Thing I like best about mastodon is reading what real folks think in the UK.
Today I learned bout throwing milkshakes at fascists and a new word gobshite 🤣🤣
I love the UK 🇬🇧 ❤️❤️
We need sum shakes for trump 🤣 #milkshake#nigelfarage
Keep seeing Nigel Farage and milkshake on my TL from folks I follow in UK.
I'm from the US . Who is Nigel Farage? Why did he get milkshake thrown at him?
Daily Mail wailing that Victoria the Milkshake Queen is a "Jeremy Corbyn loving Only Fans model" this giving their readership something to be angry and horny about #Ukpol#Ge2024#Ukpolitics#Clacton#Farage#NigelFarage
The classy thing to do as Brit politician getting a milkshake is to laugh it off and not press charges, but of course Nigel won't be letting the lady off for making him look foolish now, that's not how populists work.....
British Media will be painting Victoria as some faceless terrorist for attacking their boy Nigel, so we need to look further afield for Victoria's side of events
How come #NigelFarage gets to turn up out of nowhere and decree that this is now “the immigration election”‽
Ordinary voter here, and I don’t give a tinker’s toss about #immigration. I’d much prefer this to be “the climate change election”, please. If you agree, give this a RT. ♻️
"...#NigelFarage has announced he will run as Reform UK's candidate in Clacton, after previously saying he would not stand in July’s #GeneralElection...
"...Mr Farage also revealed he was taking over from #RichardTice as Reform's leader for the next five years..."
"We have a growing number of young people in this country who do not subscribe to British values, in fact, loath much of what we stand for." #NigelFarage
Last year the Financial Ombudsman received around 3,900 complaints about debanking... up from 2,700 the year before.
Around a third of cases were upheld (in favour if customers) up a little from 2022.
The proportion of complaints from small businesses has also risen.
You'd perhaps have expected (after his promises) that Nigel Farage would be campaigning loudly on behalf of these customers... but actually once his case was resolved, of course, he moved on.
