Nigel Farrage where is he now?

Yes Day6 I recognise it and I can't be bothered with it anymore. Goodnight everyone for you all.

Are we talking about Trump now, not Farage?

Yes, Trump's remarks made me feel queasy, and in fact Brigitte Macron did not look in good shape that I could tell. However, Melania did look very classy when she was in Paris.

I thought that Trump was going to offer Farage a job? What happened? Or is it too difficult to combine being a full-time MEP with living across the pond?

Apart from that, I think maddyone's posts are the most reasoned, particularly as she says she voted remain.

My point is that you can separate a comment from a particular context to ascertain whether it is intrinsically sexist (or racist, or anythingist, or not as the case may be) and I think that is important in general terms.

I agree that the comment Trump made to Brigitte Macron was inappropriate and sexist in the circumstances. I don't agree that the same comment would be inappropriate, sexist or creepy in all circumstances. That's all I was getting at. I'm not sure I'd ever think that particular comment disgusting.

Basically, he's a dirty old man ( sorry for bring agist and sexist) - do you remember the comment he made about his own daughter - that if he wasn't her father, he'd fancy her because she was so 'hot'. Yuk, I need a shower just thinking about him.

In the light of all of the taped comments he's made about women, any comment he makes about a woman's appearance makes me uneasy ...

You can't separate his comment from the context - of course it wouldn't always be sexist but in this case it was sexist, creepy, disgusting, inappropriate - yuk - he makes my skin crawl.

How many women would make that remark to a man who was married to someone they were officially visiting?
Good point, suzied. Trump is in a class of his own among political leaders.

Trump and his general inapprpropriateness aside, is it always sexist to say someone, anyone, is in good shape? If a woman said it to a woman would it be sexist? Or if a man said it to a man, or a woman to a man?

I bet Macron wouldn't be married to Brigitte if she weren't in good shape. Just saying.

I am still wondering what illogical response there could be to Farage taking his £84,000 per annum MEP salary while not attending. Surely no-one is going to post to say what a great job he has been doing assiduously collecting the dosh and working hard at spending it?

Then answer my questions please Day6; how do you justify him not doing the job he was paid to do? Failing that, I must agree with Rigbys comment that I will not get a logical response. I'm waiting....

Rigby - Tegan I admire your tenacity and agree with everything you've posted but you wont get a logical response ( as I think you knowgrin)

Sneeringly smug much????
Do you pride yourself on your loftily elitist put-downs Rigby?

Anyone else notice the regular "Oh ha ha...those who oppose us, such thickos" love-in, often typical on the political threads?

It happens with constant regularity.

You don't recognise logic unless it agrees with your left wing bias, ever.

There was a pic of them holding hands, I agree it was at his instigation and she looked most uncomfortable.

Did anyone watch this at the Proms?

For people who need to calm down.

But Ana she did rush over and some feel with unseemly haste given what an idiot he is

TM didn't 'rush over to Trump and hold his hand' - what a vivid imagination you have, ^SuzieD*!

Isn't Farage still being investigated for defrauding the EU?

Cindersdad, I think you'll find lots of us disliked Farage and UKIP long before we became remainers.

Tegan I admire your tenacity and agree with everything you've posted but you wont get a logical response ( as I think you know)

I seem to remember Teresa M rushing over to Trump and holding his hand....

And I'd love to know why I or anyone else on here should criticise what EM does re DT - especially when we've no idea what he was up to.

As a comparison to Farage, yes. Corbyn doesn't jump on and off bandwagons. So can you please justify Farage not doing the job he is paid to do [especially as this is, actually a thread about the man himself...].

I honestly don't get your point Day . Didn't take anything seriously between EM and DT - both playing games but EM is the cleverer. I would comment on behaviour between DT and TM because the latter is our prime minister - I think your comment was a bit snidey actually

At least Corbyn is a democratically elected MP who does the job he is paid to do

So that justifies Corbyn's dodgy mates and affiliations does it Tegan?

Yes, must admit I thought we'd have loads of column inches on Gransnet about the very public displays of affection between Macron and Trump as they became 'best buddies' in France quite recently.

Can you imagine the bile if Theresa May and Trump had the same cordial shenanigans in London? She'd have been criticised on here as a traitor forever and a day.

At least Corbyn is a democratically elected MP who does the job he is paid to do. Unlike Farage who is a democratically elected Euro MP who doesn't.If Farage had any decency he would give the money he is paid for doing nothing to charity. But I don't think he'd understand the word 'decency'.
