In case you’re wondering why I haven’t said anything on here about the current controversy over Nigel Farage’s apparent schoolboy racism, I think the best thing I can do is direct everyone here. Owen Jones summarises the situation really well. As much as Farage might try to deny it in that snivelling, dissembling, Trump-esque way of his, it is blatantly obvious that, as a young man he was nothing but an arrogant racist bully. The more he tries to distance himself from such behaviour the more sickening it becomes, frankly. The evidence is now overwhelming, and it’s clear he hasn’t changed much. What I find absolutely chilling, however, is that this disgrace to human civilisation now has a realistic chance of becoming prime minister. I mean the following with utmost seriousness: we, as liberal, educated, open-minded people must do everything in our power to ensure that does not happen.
