You're a braver person than me and I applaud you for your bravery. I personally can't stand the sight or sound of the wankstain but I can see the logic in following him if only to show how ignorant, wrong and dishonest he is.

And that's why I'm hanging on in Twitter as well for the moment. One has to know what the baskets are up to. I will and do block the total idiot trolls but people like Farage are dangerous. He's far from an ignorant ranter. It's no good ignoring them or hearing what they say second hand. Bluesky is clean and airy but sadly the real world isn't.

You've done me a massive favour Mr 🐻

By following you I can still keep abreast of Monsieur (MonSewer) Farage and his rantings without actually following him myself.

Thank you kind Sir 👍✊

I've said for a while... Well, since before the GE - having won, Labour should have done a real job on Farage & Co. straight away - not what it feels as though they've done (to me) and just say 'Well, job done - he's no threat'.

They should have laid out, clearly and with supporting evidence, exactly what he is, what he's done (and not done), what he's said, who he's been paid by, etc. etc. He and Reform should have been treated as a threat, and discredited.

Everyone in the country should be fully aware of who they are and what they stand for. Then, when things like this come up, it's obvious why.

You are a brave bear, Bear - and 100% right. Ignoring the disingenuous windbag won't do, but I am happy to keep tabs through you because I cannot stand the sight of him.

I'm not sure I have the energy to follow that windbag

Good mov Bear if I may say so + agree with Diane Lindsay above. The FR will build and fester, plot, scheme, be their nasty little selves but better to know their mischief. As for the proposed private prosecution- well, he may get it into court but may never get it thru the courts. The law provides ways thru and ways in which it may be stopped and not just because the public service which is HMCS has suffered 14yrs of austerity and is also on its knees.

I blocked him because I choose to. Once again I’m awed by your willingness to take one for the team. Your comments will dampen the flames of rage he ignites. Thank you 💜

I know it’s a cop out on my part, but I would so prefer to only hear what divisive idiotic bile Farage and his ilk spout when it is cushioned by your articulate, thoughtful and measured words (sweary where required!). Thank you.

I understand your keep your friends close & your enemies closer thinking. It's just a shame you have to.

I don't follow him but curiousity gets the better of me at times so folks don't judge me - I look at his posts. You have to know what you're dealing with after all.

Well done. That’s my main concern about leaving Twitter - letting all that bilge and hate swill around unchallenged 😢
