“Back to the good old days.” Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? I’m misty-eyes at the thought: No NHS, discrimination, less rights for everyone (except the super wealthy), more for them/less for us…
Just don’t read the comment section: “The streets will need to fill with blood first!” - “I’m afraid you’re right…”
This is a great post, I’m no Farage lover but he might have a point about there is a feeling of falling out of love with our country though Tom! Can you help him/us/Labour/politics to change that please
Absolutely devastating dissection of political aesthetics at work. The bit about declaring an interest as a "broken husk" cuts both ways- it frames the critique as someone whos lived inside that machinery, not just observed it. I've noticed how populist filmmaking keeps recycling these same tropes (golden hour, loyal animals, solitary leader) because they shortcircuit rational analysis. The observation about invisible hands and borrowed solitude is spot on, btw
I can't help but see this guy as the dark side of the late Frankie Howard's humour. This production is full of suggestion and innuendo that Farage would, no doubt, publicly deny. In one of Frankie's typical live performance routines he would manage the audience's reaction to his heavy double entendres. "Ooh missus, no. Filthy minds the lot of you!"
Of course, this particular 'Reform' production lacks any humour, which I understand that Farage doesn't get anyway. Apparently, he once said to Sarah Pascoe (comedian) that he didn't find comedy funny! Sinister in itself.
He’s out-Partridged Alan, hasn’t he?

Very much enjoy your posts - and this one particularly
He lied to his dogs about running out of treats. That is the definition of untrustworthy.
"Nigel F" - the 'F' is for Frankie (Howard)
