Neil Hamilton shows the world what a charming person he is:

Greta Thunberg: Neil Hamilton accused of 'personal attack' on child activist

The Children's Commissioner for Wales has criticised a UKIP AM for making a "personal attack" on Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

Sally Holland said she was "mortified" by Neil Hamilton's tweet that included a picture mocking the 16-year-old.

Ms Holland has written to him expressing "disappointment" that Mr Hamilton could make an "attack on a child on social media in this manner".

But he said it would be preposterous if Ms Thunberg was immune from criticism...

While I agree she shouldn't be "immune from criticism", I would have hoped a supposed grown-up would have kept his criticism to the message, rather than descending to personal attacks on the messenger.

Then I thought, "A grown-up would, but this is that disgusting shitebag Hamilton".

And a normal functioning grown-up most likely knows the difference between criticism and critique

As I said elsewhere: I was more surprised that it's taken this long for him to get around to attacking her than by him actually doing it.

Obvious joke is obvious.

Dafuq is "far moderate"?

[Boiler]

Yeah, I saw that too. It elicited a similar response.

Let me see, we have an American President whose surname is British slang for a fart, we have a UK Prime Minister whose surname is American slang for a penis, and now we have a new UKIP leader whose name in nominative determinism top trumps will need something exceptional to be beaten.

Putin's playing a bad joke on the western world, isn't he?

And his name is remarkably close to the French word for prostitute.

Ah, those Brexit Lovelies again. They are being groomed by these people, aren't they?

I stumbled across a tweet from the dark haired one some months ago where she was pictured in a short skirt waving a couple of Union flags.

As was pointed out by whoever it was who retweeted it, the responses she was getting from the Farage faithful, most of which seemed to be men aged 55 and above, were distinctly unsavoury.

All a bit Epstein?

Fenton has covered these two here.

Wondering how long ago that picture was taken, are they still Nigel's girls or have they now gone full Mitford? The Mail appears to have lost interest.

UKIP holds conference amidst row over leader's no-show

UKIP remains relevant and is "needed now like never before", its leader in Wales has insisted ahead of the party's annual conference in Newport.

After having a pop at Wigmore last week, I'm beginning to think Kay Burley has run out of fucks to give.

What on earth is going on?
