Praise to him (though praise on a site like this is probably the equivalent of a dose of strychnine as far as the Beeb Folk are concerned). <br /><br />There's been more sneering at Farage in the Sunday Times. Apparently he's at fault for surrounding himself with bodyguards - this after the assassination attempt on Trump (largely ignored by the BBC - imagine if it had been a crazy Right Wing American gunman attacking Hillary rather than a Lefto Brit having a go at Trump!).

Nick Robinson kicked it off, then every other Beeboid at a polling station in a Leave constituency summarily dismissed 17 million people as being "the Left Behind", angry at the moon, wanting to kick someone, anyone. Not a single legitimate reason to vote Leave offered by any of them. The only one who wasn't sneering when he said it was Clive Myrie.<br /><br />At last year's general election, I'm pretty sure I remember Dimbleby opening the broadcast just after the polls had closed by saying that they thought the Tories had won. Thursday night, though, they sure took a long time to call it, and there was a clear effort from certain quarters to try and keep everyone's hopes up. I imagine most Beeboids were as shocked as that girl Huw Edwards got riled up on Friday. All their friends were for Remain and everything in the social media feed told them Remain would walk it. I guess there are some dangers from the billionaire Progressives who run Facebook and Twitter manipulating the feeds to push a political agenda after all. Heh.<br /><br />The Remainiacs at the Spectator never missed an opportunity to sneer at Farage just like their establishment counterparts (and partner in at least one case) at the BBC. Which side was the vicious angry one, always making it personal? I forget.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.com
