Trumps sticking up for Muslims. Trumps sending dodgy emails. Hillary telling Europe to stop the immigrants.  It's back-to-front week!

What next? Farage accepting money from the EU after Brexit? Lord Mogg moving his businesses out of Britain and into Ireland? Wait, hang on a minute...

Farage accepting money from the EU after Brexit?

He's suddenly concerned about racists joining ukip.  Never happened when he was in charge. They were just bad apples.

Was that word something that rhymes with my forum name and can be formed by carefully rearranging the letters CNUT? I remember an old forum auto-kicker that would kick you out if you typed cockatoo, wristwatch or Scunthorpe.  Not exactly a sophisticated AI.

Nigel Farage, though: what a complete Scunthorpe.

[Dandontdare]

I get it - he's a polibellendtician. Have I got the hang of this?

This made me think of The Legendary Shark:

"It is possible to live in complete equality - and it can make for a peaceful community.

There's one catch: it involves becoming an anarchist. No government, no state, only the individual and their will to do as they please."
