    All the people cheering it on oblivious to the fact that this just helps Farage and garners more sympathy for him and his party.

    She claimed she threw it because “he doesn’t stand for what she believes in”. If only there was some way of expressing that. Like a vote or something. 🤔

    I bet she won’t even bother voting.

          Already confirmed it’s not her. But the narrative is too strong.

          Her name is Victoria Thomas-Bowen apparently. She models…

            According to The Sun, or at least I couldn’t find a source that didn’t reference them if it even referenced a source at all. While whosit the press secretary probably didn’t do it, I’m not sure The Scum is exactly a good source either

              “Here’s some evidence that it isn’t this person”.

              “Nah, I prefer my conspiracy theory”.

                Literally not what I did. I said it’s probably not whatshername, but I’m not in the habit of trusting The Sun either and it’s as likely that they got it wrong as it is that Twatter got whatshername wrong. There’s probably a reason why eg. The Guardian removed Victoria’s name from their article – and no, it’s not that they think the press secretary did it

              I just Googled her name and was provided different sources. But if those sources are referencing eachother I don’t know. For some reason “journalist” don’t have to provide sources.

                The ones I checked either didn’t have a source at all, or specifically said they got their information from The Sun

    There’s a possibility that the whole thing was a publicity stunt? This picture has started circulating.

      Apparently that’s a different person. More on this as it develops. Over to Emperor with sports news.

          You’re asking how could Farage be so dense?

          But seriously speaking, this could just be a case of mistaken identity too; it’s not like either of them has a very unique look exactly

        Thanks for that. I left Twitter in Nov 22, so I can’t follow the interesting threads anymore.
