Wait until the brainless unemployed and minimum wage earners vote Farage in. Imagine their surprise when their wages are cut, benefits stopped and the NHS has to be paid for by buying insurance. That on top of contributing to a private pension because there’ll be no state pension.

My American friends. In Britain we have a Trump supporter called Farage. He’s a right wing extremist and racist. Sadly because of our government being unable to sort out our immigration problem legally he now has many followers. We’re on the same track as you. If you see Farage throw milkshakes.

She didn’t see Trump do anything inappropriate. What is inappropriate when you are invited to come over and have sex with little girls? Is inappropriate to not have sex with them? She’s not lying she’s being careful with context.

A couple of months ago I was asked by two lovely young ladies if they could hold their wedding in my paddock. Today is their wedding day. Arbours of flowers picked from the meadow.

The new runway at Heathrow is going to be over 11000ft long. Isn’t it time we started building aeroplanes with shorter take off and landing requirements? A C130 requires 3500ft of runway when it’s loaded. I’ve taken off in them on runways of less than 2000ft. Is it time to follow the money?

Same here. The Labour government we have is pretty much indistinguishable from the previous Conservative one. But the whole of British politics is taking a jump to the right. People still want their social benefits though. It’s about racism and stoking fear.
