Certainly is, doubt weāll hear much of him now.
Never understood how he became āpopularā. Obnoxious, unfunny, rude and ignorant with no talent is how I see him. All the badāuns coming out of the closets at the moment it seems.

I think the way he speaks resonates with a certain level of youngsters.

I was being diplomatic, something I stuggle with but well put John 
Odious character.
Seems UK youth are being influenced by the most unpleasant selection of male media hogs. The revolting Tate brothers providing a lighter version of black rappers. For all this I blame ubiquitous online obsession.
However, as bad as it is in UK, could be worse. Note facsistas revival in Spain

Evening Corona et al!; !brand, musk, the appalling tates and the orange one should all be locked up. Le Pen perhaps will be. they had better sort out the appeal, I think she should be allowed to to run in 27 but her headquarters? A prison cell. Or thereāll be a lot of trouble

From News Thump -
I said nothing when they came for Andrew Tate, I said nothing when they came for Russell Brand, I said nothing when they came for Laurence Fox, and I remain perfectly comfortable with all of those decisions

Is there a bit of a backlash against le pen and her popularity actually increasing, petition to not jail etc.
Meanwhile a labour MP Dan Norris has been arrested for allegedly rape.

They used to say the Labour scandals were always about money and with the Tories always sex.
Perhaps the modern Labour party really are āred Toriesā.
As for Starmer, I donāt think he is nearly as bad as the naysayers would have it but he has made some avoidable gaffs and I donāt think he has the imagination to do what is necessary to get the country back on track.
Which is a problem, because I donāt think anyone else does either, certainly not Farage, Badenoch, or Corbyn. Probably not Ed Davey either.
