Peter Osborne, Reform UK local election candidate for Hythe West. We’ve got a mixture of racism and misogyny from this one. Seriously, where is your vetting Reform Uk?

I had my voice coach Trixie over yesterday. She used her tongue in different ways to extend my diction. She told me her tonsils had to be moisturised to achieve a climactic timbre. Her oral techniques have certainly educated me! Needless to say my wife Bunty was not impressed.😔

This is tediously stupid now… Really. Just stop with the idiotic headlines and the swagger and the EUphobic chest-thumping. Brexit is a shitshow. You know it. We know it. Even Trump might know it. Pipe down. Accept that you ballsed it. And leave us to deal with the embarrassing mess you all made.

Boris Johnson does not care about “freedoms” nor the economy. If he did, he’d want us to rejoin the EU. What he does care about, ladies & gents, is you fighting to save his legacy for his own ego’s sake. I say let’s nuke it.

So if you haven’t realised it by now, there’s a coordinated 5 year plan to get Reform/Farage in power. The media/press are fully on board. You see/hear about Farage everywhere. He’s on social media, the BBC, the papers. He’s constantly platformed in a disproportionate way.

This needs to be taken very seriously. All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations

Stodgy dullwit, David Frost, tells business owners that their struggles with the latest Brexit-red-tape-shitshow are the EU’s fault (rather than the woeful mess he cooked up with Johnson to get him into power). He just lies to their faces, saying this is why we left. New level of loathing unlocked.

“How will an ambulance get through?” A question only asked of those trying to save our planet, not millionaire landowners trying to hoard wealth. Farmers received record support in the budget. Pay what is still less than your fair share, take your tractors and piss off.
