A majority of voters, and a plurality of white voters, think that Reform is a racist party with racist policies.

Nigel Farage "Why do I never get called for questions?" "Have you tried submitting them?"

All very amusing, but especially this: "The most popular was an “Australian-style points-based immigration system,” with a net 46 percent support. The least popular was “Britain’s current immigration policy,” with -39 percent support." www.politico.eu/article/labo...

Yes let’s trust idiots instead. That should work.

He is far from alone. Do you know how many people I know, journalists, thinktankers, civil servants, politicians, who always excel at explaining to you why what is currently happening was always bound to happen, from which they conclude that it should happen?

My new tour starts in ONE WEEK! Very excited to get back out on the road with this show. To be brutally honest, sales have been lower than I would have hoped after last year's tour, but I know times are tough and there are a lot of people on tour at the moment! 1/2

Am I alone in thinking that prophesying a WhingeUK victory in a General Election around 3 years away is actually not very interesting?
