Andrew Tate launches ‘Bruv Party’
Andrew Tate, an extraordinarily unpleasant grifter who has been charged with criminal counts of rape, sex with a minor and human trafficking, apparently wants to set up a political party in the UK and run for Prime Minister.
It’s the ‘Bruv party’, which aims to “restore underlying values back to Britain”. Values is the V of Bruv, which turns out to be an acronym of “Britain Restoring Underlying Values”. I suppose there is some indisputable tie-in with the historic British imperialist values of rape and human trafficking.
And of course, as do all these right-wing madmen, he’s seeking succour from famously non-British wannabe-king Elon.
Polices include a reform of the BBC. This would include featuring a “24/7 live broadcast of knife crime offenders serving solitary confinement” whilst getting its other topics from Musk’s “X” network, borrowing the same community notes system that Zuckerberg also is pretending he sees as the solution to humanity’s moderation problem.
Naturally he’s also going a crypto route - saving our faltering economy via creating a national Bitcoin reserve. Oh, and holding weekly referendums. Probably via x.com polls knowing his type.
It’s very possible this thing is just an attention-seeking joke, also very common amongst his ilk. But, when I noted that possibility to an American friend. they cautioned me that the same assumption was thrown about with reference to Trump not all that many years ago.
Here’s hoping that being under house arrest in Romania curtails Tate’s chances a little.
