Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their truth-telling to sentimental platitude.

We didn't just find his videos - we also found Farage's outtakes, which show when his money-making sideline is interrupted by a text message or phone call, requiring him to re-record the video, he appears quick to anger.

I have asked the BBC to scrutinise + correct the factually inaccurate claims made by Mr Nigel Farage about why net migration fell in 'Political Thinking with Nick Robinson'

Here is the link if you want to do something like this.
www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...
Nigel Farage in answering Nick Robinson's question about why he believes Britain is broken gave an analysis of falling net migration that is demonstrably factually inaccurate. "It is so broken and its declining so quickly that anybody with a dispassionate view can see it. It is quite interesting. Just look at the net migration numbers. 'Oh isn't it good net migration is coming down?' But do you know why? It is because there is an exodus. There is now an exodus.Those who are of a situation and a financial position to have a choice are now fleeing the country in numbers". This is factually incorrect. Net migration fell year on year by 465,00 in the most recent Official of National Statisitcs figures: the year to June 2025. This was not because of an "exodus" (an increase in emigration). It is because immigration fell by 401,000 (to 898,000 from 1.299 million the previous year). That accounts for 90% of the big drop in net migration. The increase in emigration by 41,000 was a minor component. Most of the increase in emigration was of non-EU nationals. British citizens made up a third of emigrants, but there was no significant increasse in British emigration, which was at very similar levels in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025: it is not a significant cause of the drop in net migration. Nick Robinson did tell Mr Farage that he was exaggerating the number of people who don't speak English - and BBC Verify did produce an analysis showing that was a five-fold exaggeration. But this central incorrect claim about immigration and net migration was not caught in the programme, or before broadcast. It should at least be scrutinised and corrected afterwards - so that an accurate account of why net migration fell (primarily a reduction in immigration visas to the UK) can be communicated to the audience.

Or, is Farage just attempting some frantic arse-saving in light of this latest revelation…?

Please let Marks & Spencer know what you think of them advertising on racist GBNews.

Yesterday GB News aired this commentary belittling a black actress on the BBC as a "diversity hire".

This is what Marks & Spencer have been aligning with. Take action: www.facebook.com/MarksandSpen...

The phrase “Liz Truss crashed the economy” must really get on Liz Truss’ nerves.

Pretty sure Liz Truss did crash the economy though eh?

Can anyone confirm if Liz truss crashed the economy please?

How do I get a blue tick round here? Who is going to respect my opinions, if they’re not approved, and promoted by something I pay for? FFS
