Slimeball Ukip leader Gerard Batten defends party candidate Carl Benjamin's rape tweet as 'satire'

Here's a test : can anyone without googling name their MEP?

IIRC we have 7, I could name 2 - Farage & Caroline Lucas, but she resigned as an MEP when she got elected as a MP.

I think I knew about Molly Scott Cato, because she was up against Thangam Debbonaire in the local parliamentaries and I had cause to check out her anti-science utterances ...

or local councillors....

I can name 1 out of 3 for my ward, but that's only because his garden backs onto my next door neighbour's, who is not a fan, and has erected a 8 foot fence between them, to avoid him.

I did when one of them was Nick Griffin. Less so now. It does make you wonder, other than the salary, if getting MEPs elected actually does serve much of a purpose for the likes of Benjamin - I suppose they want to use it as a platform: doesn't look like much of a platform to me.

He's an edgelord in competition with that Nazi dog idiot.

I know who he is.

 

[gentlegreen]

I know who he is.

I think he's even been embarrassing his "community," recently - he was even trying to ingratiate himself with kevin Logan - trying everything to remain meaningful.

 

[killer b]

he isn't an 'edgelord' btw though, he's a neo-nazi. I think we can assume he's not just saying this stuff to be shocking and hilarious anymore.

 

[gentlegreen]

He's so dunning Kruger it's difficult to tell

 

[killer b]

I don't know what that means.

 

[gentlegreen]

I don't know what that means.

I don't think he ever fully engages with anything he does just reads the headline and goes off on one...
Maybe he IS starting to feel his age.

 

[killer b]

maybe he's just a nazi. no need to overthink it.

 

[butchersapron]

Nope, not for here .

a tory MeP once presented me with a Thesaurus as a school prize and didn't know what a thesaurus was

At this rate they are going to have to invent a new word for actual satire, it being in short supply atm. Fuck sake.

Reality is sort of making it obsolete
