General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

There's a possibility that the whole thing was a publicity stunt? This picture has started circulating.

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 29 points 5 months ago (2 children)

She really does look pretty similar especially in the profile headshot

How could he be so dense to think these pics wouldn't come to light?

You're asking how could Farage be so dense?

But seriously speaking, this could just be a case of mistaken identity too; it's not like either of them has a very unique look exactly

How could anyone be so dense to jump on this conclusion when it's apparent it's a different person?

Her name is Victoria Thomas-Bowen. She models online for cash.

For cash, you say?!

Thanks for that. I left Twitter in Nov 22, so I can't follow the interesting threads anymore.

Oh I've never been on Twatter, somebody shared this on a Discord I'm on

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Even better!

My mental health is terrible enough as it is, I'd have been put in the loony bin long ago if I'd spent any appreciable amount of time on Twatter

Apparently that's a different person. More on this as it develops. Over to Emperor with sports news.

Aside from the same colour hair, they don't even look alike.

This is desperate stuff.

Different nose and hairline are the biggest takeaways. Not easy to see every feature with the pictures provided though.

Politics aside, as I'm not a UK resident. This is some House of Cards or Succession level of narrative pushing.

Edit* pure cope. Her name is Victoria Thomas-Bowen. An Only Fans model.
