Farage's move today seems precisely calculated to try and ensure a hung parliament next time. Not standing against incumbent Tories, so they're more likely to hold on, whilst standing against incumbent Labour, so they're more likely to hold on.

I admire your optimism but I'm certain the game is going to be to encourage traditional Tories floating towards BXP to the Tories and Labour floaters towards BXP.

They need to prove it first and that’s the exact reason they knock to get in then entrap you by scouting your home for connections and any TVs in the property, it’s why they go window peering as well, it’s a hideous practice and if you deny them entry they can’t prove a loving thing. These magical devices that detect signals don’t exist on this scale, trust me, it’s a massive scare tactic. People get caught because they willingly let them in to try and be good citizens and it’s an absolute farce. Given the money they rake in the programming is loving shocking as well and should be abolished entirely.

Don’t do it yourself, I at least have 6 years of electronics engineering under my belt so I know the nuances of it all and wouldn’t recommend joe average trying this sort of thing or you’ll probably get trapped.

Also, broadcast airwaves were a limited resource in the analogue days (maybe still are? I don't know how they work), whereas any old idiot can get some paper and print a magazine to hand out on the street.

Spectrum is still a limited resource, we can just use it far more efficiently. Even if that weren't the case it would still require some form of regulation because there's no way that one newspaper can just print their paper loud enough that the others can't print (although gently caress knows the Mail and Express have tried).

I was thinking myself it's probably designed to keep his grift going. As soon as Brexit is done, one way or another, Farage's reason for appearing all over the loving place is done as well, until the next grift comes up.

Also to the surprise of loving no-one:

Well yes, but if they float towards BXP rather than the Tories that still ultimately dilutes the right-wing vote over where it could have been, and with FPTP that could make a huge difference.

Definitely. If Brexit happens he's done, if it gets cancelled he can shout for a bit but chances are most non-fanatics are going to be so tired they just shrug and move on. The grift goes on as long as Brexit doesn't actually happen.

20 or 30 years, max, one way or another; either they all die or the climate wars render current political norms irrelevant anyway.

Concur; Farage would be ruined if Brexit actually happened; he'd lose his cushy MEP position, he'd lose his major soapbox, and he'd actualy have to follow through on making things better or be torn apart by his fans.

Also, this video was apparently shadowbanned from reddit's frontpage, but is a very intetesting so far (if long) piece about the history of the internet (SA gets a brief mention!). Very interesting from the perspective of a veteran of the internet that was, particularly how profoundly weird it is that everyone just gives out their real names now.
