This the same rally looking event where the octogenarians beat the crap out of some lady while dragging her by her hair, as Farage chanted, "boring, boring."?

And jenrick dismissed the woman being beaten over the head with an " oh, boo hoo".

The party of protecting "our wimmin and gurlz", everyone! 👏🏽👏🏽

Well it's a good thing someone recorded the meeting for him, now he can rewatch it and see what he agreed to.

At the moment they are in firefighting mode. They need to retain their core base, so any excuse no matter how ridiculous will give their followers something to clutch at.

“Believe you me” is so funny to read as a English phrase

Absolutely it sounds nonsense.

It’s perfectly grammatical, but it’s one of the few commands where the subject isn’t elided. The others that occur to me are “hear ye, hear ye,” and “look on my works, ye mighty, and despair,”from Ozymandias, both of which are definitely very old fashioned sounding.

"I don't listen during important meetings" isn't the defence you think it is, Five Mil Froggie.

He's flailing like crazy now, it's almost embarrassing how pathetic his excuses are getting.
