Jeremy Corbyn is suing Nigel Farage, so their respective supporters will meet outside the High Court before heading to the pub together, like those people who variously followed the King around in royalist tat and followed him around with Not My King placards.
But Corbyn and Farage should both sue Fred Thomas, meaning that those supporters would meet as comrades on the courthouse steps. Even before then, they should picket Thomas together wherever he went. Who would turn up for Thomas? Presumably his close friend Ivor Caplin. We are a third of the way to identifying the Dirty Dozen de nos jours. Caplin, his partner "Steve", Peter Kyle and Thomas make quite the Sidney Cooke, Leslie Bailey, Robert Oliver and Steven Barrell.
Farage's libel of Corbyn depended on the Blairite enforcement agency that was the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Centrism and right-wing populism are con tricks to sell exactly the same economic and foreign policies to different audiences by pretending to wage a culture war. Fascism is inherent in both of them, and it never arises except by their joint enterprise. But this week, the Blairites lost control of the EHRC, and also of the Supreme Court. Think on.
You should address the joint rally outside the court when Corbyn and Farage both sued Thomas.
