      Only because it is accepted he has reason to fear.

      If the left etc was willing to challenge the idea a few guys rowing a boat. Is far from unusual or a danger.

      He would look like the idiot he is. But we really do seem to lack any leadership on the left ATM

    A prerequisite for being a Reform MP is clearly being THICK AS FUCKING SHIT. Of course he got rejected by even then, so he’s independent now.

    He should be ridiculed as widely and loudly as possible, along with the dumbasses who voted him in.

    The crew – Matthew Parker, Mike Bates, Aaron Kneebone and Liz Wardley, known collectively as Row4MND – said they had been contacted by the coastguard and asked if they could see a dinghy nearby.

    Bates, a Royal Navy veteran and British record holder for rowing solo across the Atlantic, said it soon became clear the coastguard was asking about his own boat. “I looked to my right and there was maybe a dozen individuals stood on the shoreline staring at us.”

    After satisfying the coastguard they were who they said they were, they continued. Several hours later, however, the coastguard contacted them again because the police had “asked if they could send a lifeboat out to check who we were”.

    I’ve been to Norfolk and Great Yarmouth, on the one hand people were great, on the other hand you had the absolute worst of society. Why the fuck are the police getting involved in the coastguards business?

    The boat has an ais transponder on it, they could have pulled out there phone, and checked what the boat was, looked at it’s picture to compare, see where it has been, what a bunch of idiots
