In 2018, #Farage was apoplectic with rage at the thought of Billionaire George Soros interfering in #British politics using political donations.
Fast forward 6 years, & Nazi Nige the grifter is in the #US negotiating with Billionaire Elon #Musk to interfere in British politics with a £100m donation to #ReformUK.
The two faced stench of tobacco, sleaze & beer are never far away with this steaming lump of dog shit...
@AnthonyFStevens Those may look like very similar situations on the surface, but they're really not. As loathsome as he is, Musk is just a person whereas Soros is an alt-right dogwhistle for The Jews.
Very true, & well pointed out...
@AnthonyFStevens I'm not sure who said it first, and English not being my native tongue, I'll probably butcher it by paraphrasing but here goes anyway:
"If you see the right-wing-facists complaining about something, you know what their next move will be."
I think the quote is
"If you see right-wing fascists complaining about something, you can expect them to oppose it."
But what you say is absolutely spot on. They always build a narrative of hate, before their political onslaught to oppose the object of their ire.
Live picture of human feces with necktie.
@AnthonyFStevens For once, we may have a party in power that is less able to raise money than their rivals. I wonder if that's the route to getting good campaign finance regulations (with teeth: automatic bi-election for any candidate who is found to have violated them and a requirement to pay 150% of the illegally raised money as tax).
As we saw with #Brexit, there are ways to circumnavigate campaign finance laws, especially if the government in power is the beneficiary & crooked. I say this with Doris Johnson refusing to release the full #Russia interference report.
IIRC, #Xitter has an #Irish registered subsidiary, through which #Musk could channel funds into #UK politics quite easily. Tightening up the laws won't be easy, but looking at what's just happened in #America, can you imagine a Nigel #Farage PM?
