep happening.

Which leaves aside that Farage has his own army of British MAGA-like idiot supporters and is an odds-on favourite to win the next general election, wiping out both the Tories and Labour in the process.

Breaking News: Mitch McConnell has tossed his hat in the political ring for Clacton. Now it's a heated three way race.

President Trump gave his blessing.

Bummer that Starmer pulled a Harris and destroyed labour through support of neoliberalism and zionism.

Nigel Farage is most responsible for Brexit. He promised Camelot, the reality is far harsher.

If he does become PM, I hope he does the right thing and align with Russia.

The cost of Brexit gets steeper every month.

The UK will play no part in European transport integration, Farage will have a hissy fit over this. He'll claim that the EU is holding the UK down. The Brenner Tunnel is nearing completion, it will stretch 64 Km from Innsbruck to Fortezza, changing the economic landscape of the EU.

Of course there are other obstacles, building a bridge to Sicily goes across some of the most treacherous waters in the Mediterranean. The Strait of Messina is so dangerous, it got a full chapter in Homer's Odyssey.

The construction of the bridge to Messina from Villa san giovanni has been blocked by mafia for so many years. Ferry boat revenue would be too precious to lose. I travelled across that strait many times when I would visit from the mainland.

Here's how The Strait of Messina was shown in Ray Harryhousen's Jason and the Argonauts. Did the old man drop a loogie in his gatchies? Featuring Pussy Galore.

A seismic fault line runs through the strait.

The Cosa Nostrra and the Ndrangheta don't agree on much, yet they do split the ferry proceeds 50/50. I've never been south of Napoli which is my fault. If I'm healthy enough I'll take a ferry from Napoli to Palermo, hopefully Stromboli is active. I'm taking a risk going to the Rush concert but it's a must.

When he becomes Prime Minister, Nigel Farage should do the right thing and negotiate a free trade deal with Russia.

 

[Insidious Von]

This is why building a bridge across the Strait of Messina is almost impossible. Mafia aside.

There is a significant change in UK polling. Finally, the Brits are starting to see past the anti immigrant, far right rhetoric of Farage and realize that the guy is essentially a fraudster who has entered politics to collect bribes and payoffs. Reform are dwindling in the polls. Part of this as well is the party's dismal showing in municipal politics where many elected Reform councillors have simply quit in boredom and disappointment at the lack of pussy and bribes at that level.

Labour is cresting on the new PM's honeymoon and are back in top spot. And there is a new Farage scandal every few weeks.
