Nigel Farrage where is he now?

Farage and his new BF Trump have a lot in common. They both believe that avoiding taxes, and taking taxpayers money fraudulently means "I'm smart"

Do you remember, many years ago a ghastly rich hotel owner in NY, Leona Helmsley, said "only the little people pay taxes"?

People everywhere, including most Americans, were utterly shocked and disgusted at this remark and her name was mud. When I heard Trmp, during his campaign, say almost the same thing, I was appalled and thought "He's finished" But I was wrong. Standards of decency in the USA have dropped to a level where that got him votes. I hope we never sink that low.

If he had an ounce of decency/ honesty he would resign as an MEP as a protest against what he claims to see as a corrupt institution. He doesn't turn up or vote, so isn't "earning" the money , he even failed to turn up for the committee he was on was it fishing or gender equality? He has no intention of trying to reform it , just undermine it. yuck.

What puzzles me is that the media still seem to think we want to. Listen to what he has to say

Whilst you are all complaining about Nigel Farage you are giving Donald Trump a rest. Nigel Farage is on LBC from 7p.m. To 8p.m. Monday to Fruday each night. He is still an MEP and doing that job, I do not belong to UKIP. He is a well educated man. Why do British people spend so much time running people down?

British people run Farage down Royandsyl for far too many reasons for me to be bothered to list here. I don't suppose you would believe me anyway, why not just try reading this thread and see why most intelligent people find Farage loathsome cheat who takes the money but does not do what he is paid for.

Such a lot of unveiled hatred on here, Nigel Farage worked for many years towards achieving the referendum on remaining/leaving the EU. If it had been down to all of the other parties we would never have had a referendum. It was absolutely democratic to run the referendum as there was widespread antipathy towards the institution in Britain, therefore Mr Farage enabled a democratic vote, without him there would have been no referendum. Regardless of anyone's opinion on the outcome of the referendum or of Nigel Farage, I feel it is wholly inappropriate to be so derisory and abusive about the man who will be remembered for the achievement of the referendum (I am aware that many of those who are unhappy about the outcome of the referendum will decry the word achievement, but that is what it is, like it or not!)
Just for the record I voted remain, but I believe in the democratic process and respect the outcome. I do not feel the need to denigrate Mr Farage because he thought differently than I did, and frankly I dislike the often used term 'racist' as some form of abuse towards anyone who dislikes the open door immigration policy of recent years which has undoubtedly led to huge pressure on our services despite the obvious benefits of being able to staff the NHS and support the agricultural needs of the UK (and other industries too numerous to mention.)
I do not think there will be riots should there not be a final Brexit that many of the people voted for, but there may very well be a lot of discontent, but there again, there is much discontent anyway now.

If LBC didn't think people wanted to listen, they wouldn't have employed him.

They thought people wanted to listen to Katie Hopkins....

And didn't they?

It is not hatred Maddyone, the man is a self serving stirrer, he jumps on & off bandwagons when it suits , pretends to be the nice man who mixes with the'locals' down at the pub, ' Definitely there are people who agree with subjects he raises but he doesn't stick around to do the hard graft, speaking on various shows doesn't constitute doing his best to see policy's through . And he is happy to take the money & glory that comes his way , no principles, the sight of him toadying up to Donal Trump was surely a very good indication of how self serving & arrogant he is .

Wasn't Macron 'toadying up' to Trump recently?

Title for a new thread perhaps

Isn't it Paul Nuttall?

ww, I thought one was supposed to listen to what "the enemy" has to say . I have to admit I've only heard Farage speak a few times. I dislike his voice and his manner but what he said one those few occasions didn't sound alarming to me.

bags I've listened to him ad nauseum, and have come to the firm conclusion that he has nothing to say that is at all useful to this country, or to our way of life.

Ghastly man.

But he could still be a ghastly man and have something useful to say . Theoretically.

True in theory. My grandmother had a very useful saying about people like that which is too rude to repeat on here but I concur with her entirely.

Farage has outlived his usefulness to those who pulled his strings for the last twenty years, and helped him on his way. He will go down in history as a player in this tragedy and perhaps that will satisfy his ego.

Katie Hopkins got the sack...

It clearly is hatred said anyone doesn't believe that only need read through this thread to see the evidence. The people who find Nigel Farage objectionable are primarily those who are unhappy about the outcome of the referendum, I observe this on Gransnet and elsewhere.
As for seeing the job through, as he is not an MP or indeed in the Theresa May's cabinet, not the last time I looked anyway, and consequently Nigel Farage cannot see the job through.
I can find plenty of people worthy of dislike on both sides of the Houses of Parliament, not to mention in the wider community of well known people. Someone mentioned Donald Trump, I have to say I'm not a particular fan of his, but as with Mr Farage I find the vilification of him to be distasteful. Should we wish to be offended by people in the news, perhaps we could reserve the hatred for the really objectionable people who our government are more than happy to court eg the king of Saudi Arabia, the president of China, both of whom rule over a country which massively abuses human rights and yet there no demonstrations when they were here in the U.K on State visits, entertained our Queen and other notable people.
I suggest that we put things into proper perspective and reserve our hatred for those who really deserve it, and frankly that doesn't just mean someone with whom we disagree. This whole thread seems to have been started in order to give Nigel Farage a verbal bashing, sad!

I don't agree at all with that Maddy I found Farage loathsome long before he got on the Brexit bandwagon
His personal life is very dubious, he's a hypocrite ( didn't his French or German) wife used to draw wages working for him, he's totally dishonest ( he's drawing his EU money to this day) he's loudmouth and gruesome He is a racist there can be no other way of thinking, when you stir up hatred and division within a country....he s a manipulator that doesn't mean I like Kim Jon il or Robert Mugabe any better but I don't have the ability to vote for or against them
Didn't people line the street turning their backs when someone came on a visit a few years back wasn't that the Chinese leader ? Memory isn't so good now
I don't dislike people for the sake of it I don't jump in the bandwagon just to fit in with others I see the likes of Donald Trump and Nigel Farage as the masters of destruction and hatred and Farage helped paved the way to destroy our country through lies and just like Hitler he had the personality to rev people up to believing his rhetoric Remember the big red bus how can democracy be built on lies
A second hand car salesman in another life

I agree with Maddyone in that many of "Remainers" find UKIP objectionable. Though Nigel Farage is positively pleasant and rational compared to some other UKIP figure heads. What I really find so disturbing is the simple fact that both main parties in parliament are incapable of recognizing the simple fact people change their minds. The referendum result was a snapshot of opinion formed on the basis of misinformation and misunderstanding on all sides. Nigel Farage started the whole unfortunate business but he cannot be blamed for the blinkered attitudes of many parliamentarians as the facts begin to emerge.

Even more disturbing are comments coming out now regarding possible "sacking" of government ministers who dare to question Brexit. What happened to free speech and democracy?

There probably would eventually have been a referendum because of the members of the Conservative party who have been campaigning to leave the EU for years, but the fear of losing votes to UKIP made that more of an urgent issue. We would be seeing a lot more of the man had he managed to get the influence in America that he sought or if le Pen had been elected in France. Didn't he go to France after the referendum to help her cause, hoping that a le Pen vote would further his desire for the break up of the EU completely? On top of that is still the vision of that loathsome poster showing thousands of refugees which sowed the seed in peoples minds of this country being swallowed up by 'foreigners'. I never want to see or hear the loathsome man again if I can help it. He is evil and manipulative and he makes my flesh crawl .

Yes, there were big protests in London when the Chinese leader came, it wasn't reported much.

I don't think Macron was toadying up to Trump, a bit the other way round, did you hear his sexist remarks to Brigitte Macron?
