Agree, and the format of every debate so far has been terrible or poorly moderated.

I felt mixed about his opinions in that video.

I do feel like the "he doesn't understand our culture" statement was referring to Rishi's Indian heritage, that's definitely my perception anyway.

But I do agree with him that Rishi should've been at the D-Day Memorial.

And what are the stats on young Muslims getting radicalized? Because I do feel like Religious extremism is on the rise, but I don't know if that's just the Internet feeding into my anti-organized Religion sentiment.

Ostensibly he was referring to the fact that Sunak is a city-of-London neoliberal globalist. But yes I imagine it was also a dogwhistle reference to his skin colour for that "certain" flavour of Farage fan.

You probably have a point about the Neoliberal Globalist stuff tbf.

I think one thing is for sure, is that he said it in a way where it can be interpreted to make people think about Sunak in that kind of way, which imo is a below the belt thing to do.

I’d like to think that Britain is a little smarter than America and this pound shop Trump routine won’t work, but unfortunately, I think there’s just enough easily manipulated, genuinely worried people who’ll buy into his complete and utter nonsense

Of course he won.

Mordaunt is too scared to say anything due to the pending Tory leadership fight that she will inevitably enter.

Rayner canty say anything to embarrass Sir Keir Starmer and her labour colleague.

The Green and SNP leaders.....

It was the perfect stage for Mr Britain to shine

Sorry if I upset anyone but I really do think Farage and Tice are dreamers.

It's only a gut feeling but I don't think either one will win seats. I often think Farage thinks he's the second coming and the bizarre way the media talk about him, they think that too.

But I hear a new poll is saying Reform have lost a few percentage points.

They're such a joke that candidates are still being prevented from running due to accusation of racism and religious bogitry.

I dont think Brits are smarter, I think our system is better in that its more difficult for a Trump like figure to gain power and then hold onto it.

I have to laugh at the people who think he's gonna become PM. If all the Reform candidates win then they're still short of getting over the line to form a government. It makes you wonder why are they all running? Is it to destroy the Tories. I'm all for that but what do they do after the Tories are defeated.

Nigel Farage on Rishi Sunak: "He didn't even understand what leaving D-Day means to
people. It is your classic Winchester, Oxbridge, Goldman Sachs view of the world. He just
does not have a connection with ordinary people"
