The most frustrating thing about continuing failure to skewer Farage is that his grasp of detail is non-existent. It’s why he gets petulant when exposed to even mildly decent questions. Interviewers just need to zone in on one element of the bullshit & interrogate it until his ignorance is exposed.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

For someone who had to be virtually dragged kicking & screaming into his own trials should he be so quick to blame & play Judge & Jury? Let families & friends grieve & investigators into the crash do their jobs.

The Loup of Fintry. It's my local waterfall, it's actually a series of 5 steps, all about 5 metres in height but only the top step, shown in this image, is accessible. Those lower steps are dangerous to access because of hidden fall offs beneath vegetation. You'll see regular images of it in my feed
