  1. This man doesn’t have an original idea in his head. “They’re eating the cats and dogs!” all over again.

  2. _”They are eating the cats and dogs”_ – Poundland Trumpf at it again.

  3. he’s desperately trying to import culture war bullshit from the US

  4. Well, they eat cats and dogs in the US. Seems to me our immigrants have a swankier, classier touch. Imroyal parks no less. Probs with napkins

  6. he is such a Farage tribute act.

    Its like he is doing “trump drag” but what sets his trump apart is that hes British

  7. Waste of time…swans taste of mud according to Sandi Toksvig.

    And besides, it’s mainly neck.

  8. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out the Queen used to have Swan sandwiches for lunch.

  9. “In St James Park, they are eating the swans. The people that came in, they are eating the ducks. *hand gestures* They’re eating—they are eating the pets of the royals that live there.”

  10. First they came for the Swans
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Swan

  11. Farage appeals to people who wouldn’t know a fact even if they saw one in real life. They happily gobble up whatever lies are handed to them as long as it fits their racist agenda. Using reason or logic or facts to debunk these lies is a waste of time as Farage’s people will just gobble up the next lie that floats across their social media feed.

  12. They really do just follow the same playbook as Trump, utterly embarrassing. 

  13. What? They all belonged to the Queen. Now she’s gone, I thought the swans were fair game?

    Do you know how many nuggets you can make from a swan?!?

  14. Do you add BBQ or Mint Sauce with these or is it Cranberry? Asking for a friend…

  16. If people can’t tell Farage is just another Trump-like figure, I’m not sure what to tell them. It seems we are all pulled down by the stupidest among us voting these charlatans into office.

  17. Not heard “they’re eating the swans” for years. Didn’t they used to blame the polish for this when they “invaded” and took all our jobs?

  18. I don’t really know what he’s got against Prince Philip. Seriously! Ok he was foreign, came over on a boat, lived in a council house on state handouts, and was quite partial to Swan but let the guy rest in peace.

  22. He obviously use the same information sources as Trump.

    One man’s verbal diarrhea is a fool’s red meat.

  23. Farage tries to wriggle out of this one by saying nobody can prove Swans are not being eaten.

  24. Man. This did the rounds more than 20 years ago when “Eastern European” nations joined the EU and lots came to work here. Same old nonsense repeated without any thought as to whether it might be true. Farage has the trump instruction manual open and is devouring every bit.

  25. It’s increasingly obvious that if you elect Farage, you get Trump. Two thirds of what he says is just copied from Trump without any critical thinking applied.

  26. He’ll be telling us that paracetamol causes autism next.

  27. Quick! Say another extra extravagant claim to keep your taxes out of the discussion!

  28. Farage says as he has Putin behind him and Trump in front of him at the spitroast.

  29. That’s actually an amusing spin to the cats and dogs thing.

    Now folks remember, when the cats and dogs thing was said people found it funny, but it was just the early work to do quite a bit of harm to people. So yeah, this is funny but it’s also preety ominous.

  30. Why are there not rules about MPs lying? Seems like a lot of issues could be handled properly if they didnt just lie constantly.

  31. They’re eating the cats, theyre eating the dawwggs, theyre eating the swwaaannns.
