So Farage criticises the UK Government for not following Donald Trump's endorsement to allowing him to be British ambassador to the US. But has he forgotten that he’s campaigned that UK should be allowed to make their own decisions and have parliamentary sovereignty and not be dictated to by another country.

So, one brown is in. Just one black candidate is required to fulfil the tick box exercise, and that's it! He may also get a Muslim in, but time will tell.

He might be a darky, but he's an evolution denying and man-made climate-change contesting darky.

Yes, they are clearly dodgy hollowheads, man. I wouldn't insult a sacred coconut, I'd rather call them rotten (from inside) aubergines.

To be honest, the word 'coconut' to denote any thick darkie is a complete SIAL. So, I can imagine why it's only as funny as Mr. Cole being described as a Choc Ice.
Appropriate (if not earth shattering funny) use of the term by James, though.

It wasn't used to describe Carson as thick. He's not thick.

Ok, but the term 'coconut' is usually used to describe the thickness of some ethnic's' skull. Mostly for Asians. It's even invented by the Asians. I don't have any Google source to prove that, but I know it. My instincts tell me.

See, I found on the top of the Google:
In Bristol, a black councillor, Shirley Brown, has been found guilty of racial harrassment for calling her Asian political opponent a 'coconut'. The term coconut, has been used to accuse someone of betraying their race, or culture, by implying that, like a coconut, they are brown on the outside but white on the inside.-29 Jun 2010
I like this, but I also know that among Asians, they ridicule one another with the term 'coconut', for being silly halfhead or a bit thick. That's my source.
I am Asian and I am aware of banter among Asians.
Edited to say that by saying "I like this", I don't mean I support racism. What I mean is that the use of the term 'coconut' for someone brown from outside and white from inside makes sense. That's all.

Named after the coconut, the nut from the coconut palm; in the American sense, it derives from the fact that a coconut is brown on the outside and white on the inside (see also "Oreo" below).
(US) a person of Hispanic descent who is accused of acting "white".[71]
(US/SA) a black person who is accused of "trying to be white".[72]
(UK) a brown person of South Asian descent who has assimilated into Western culture.[73][74][75]
(New Zealand/Australia) a Pacific Islander.[76]

There are literally dozens of definitions that support mine and none that support yours. Because of that, I'm going to ignore your instincts. Instincts have landed the UK in the dung.

But they doesn't dispute the fact that the inter-exchange among the Asians (that I know) often utilises this term as a fun-insult. Of course, it does! You don't have to believe it, if you don't want to. It makes no difference to me. If you don't know much about the inter-exchange among the Asians (some, if not all), I don't blame you. You are not an Asian, are you? So I don't really expect you to know that.
Actually, even here, when we had a few Asians posting, this term was used by them for each other (between the two of them) in banter. I'm sorry I can't pull such post/s out. I'm not good at things like that. I'm a bit of a coconut in things like pulling out old posts, in my own sense.
