      Sandy Beech's witty response aside, for me the really horrifying thing is that Labour are probably the best option at this point.

      Or maybe I'm just biased against Nigel Farage. Does it count as bias when he's such a fucking bellend?

      I was only joking

          A long sequence of colorful epithets is a hackneyed trope at best. Not the best reply ever.

            Oh pardon me, you joyless, cardigan-wearing, eyebrow-furrowing, pseudo-intellectual, pipe-clutching, over-analytical, metaphor-strangling, fun-policing, sepia-toned humanities lecturer of a man. Some of us are trying to enjoy the rhythm before you arrive with a clipboard and declare the banter insufficiently original.

                That article is bollocks. I lived in Manchester for four years, and never heard the word 'bobbins' a single time.

                'Wazzock' is quite commonly used in the north where I grew up. I can't speak for the other unspeakable areas of the country that are addressed by the Failing New York Times.

                    I dislike Farage more than any other UK politician, he is the worst, and shall never vote for anything associatedwith him.

                    However, Starmer is difficult to like:

                      I wouldn't say that was particularly egregious by today's standards.
