Those we haven’t loved. It’s been quite the week for rightwing populists shooting their mouths off. Trolling the world. We’ve had Donald Trump at the UN. Rubbishing medical science by advising pregnant women not to take Tylenol. Telling the Europeans they were all going to hell. Claiming to have brokered a peace with countries that weren’t even at war with one another.
We’ve had Nigel Farage on LBC radio. Insisting that London wanted to “go to sharia law”. Because a taxi driver from Buckingham had told him so. Sparking fear among swans in every royal park that they were about to be eaten by filthy foreigners. Threatening to deport anyone who had been granted indefinite leave to remain.
