These aren’t anti-politicians, they’re the worst kind of politicians. No answers (remember these muppets still have no immigration policy at all), in the business of exploiting our country’s challenges never solving them

The Muppets are *fantastic*. Reform politicians are not. Do not equate the two.

I'd vote for Kermit over frog faced Farage every time. And not just because of Kermit's Green credentials.

Well done. You know the Swedish chef came up with a new salad using pencils mixed with apples and an undisclosed pink chewy ingredient? Called it Staedtler & Waldorf

As Kermit said, "It's not easy, being green." We should do it anyway.

Not only exploiting the challenges but attempting to make them worse. They’re happy to see the government fail, to create ammunition for their attacks.

Yeah and they're breaking through because your party is determined not to improve people material conditions.

No immigration policy? But surely that is their whole world?

He thinks the UK is in the "Western hemisphere." 😸

Well, good to know that none of this applies to Cambridge then. Or, not a little hilariously, Skegness.

It's an awful letter but yes, the UK is literally almost entirely in the western hemisphere. And anyway it's not literal: it's being used as metonymy for "the Atlantic world" or "the West" or whatever

Again, the vast majority of the UK’s land area is shown to be in the western hemisphere in both those pictures?

A simple “ug” would have been quicker than this primal scream turned into word doc.
