Nigel Mirage. Appears everywhere until there's actual work to be done, then vanished completely.

[–] JTskulk@lemmy.world 21 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Trump said something similar, he said if he lost to Biden he would move out of the country. Unfortunately that was lie like everything else.

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

No other stable country would tolerate him. Except Russia.

[–] Kekzkrieger@feddit.org 3 points 2 hours ago

Russia aint stable

As an Aussie,, I hate to say this, but it kinda fits for you, Fuck off we're full.

Who could have thought, that separating yourself from one of the top three economic blocks on the planet, would have negative consequences?

[–] amateurcrastinator@lemmy.world 18 points 13 hours ago

But the sovereignty!

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 15 points 12 hours ago

Just. Fucking. Die! Cunt.

You UK folks need to start making stronger milkshakes. Possibly with hydroflouric acid.

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

This got a lot more likely five eaving the EU has removed a lot of food safety regulations in the UK.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe a cocktail would work better.

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 20 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Same guy who thought it'd be a good idea to have Sargon of Akkad join UKIP.

I used to feel weird when my niche internet obsessions started bleeding into the real world, but nowadays it's become so common that I barely react when some obscure internet drama that I think is funny, suddenly blooms into real world politics and I'm just sat here like "oh... again, huh?"

Anyway, one could probably have seen it coming that brexit wouldn't be a smart decision, but whatever, man.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

They seriously let that clown join the national party of clowns? I guess he fits right in there, but wtf is a youtuber doing in a political party?

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 6 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

He wasn't even alone. Count Dankula also joined, and later left because he found the party to be unserious and cringe. He made a video about it at one point. I don't agree with Dankula about every opinion he has, but I do find him to be smarter and more level-headed than most of his peers.

Sargon of Akkad went from being a youtuber who was a bit full of himself, to getting a minor god complex once he joined UKIP and spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to impress the infamous internet troll Mister Metokur, which is a whole saga in its own right. It was fucking hilarious to follow in real time.

Meanwhile, the press did what the press does and dug up all kinds of stupid shit that sargon had been saying over the years and, well, he quickly became a liability.

I had been pretty pissed with Sargon since the Candid scandal that most people seem to have forgotten since, so I was just enjoying the show, watching this dumbass making an utter fool of himself. I think a lot of UKIP's bad press and failure as a party can be traced back to Sargon because when he joined the party, they were still somewhat seen as a respectable party that you could take seriously even if you disagreed with their politics. After sargon, they were seen as a clown show and I also think Farage left the party shortly after - unless I'm misremembering. It's been awhile.

I don't watch reality TV because I have the internet and it's lolcows. The fact that these politicians allowed sargon of akkad into their party without doing a proper background check is fucking insane 🤣 they allowed him and Dankula in their party to catch the attention and support of their followers and they paid dearly for that, lol. In ignorant theory, it seems like a good idea to try and utilize influencers to further your party's cause and reach a younger crowd - potentially - but back then, politicians did not understand internet culture nor how fucking insane it is. Overall, politicians seem a tiny bit more aware today, but they are still not getting it. That mixing brain dead entertainers with your cause could possibly backfire. Especially if your party appeals to the more reckless among us in society.

Of course, there could be many more factors as to why Farage decided to leave UKIP and for the party kinda falling apart at the seams other than just Sargon, but it is incredible how fast shit hit the fan after thel let Sargon join their party. Everybody who knew about Sargon knew that this was gonna end badly and we were all there for it. Rightwingers as well as leftwingers. Joined in harmony, laughing at the circus.

Somehow still more entertaining than when Kanye West hired Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos as his campaign managers.

At some point you can't do anything but laugh.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Thanks for the background!

Tbh, to me Farrage was never more than a troll. I mean, boxing through Brexit using lies and then as soon as the referendum is done, just mikedropping out of politics because he knows that this is when the hard part begins is just a pure troll move.

He's never actually accomplished anything apart from creating chaos and then disappearing.

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 1 points 11 minutes ago* (last edited 5 minutes ago)

Yeah. There seem to be a lot of people like him in politics these days. They will drop their bombs on our lives and we will have to clean up their messes afterwards. I guess this is what happens when humans become too comfortable 😅

I knew (and still know) fuck all about British politics so most of what I know about UKIP came from the lolcow corner of the internet, where we were all just eating our popcorn while watching the shitshow. All I know is that before Sargon joined UKIP it seemed to be talked about as an actual serious political party and after Sargon joined, it became a total clownshow in media.

Glad to hear that to those who are savvy in British politics, farage was seen as a clown already. Still too bad that he succeeded in screwing over the UK and then peaced out when the consequences came his way. I'm sure it'll be the same with trump, if he lives long enough until next election, lol.

Lazerpig For Labour is all I heard

[–] DirtPuddleMisfortune@feddit.org 46 points 18 hours ago

It was always meant like: "If I fuck up with this Brexit, you guys can pay the price! I will live comfortably somewhere else!"

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Nonono, let the Brits keep their garbage.

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago

Yeah wtf don't send us this guy.

[–] CummandoX@lemmy.world 64 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair this is no self inflicted punishment whatsoever.

The guy basically said: "If I turn the place we all live in into a living hell, I will leave it"

No shit Sherlock, I am sure a lot of your compatriots are doing just that right now

The issue I see here is, and I believe I'm speaking for the entire rest of the world here, we don't want him

[–] jaded_genie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I’ll take him as my neighbor in a heartbeat! Send him over here!

My kids wake up randomly at night screaming, torturing the entire neighborhoods - send the twat over here to get some banshee in the middle of the night treatment

[–] knowone@slrpnk.net 69 points 1 day ago (14 children)

He should just be exiled to some random, remote uninhabited island. Then he'll never have to deal with another foreigner again and we wouldn't have to deal with him

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about North Sentinel Island?

[–] knowone@slrpnk.net 22 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Oh yeah great suggestion actually, I'm sure the locals would receive him in the best way he deserves

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 9 points 19 hours ago

We should dry rub him first. Maybe add some bay leaves.

That would be a bit of a dick move to all the fish and bugs that live on and near those islands, they don't deserve to have to put up with him either. I suggest a random planetoid somewhere.

I'm picturing a movie poster: Brexit Has Fallen

[–] martinb@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 hours ago

Somehow that's poignant

"If Brexit fucks everything up, I'll just leave and let the rest of you deal with it"

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

That's what Dyson did, didn't they? They supported Brexit with a ton of money to transform UK into a no-worker-rights hellhole, and when that didn't happen fast enough, they moved production to Asia.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's still here fucking stuff up

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 27 points 23 hours ago

Farage: "On second thought, I think I will stay around and fuck up some more of your shit."

Voters: "Yes please!!!!!!"

[–] radiouser@crazypeople.online 7 points 17 hours ago

Now that oxygen thief is doing the same crap again with the ~~Deform~~ Reform party and the UK are lapping it up.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 19 points 23 hours ago

Oh, so if your policy fails, you'll abandon ship ?
And you want to be a politician ?
Listen, it's time for you to stand in front of the wall
You and that other blond hair ducker
We have suffered your continued existence long enough.
