This sad man, our very own alternative-facts-lover on an even lower level if possible than Gove, Johnson et al, is now surely on the way out, following confirmation that claims about losing close friends at the Hillsborough disaster on his website were false*. Will the good citizens of Stoke take note in this post-shame era? Anyway, it's time again to enjoy that masterly and fine-tuned rant against Nuttall and his like from the great Stewart Lee (somehow the plurals are funny in themselves). The 'bloody immigrants, coming over here' voyage back through history, based on a statement from the lovely Paul, dates from 2013 but doesn't date and never will so long as there's prejudice around. For some reason it's not embeddable, but this is a neat preface with damning straight-to-camera address to Nuttall of Liverpool**.
And now see the whole big speech, the best bit of comedy on the internet I think I've ever seen.
*Nuttall's website manager took responsibility and resigned. But it was up there, until removal, as a direct quotation from the man himself. And now he's on record as saying the same thing twice to the BBC. Time for him to go, without a shadow of a doubt. But there is no shame from such folk.
**Nor does Liverpool want him back, as its Mayor made clear in no uncertain terms. Maybe the White House or the Kremlin can find him a kennel within their precincts?
