Nigel Farage has pledged to cancel Britain's membership from the World Economic Forum.

The only problem is, Britain isn't a member of the WEF. In fact no state is. The WEF's members are all from the private business sector.

I presume his next pledge will be to withdraw our excess and wasteful funding of the organisations Spectrum and International Rescue.

@ShredderLivesOn
I wish he would withdraw from the UK, permanently
@HeatherMJ @ShredderLivesOn He’s got a German passport, after all, so it’s easy for him to leave this septic isle

@ShredderLivesOn Ha. And the fools that follow that wannabe will lap it up.

BTW, there *really is* an International Rescue! (And no, we are not a member.) Taking the opportunity to highlight their good work. :)

The IRC

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Find out how you can help the IRC offer lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster.

@ShredderLivesOn So... is that because wingnut followers have heard Alex Jones memes and what Farage says sounds right to them, or is he genuinely ignorant?
The old evil-or-stupid conundrum.

@mjj I think he says it as it sounds good to his cult. Who typically are too lazy and/or stupid to even spend fifteen seconds check to see if what he says is even remotely true.
Or are so racist that they want it to be true.

That was probably the most evident the day after he was called out by Nick Clegg about an imaginary number of Romanians and Bulgarians that UKIP said were coming to the UK.
Which he spun to another more outrageous number for the whole EU. Which his supporters then repeated.

@ShredderLivesOn I do believe we have encountered a rare politician who talks about things they don't understand.

What a surprise.

@ShredderLivesOn
Blofeld will be nonplussed.
@space_cadet You're thinking of Spectre.

@ShredderLivesOn @space_cadet

Farage is a Mysteron to me.

@steenhive @space_cadet Not a fair comparison. The Mysterons retaliated after Captain Black mistook their telescope for a weapon and and attacked their complex.
Humans started that war.

A fairer comparison for his character might be Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

@ShredderLivesOn Nigel's last name sounds like the Malay word for "Vagina". This isn't related to anything, I just think it's funny.
