I wish Farage had died in that plane crash.

Yes, it is alright to hope that, but why are you conflating that with people wishing him physical harm or even death. If you can't see the difference then you have gone down in my opinion (and even though I may not always agree with your posts I thought you had integrity). You can do better than that.

Without wishing to get into specifics or wishing death on anyone, it's interesting to ponder what a sliding doors moment that plane crash has turned into the UK. Had Farage died it's likely the UKIP cause would never have got going in the same way (most of the rest are utter cranks who would have cost them in the end, like Bloom). Not fearing an outflanking on the right in 2015, Cameron never promises the EU referendum in his manifesto and likely wins outright in the same way. He might well be standing down around now as PM as his party prepares to fight a (postponed) General Election, where his Governments handling of the Coronavirus crisis will be the cornerstone of the campaign against Yvette Cooper.
Yes, Yvette Cooper. Because Miliband was beaten convincingly in 2015 and didn't resign suddenly, meaning the Labour party didn't rush through a poorly thought-out rule around paying £3 for a vote, meaning a lot of the Corbyn vote never turned up and he likely failed even to get onto the ballot in the first place. Cooper was the outstanding candidate in the field among the other three and would almost certainly have won. UKIP would be a dud force hoovering up the votes of a few xenophobes on the hard right, "Brexit" would be merely a glint in Mark Francois' eye and the UK would currently be working closely with it's EU partners on the Covid-19 pandemic.

Death to fascism, it has no place is a civilised integrated/fair society. Do you not agree with that?
It would appear that we re living in a society thats is shifting toward it one way or another, a significant minority being hoodwinked Into voting for it.
TBF, I still work in feet and inches
Despite being schooled in metric, (born in the 70's) as soon as I went to work it was mostly inches, thou freaked me for a bit, but when I see a small gap now its always a few thou, never 0.2mm I'll always be just under 6'3" 1.89m? Pfff! 34" waste etc . . . .
Weight is metric though
Farij is an imperial **** married to a metric nazi . . .

Depends what trade you're in I suppose. I don't suppose anyone involved in graphic design uses inches. Except Americans, who prattle on about five-sixteenths of an inch bleed while the rest of the world laughs at them.
I am not conflating the two things at all.... I have never wanted him to lose his life, just to lose his influence on suggestible people!
What's with the searing criticism?

I can’t recall wishing a British politician dead.
But the passing of both Trump and Pence in an accident, wouldn’t upset me in the slightest.

some adults can see beyond the "remoaner"/"brexiteer" divide
and can just see someone as being a repulsive individual who has contributed to an incredible and long lasting divide in this nation that will take decades to repair and makes a living from causing division and spreading hatred

Ah the "immigrants only come to use our benefits" nonsense. Nonsense because in fact immigrants pay far mmore in total in tax and NI than they take in benefits. Bit like the argument for charging twice to use the NHS. But never let facts get in tthe way of prejudice eh?

The 'adults' being the ones wanting to see someone dead obviously.
Of all the hateful, reprehensible posts on this thread mine was definitely worth singling out for comment. About your level indeed.
