The Brexit Party

[killer b]

Lactose the Intolerant! is one of the better milkshake related slogans I've seen the last few days.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Beautiful- right next to greys monument- where the patriots gather at weekends to hawk their belligerence.

The Biotic Baking Brigade used to pie the powerful, particularly in the States, but here as well. From what I remember they were usually vegan pies - McDonalds milkshakes are a more democratic alternative. Same time I'm not going to waste a Greggs vegan sausage roll on the fash.

The Electoral Commission has said it will attend the offices of Nigel Farage’s Brexit party to “review its systems” after Gordon Brown urged them to investigate concerns over the legality of the party’s funding.

The former prime minister told a Labour rally in Glasgow the commission had the powers to carry out live investigations during elections, and issue interim statements on whether it believes there are unanswered legal questions about party funding.

Brown said there were clear risks democracy was being damaged if the Brexit party was allowed to accept foreign and untraceable donations via the online payments service PayPal. Political gifts of under £500, whether made via PayPal or another route, do not have to be declared.

The loony also wants us to adopt the USA's lax gun laws - presumably so we can import American-made guns ...

I hear that recent events have made him rethink the idea of legalizing assault trifles.

 

[brogdale]

Any dignity that he had, all but evaporated.

 

[treelover]

Don't you think there may be counter reactions from his more aggressive supporters?

 

[D'wards]

Well, that's won him a shitload more votes...

Ambivalent people don't like to see people humiliated, he'll get a load of sympathy for that.

Yes

No

Maybe

What, you mean other venal psychopaths might be milkshaked?

I've seen and heard nothing but good cheer about it from everyone but liberal journalists and ageing racists tbf

I don't recall Kilroy Silk getting a bump in the polls that time someone threw some slurry over him. Quite the opposite.

Not at the moment. Maybe soon.

 

[TopCat]

Put a bit of brick in every shake please.

Blair’s furious about it, so it’s A Good Thing.

It was a £5.25 milkshake so it was proper quality, none of that mcd's muck

someone found a passage in his autobiography where he talks about how funny Prescott's egging was.

Yeah, Blair was always happy for the working classes to suffer.

People don't generally seem to be overflowing with sympathy for Farage - in 2010 he was in a plane crash and still finished behind Flipper the dolphin.

Darren Loucaides’ ‘long read’ piece on the BP’s conscious aping of Five Star is worth a look:

Building the Brexit party: how Nigel Farage copied Italy's digital populists

 

[felixthecat]

I heard someone talking about the Brexit Party and I thought they said the Breakfast Party. I was imagining pile of bacon and sausages and early morning dancing when I realised they meant something to do Nigel Farage.

I was disappointed. I'd vote for the Breakfast Party

As you were...

It's much as you imagine only with early morning morris dancing and hash browns

I'm looking forward to the last panel in the triptych.

No he won’t. People understand the difference between a milkshaking and real political violence. The people we may want to dissuade from following Farage are not people who have gained anything from genteel politics.

The guy that throw the milkshake over Farage has been charged with common assault and criminal damage.
