    I wonder if there will be a bus promising an extra £350 million a year for the NHS if Trump colonised Greenland?

    Scary thought, given how badly Starmer is doing, Farage might gain an even louder voice…

    Having been born in Scotland, I would kick this sassenach English bastard in the balls but I doubt I’d find any on his person.

      So which one of those guys is going “(omg) I’m voting I’m voting I’m voting” and which one is going “puki puki puki puki puki”? I can’t tell just by looks, could go either way

    Why was Farage at a World Leader conference? He doesn’t run any countries? Just another excuse to not be in his constituency I guess.

      It’s not a world leader conference, it’s a meeting of assholes, grifters and criminals, and some of them are also world leaders

          I wasn’t trying to rank them

          There must be 1000s of people that lead a state that aren’t there (given ~200 countries). What makes this guy’s presence so special? Or, perhaps, his presence is also out of place

            California is 2/3 the size of the UK.

            Farage is an MP of a constituency of 75 thousand, and won the election for that position with 21225 votes. He’s not a minister, he’s not an appointed leader of anything, he’s not even the leader (or any official part) of the official opposition in the UK parliament. Hell he’s not even doing a passable job at being an MP given he’s missed like, 70+% of parliamentary meetings, and hasn’t held any significant surgeries in his constituency either. He’s the literal definition of paid for doing nothing politician, shuffling around Fasc-a-Lago hoping to earn some favours by having his nose so far up Trump’s ass he could diagnose the tangerine tyrant’s appendix…

                Drop in session/office hours type deal for constituents. Our mps can help citizens (usually by writing strongly worded letters) with small civil matters like planning/building regulations, issues with county council (local government) and so on

                As a Californian, I really wanted to jump in with the “Fuck Newsom” crowd.

                But California’s economy rivals most countries. Last time I checked there were only five countries with larger economies.

              My grammar is admittedly pretty farm boy, so I thought I’d check. You seem like a bit off an ass but someone else reading this might take it as legitimate:

              Some authorities prescribe that restrictive relative clauses (where the relative clause is part of the identification of the noun phrase) should only use that as the introductory pronoun, and non-restrictive relative clauses should only use which or who/whom as the introductory pronoun. In practice, either pronoun is commonly used to introduce a restrictive relative clause, including in edited prose. In contrast, it is not usual in edited written English to use that to introduce a non-restrictive relative clause, though there are occasional rare attestations.

              https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/that

              I saw at least one typo there and figured I’d leave it for you

    The world would be a better place if Trump and Nigel Farage were fired off into the sun.

        For a moment I thought you meant Captain Kirk, and wondered when in Generations did he say that.
