He said he registered to vote for the first time because Trump repulses him and he wants to help beat him :unsmith:

If it's been posted I'll come back and delete this duplicate post but Nigel Farage, after championing the Brexit vote, is stepping down.

Burn the house down? Hell yeah! Stay around to clean up? Hell no!

I'm not terribly familiar with UK politics, but does Tory's motto have the word "responsibility" in it anywhere?


Nigel Farage is in UKIP, not the Conservative Party.

Boris Johnson was the main pro-Leave Tory, while David Cameron was the pro-Remain Tory.

Why do people keep saying Farage is a tory? He appeals to old, working-class, racist, former Labour voters. His public image is a million miles away from Eton.

The referendum was called precisely because UKIP put an immense amount of pressure on the Tories from the right. UKIP never pulled anything close to as many Labour voters into the tent as they did Conservatives.

Here's a decent rundown of where their support comes from.

Rural England was never a Labour heartland.

One of the biggest things we can do to improve policing is shift towards community-oriented policing. It's something I actually know a little about, having helped draft the manuscript for DoJ on the issue.

Can you link to a copy of that manuscript or a relevant research document? It's unclear to me exactly what community policing describes but would be interested to read something on the subject.

Every liberal is such a pushover. No wonder people love Trump.

Also maybe uncritically worshipping a geriatric unelected barrister is not the best route forward for progressive politics, just a thought here.
