It oftens seems that if you go far enough right, and far enough left, there's a meet-up round the back....

OMG I dont live in Hull

I must be confusing you with someone else.

In which case I deeply apologise for my accidental horrific insult. I wouldn't like to be accused of living in Hull either, I shouldn't throw such appalling accusations about so casually.

Thats ok but I was fuming

There's some truth in that. Extremes of either ends up with intolerance, silencing debate and locking people up. e.g. this current government.

There's no need to be pedantic. The reports are there in print, for anyone's inspection. There's not only no need to build a fantasy alternative set of facts, it's ponitless and deceitful to do so.

You saying that "the man sang" is a lie
The child sang

 

[aveatry]

It's a great story and Sky's line of defence grows more bizarre by the day. Farage claimed Sky knocked on his daughters door at 0730, SKY say this is a blatant lie because it was nearer 10am.
Another line of defence from SKY is that the reporters simply asked Farages daughter if her daddy was home and this does not constitute 'interaction'.

The lefties will be very annoyed

Nonsense. I don’t think I’ve been this amused with politics for years. Few things in politics makes me happier than seeing Fromage make a complete tit of himself whilst he drowns, flailing in his own corruption.

but you also want to banish anonymity on forums/social media...

For joining. Joining. Understand? I have an account with Barclays Bank as do many others. I had to provide ID to open an account. So did all the others. I don’t know their details. They don’t know mine. If anons like yourself had to provide ID, you keep yer mouth shut instead of spewing bile as if you overstepped the mark, you could be traced. You wouldn’t like that, would you, Ms Anon?

You also (despite being warned of the possible consequences) post images of young family members publicly...

My choice. Don’t you worry about it.

There’s people on this very forum, complete and utter nobody’s, that won’t even let people know what county they live in, let alone what town or street. He had every right to be annoyed when a picture of a house where his daughter lived was published in a national newspaper.

Who put the photo into the public domain?

And neither the town nor street info was published.

Yes, he has the right to be annoyed. No, he does not have the right to lie about what was done.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

Farage first published a photo of the house, presumably in the context of him owning it, I assume before his daughter lived there.

A newspaper then published a photo of the same house, stating that his daughter lived there, making her a target

Sky News then doorstepped her, uninvited and definitely not in the public interest, purely to harass and intimidate.

Can you imagine the consequences if the equivalent had happened to one of Starmer's kids? I'm sure those now saying it was nothing would be reacting in horror at the whole situation, demanding everyone involved was locked up.

 

[morqthana]

He doesn't stand outside of his daughters house doing it though, use your head for once.

 

[aveatry]

I watched his announcement live on sky news and the feed was cut at one point,
Don't know if it also happened on BBC.

 

[morqthana]

I don’t.

But your relish of violence is extremely unusual - you are not like normal people in that respect.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

Yep, saw that too. Someone terminated it at the exact moment he turned on them.

Then presumably someone else said that was too obvious and flicked the switch back.
