LOL

A former British soldier and copper, and now leader of UKIP, is seen as left-wing these days. I must be a roaring fascist!

UKIP members too xenophobic to elect the foreigner who would have best represented their xenophobia.

She was just regarded as too vile, even for them. She makes Marine La Pen look like Nelson Mandela she's that batsh*t crazy.

The fact that they went with Farage's endorsement who wasn't even a front-runner just shows how much influence he has and could probably take the role at any moment's notice he fancied another crack at it.

He's Ex-Lib Dem with very close ties and previous roles within the EU. When you're the Brexit party, it's probably about as left wing as you probably get in a so called right wing party.

As you'd expect public support for him is abysmal as they all wanted the nutjob to win

Which is the point; there is no left-wing of the party! You have to give him credit though, to reinvent yourself as three different types of complete **** in your life has to be classed as an achievement.

Boris making the headlines again. Made a complete dope of himself in Myanmar earlier this year. Footage only after coming out now of him reciting the road to Mandalay by Kipling in a Buddhist temple. Had to be stopped by the ambassador. What a complete gobsh*te.

"He had taken part in a ritual involving pouring water over a golden statue of what he described as “a very big guinea pig”, when he approached a 42-tonne bell, rang it with a wooden stick and spontaneously started reciting Kipling’s poem.

A visibly tense ambassador stood by as Johnson continued: “The wind is in the palm trees and the temple bells they say ...” Then Patrick reminded him: “You’re on mic,” adding: “Probably not a good idea...”

“What?” Johnson replied. “The Road to Mandalay?”

“No,” said the ambassador sternly. “Not appropriate.”

“No?” replied Johnson looking down at his mobile phone. “Good stuff.”

It is unbelievable. Buffoon is a compliment to him.

I'm certainly looking forward to watching it, but I'm sure it will be more angering than funny.

Unbelievable the stuff he comes out with.He has an almost Trump like way of winging it .

I know they have the idea of May staying on for another 18 months to be the one who oversees BREXIT as others don't way to be tainted by that, but she's such a disaster, not sure she can last that long.

Looks like a Tory Civil war is about to break out

Ex Party Chairman Grant Shapps has just publicly told May to hold a leadership election and is prepared to name every single MP who agrees with him - Allegedly over 35 he has on the list, it takes 48 to trigger a vote of no confidence under party rules.

Grab the popcorn while this unfolds...

Charlottesville Victim of Neo-Nazi Beating
Charged With Assault – No Kidding!
By Greg Palast and Zach Roberts for Truthout

We can’t make this up:
African-American school teacher DeAndre Harris, victim of a beating by neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August, has been charged with assaulting the white supremacists who beat him with boards, iron rods, and brass knuckles.

That is correct. Harris, who was shown being beaten close to death in photos released by Truthout and carried worldwide, has now been charged with the same crime as his attackers: "unlawful wounding."

Several of Harris' attackers remain on the run -- and local and federal officials show little interest in going after them. Yet, the Charlottesville Magistrate issued a warrant to arrest Harris on October 9.

Harris is accused of taking a swing at a neo-Nazi who tried to stab a friend of Harris with the staff of a flag pole holding a Confederate flag. On the advice of his lawyer, Harris was unable to be reached for comment.

Zach Roberts, for Truthout, spoke with Lee Merritt, Harris's attorney and a legal specialist on police brutality and corruption. Merritt stated, "This is probably the most extreme case I've seen. Not only is [the victim] charged with a crime but he's charged at the same level as the men who broke his bones, who caused serious bodily injuries, caused him to get 18 staples in his head … the men who beat him within an inch of his life. [Harris] is getting the same charge as [those] involved in a violent supremacist group who were involved in attacks, not only of DeAndre, but attacks of other people all weekend."

It should be noted that our photographer Roberts was also attacked with what appears to be a wooden flagstaff by a man identified as Dan Borden of Cincinnati, one of those charged in the attack on Harris.

White supremacist Borden, hours before attacking Harris, threw the metal-tipped wood at photographer Roberts' head. Roberts photographed the weapon as it whizzed by his head.

A magistrate judge, without talking to witness Roberts, issued a warrant, apparently on the complaint of lawyers for the white nationalists.

Charlottesville police have charged two of Harris's attackers, but only after a national campaign demanded they do so. One charged, Dan Borden, is shown beating Harris with a four-foot piece of lumber.

The other, Michael Ramos, who claims he acted in self-defense, is shown striking Harris with brass knuckles while Harris is crawling helpless on the ground.

On August 14, US Attorney General Sessions said that neo-Nazi brutality in Charlottesville was the Justice Department's top priority. "There's no bigger case right now we're working on."

So far, federal authorities have taken no action to identify the man holding what appears to be a 9mm Glock semi-automatic handgun threatening Harris, despite high-resolution photos supplied by Roberts to the FBI.

Crossing state lines with intent to cause harm is a federal offense. Nevertheless, direct pleas to FBI agents by this reporter have failed to get Justice Department action to charge Harris attackers and Roberts' assailant with these crimes.

Days after the attack, one FBI agent assigned to the investigation told Truthout he was "appalled" by the lack of immediate response to Roberts' offer of photos to identify Harris' attackers, but insisted the Department would act. As of today, two months on, there is no sign Sessions' Department has moved to identify nor apprehend Harris's attackers.
