Let them eat fish.

Arron Banks, the man who bankrolled Farage (or at least acted as the laundry to pass on the Russian money to him) is boasting that "Brexit is not a process , it’s a change that will cause creative economic destruction"

Hands up everyone who voted for economic destruction, "creative" or otherwise? These people are just wreckers

I'm sure to save face, many hardened Brexiteers would quite happily allow Farage or Banks (insert similar pillock) to defecate on their doorstep and say it was all for the cause.

On another note, I thought Banks and Farage were also setting up the conveniently named Patriotic Alliance?

Their UKIP/Brexit Party 3.0 reboot seems to get rebranded every few weeks. It will emerge as something or other, primarily as a way of fleecing the gullible, like the Brexit Party with it's "pay to stand" policy that netted them millions

Essentially then it'll be a BNP/EDL style Party but for bigoted toffs? Like UKIP but it'll pretend it's not aligned to the far-right, whilst spewing hatred to different folk and holding secret tea parties with Yaxley-Lennon.

No, what used to be the Conservative Party has already taken that space

Haha, yes my mistake and rightly corrected

Home Office have finally published their report on Group Based Child Sexual Exploitation (grooming gangs) and it shows that the majority of grooming gang offenders are white men under the age of 30, and that more broadly "Research on offender ethnicity is limited, and tends to rely on poor quality data. It is therefore difficult to draw conclusions about differences in ethnicity of offenders, but it is likely that no one community or culture is uniquely predisposed to offending". That's a little embarrassing for Yaxley Lennon and his gang of ToyTown Nazis. Don't expect any of them to back down mind, it's their major source of income.

In the piece in the Guardian Priti Patel is quoted as saying “This paper demonstrates how difficult it has been to draw conclusions about the characteristics of offenders.”

The paper does draw conclusions. Just not ones her voters would like to read. As for the Waxy Lemon, there is a proliferation of far right supporters who have been convicted, along with at least 3 elected members of the Tory party in recent times, which Patel like all Tory MP's is extremely quiet about!

Twitter rumours of a Brexit deal being done. Fingers crossed. Then wait for the deluge of "Victory" bollocks as they try to spin a paper-thin deal with significant climbdowns as some kind of VE Day 2.0. It will be a cringefest

It will piss off Nige at least, every cloud and all that...

EU sources now also calling claims of deal “utter BS” and saying they are a long way on quite a few issues including fish. Suggestions that those claiming it’s near are “smoking the wrong stuff”

Wider suggestion is that those doing the negotiations think a deal could be there...... but it hasn't been looked at by the politicians and fish fetishists yet.....
