Has anybody failed upwards more than Nigel fucking Farage? What does he actually do other than be utterly fucking detestable?

He helps cover up what other, richer people are doing.

But I don't even get that - I look at him and instinctively think "liar", how does anyone else not?

Not that he has much to offer anyone, except possibly a tempting target, but what on Earth is he going to offer the Aussies? He barely knows anything about the UK.

I think you nailed it, a tempting target for spare milkshakes.

Yeah, doesn't mean we want anymore tho. Stop sending your criminals to us, I'm pretty sure we're not a prison anymore.

Of course, it's fuckin awesome, yeah I might get bitten by a spider from the hell dimension or bitten by a snake while having a piss in my own back toilet and yeah the magpies will attempt to remove both your eyes and scalp you by dive bombing you at mach 3, but it's a great place to get drunk at all the time.

He spent 23 days there for an ITV reality show, but he came back again.

Yeah but it's Murdoch that hired him, so I feel like this is your fault.

Sky News Australia is like Fox News in US: they all are fake news outlets.

WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

They aren't fake. They are the fascist corporacratic-state propaganda machine.

Their only purpose is to conduct psychological warfare on a global scale, until they con the working class into supporting dictatorship. Their goal is the complete destruction of democracy.
