It was one in a combined batch of 30 photos though - I think the unintentional/haste explanation is probably reasonable in this case

It may have been in haste, but I still think social media employees for political figures need to be extra careful and review every picture, if your only excuse is “we were batch reposting” my answer would be well be more careful then.

We’ll put aside for now that Farage accusing anyone of inciting violence is hilarious.

I'm sorry to hear and hope they all keep safe

Could you explain the context. Is this domestic strife, or Pakistan vs India border skirmish?

Internal. The deal was when Pak Kashmir was kept on Pak side that the water which is ours thst flows to the dam that powers most of Pakistan, would mean we get free electricity and have federal type devolution.

That dam was so badly built by the brits it has left a load of our lands under water. Hence why so many of us were gifted visas in the 70s to come and work in the UK.

Now the Pak army is trying to renegotiate.

The people of Pak Kashmir (70% of the UK diaspora) have had no favors. We've got fudge all infrastructure support. Alot of what there is has been built by us for ourselves.

However I do think they need to consider the armies demands as they have guns and we don't really.

And look, although the T-Shirt references the XTC Album guillotine I think he was likely being underhand and knew what he was doing.

He is a plank though, as are all the reform members who promoted the idea that MPs should be shot or attacked, silly people

Margaret On The Guillotine was also the original title of the Smiths' The Queen Is Dead (and later resurfaced as a track on Viva Hate)

It may reference an album, but everyone knows the inference that will be taken.

The social media team should have seen it and should have been better.

He runs his own social media.

Beyond the obvious. The biggest attack right now on Farage relates to the £5M he took. His claim is that money is to cover his security costs. Whether you beleive him or not, that claim is given more validity in the wake of Widdocombes murder when an opposition leader is posting this kind of thing even if it’s an extremly niche reference to a 40 year old song.

The smart move now from Polanski and the greens will be to own it and apolagise without trying to make any jokes or attempts at oneupmanship. I doubt they will.
