Farage uses Christ’s resurrection as an excuse to moan

In the UK, Christmas has become an excuse for right-wingers to complain about supermarkets’ labelling policies. Now, Farage is looking to branch out into a bit of Easter-themed moaning:

The problem is Farage barely seems to know what he’s upset about.

Jesus Christ

In the clip above, Farage begins:

It’s Easter! Happy Easter to all of you.

Should we take bets on how long it will take before he starts moaning?

If you guessed ‘immediately’, congratulations, because this is what came next:

Not of course that you know it’s Easter because it seems that now cities, towns all over our country are really, really shy about advertising the fact.

Easter isn’t like Christmas, with town centres putting up Easter lights and Easter trees. There are certainly local traditions, however, like the egg rolling which takes place in parts of Scotland and my home town of Preston.

The reason why towns and cities promote Christmas is obvious: the financial incentive. During the winter months, people shop more than ever and go on work dos and nights out. No one buys Easter presents or drunkenly kisses an acquaintance under the mistle-egg.

Has Farage forgotten that we live in a capitalist society?

Has Farage forgotten about his DOGE unit, which dictates all government decisions should be driven by ruthless economic efficiency?

Look, if Reform want to make Easter a thing, I’m not saying no; I’m just pointing out it will mean central government providing local areas with the cash they need to shower everything in eggs. We’ll also need an artistic effort to write all the Easter pop songs we’re currently missing, because I don’t see how we’re going to have a good time without smash hits like Jingle Egg Rock and I Saw Mommy Kissing Some Sort of Humanoid Rabbit.

Farage continued:

So why have we got this holiday? Well it’s very simple. It’s all about the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Spoken like a man who just googled ‘what is Easter?‘

He added:

Of course we can be tolerant of all religions. We always have been. But isn’t it about time we started to insist that this is who we are?

Two points here:

Firstly, we have never been wholly tolerant of all religions, and Reform UK is markedly less tolerant than any other political parties (besides the fringe groups of the far right, obviously).

Backing that up, here’s Farage labelling British Muslim voters ‘extremists’:

Secondly, what do you mean by “who we are”?

The reason you’ve not seen Easter ‘advertised’ anywhere, Nigel, is because you’re not a church-goer.

If you were, you would have been seeing Easter decorations for weeks.

Farage — He is risible

Farage ends his message as follows:

So I wish you all a very good, peaceful family time. And it reminds me of the founding principles of Reformer UK, family, community, country.

Yes, because this is what Jesus died and returned for, isn’t it; to give Farage an excuse to plug his party’s mission statement.

Really, Farage doesn’t seem to know what to say in his Easter message. This presumably means he’s struggled to find Easter eggs without the word ‘Easter’ plastered all over them this year.

We look forwards to 2027, anyway, when Farage asks why there are no Pancake Day decorations up.
