UKIP leader

Way more robust. And sweary

How come Nigel Farage has a £m flat in London, a family home somewhere in the country, plus an apartment in Brussels and he's not a member of the elite?

Thank you for replying.

So in other words if a poster calls another a Gfer who practices Gfery they are calling them a Goady Fucker but what:-

1)Too tired to type in full?

2) Is using this abbreviation trying to make being so personal against another poster look less ignorant?.

3) Why not just call somebody a Goady Fucker, if your intention is to insult somebody why not use the maximum impact and write the words in full?.

4). Isn't using an abbreviation giving the meaning is so blunt a tad cowardly , or is it purely lazy posting?

Perhaps Gfer or Gfery should be added to GN list of abbreviations so we could ALL understand the meaning?

Suzied
He's hated by the elite. Wealth alone does not make you a member.

Actually I think it is both lazy and cowardly to just do the abbreviation, and since when was anything good about adopting Mumsnet speak?t

So what does make you a member Mair?

Elite - a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society:

You seem to see him as superior in ability, etc. Perhaps it is that not enough people see him in this way so he is not elite because he is inferior?

Someone called me one and I thought it could be rude so didn't want to know what it meant.
I do now!!

All because I started a nice 'interesting' thread which I thought would be a change from some of the rather horrible threads.

Perhaps it says more about the person using the expression than the one it is aimed at.

I still don't know what is supposed to mean...

I strongly objected to the use of the f word, coarse, common, vulgar

MPs do not have to live in their constituency. In fact, there is no residency qualification at all - an MP could even live outside the UK. There are, however, nationality and age qualifications and a number of other disqualifications for MPs.

I don't understand the obsession with Paul Nuttall , other than political bias showing it's hypocritical head.

Are some posters of the belief that there are absolutely NO MP's within the political parties they support who reside outside of their constituencies?

GG am using 'elite' in this sense:

a group of persons exercising the major share of authority or influence within a larger group:

the power elite of a major political party.

I have just realised that my post was referred to, not me personally, so the poster was carefully avoiding having the post deleted.

However, you learn something new every day on GN.
But I still don't know what Ana's nice emoticon means.

Nail on head POGS

That's why I haven't bothered with getting involved. Silly pointless sniping by the UKIP haters.

It's a thread about the UKIP leader POGS.
Should we assume that those protesting about the nature of the thread, or trying to derail it are "UKIP lovers" ?

Ofgs, why not just come out with it Jess?

Mair, are you a UKIP supporter?

I'd call myself a qualified UKIP supporter rather than a loyal one Ana. I live in a fairly marginal seat now and have always been inclined to vote tactically.

Oh so that's what I am ( a GFer). That's you and me both, jalima
It's good to know, though, what pushes people's buttons now that is being a GFer.

pogs of course its political bias.

As far as I am concerned I despise everything UKIP stands for, so yes I am biased very biased.

I hate the populist movement, I hate the rise of the right. I hate the division it is causing, I hate the fascism, I hate the the fact that I hate it!!!!!

This sort of politics I thought never to be repeated in my lifetime.

Denmark need to be worried. I've just been reading about Pernille Vermund. She is the leader of Nye Borgerlige ( new far right)
They now have enough members for her to run for parliament in 2019. She's being advised by Nigel Farage.

We all need to be worried

Sorry I'm being dim here I scrolled back but can't find out what a Gfer is. Anyone ?

Not me
I don't swear

I think it's a puerile taunt iam64 but haven't bothered to find out what it means.

whitewave, I don't see it as being biased , can one who is against the far right be called biased? No.

I do agree annie but there are some UKIP supporters on GN that will naturally not agree.
