So - what is Farage up to now ?!?

Tegan I think that was too long a sentence to be painted on the side of a bus and it would have disappeared down the road before anyone had a chance to read it all ......

As for facism, the LP is treading a dangerous path with its overt anti-semitism is it not?

Similar to the communist/Marxist arguments lemon?

I thought the first mention of Hitler or Nazis on political threads meant that poster had run out of reasonable things to say.

Jalima With respect, I think you have the numbers mixed up.
I don't think so, I think it was Nige who got mixed up.

Anyone who describes any of these politicians that are so reviled by some as fascists, clearly has a very poor understanding of fascism. Correct me if I’m wrong, but are any of them suggesting that a whole minority group should have their rights removed, including the right to be employed, to travel, to have a bank account, or to attend school? Are any of them suggesting that a whole minority group should be deported, or euthanised? It is clear to me that JRM, Farage, Trump, and others who are apparently reviled by many certainly cannot be described as fascist. Hitler was a fascist, and to the poster who asked why we fought WW2, it was to defeat a true fascist!

sigh!

As I recall from history (and I suspect that very few Gnetters were adult at the time of WW2, so not really speaking from 1st hand experience
Although some of us would probably have had parents with experience of both wars who mayh or may not have talked about it.

Thugs don’t necessarily throw the actual punches, but they do employ people who do and wear Nazi regalia.

What did we fight two world wars for?
I thought everyone knew the answers to that question.

Farage on the other hand ...

but Rees-Mogg is a lot more dangerous than a thug, I believe.

agreed jalima

jura can a politician be responsible for some of the extremists who think they will support him? I doubt that Rees-Mogg is a thug and I would think he is embarrassed by this person's approbation.
Likewise extremes on the left supporting Corbyn.

I’m sure you are not really pompous lemon

Just because rags and the media use them whitewave doesn’t mean that supposedly mature women should.

Farage is dangerous. He has always been dangerous and he always will be dangerous because there are so many people in this country who believe in the vitriol that spouts forth from his mouth . And that terrifies me....

'With respect, I think you have the numbers mixed up.
It was not £350m per week. Part of it was a rebate from the EU.
We give them £X pa and they give some of it back. I can't be definite as to the figures but £350m is incorrect.'..then maybe that was what should have been painted on the side of the big red bus#justsaying.....

I read apart from Soubry there are a number of Tory MPs, one of whom reflected them all

“If they (the hard right loons) are threatening a leadership challenge, then this new leader will find himself in charge of a much smaller party, and will almost certainly crash the party.

lemon so you think we should not have called Marr out for her foul remarks??

lemon they aren’t my names, they are in common use all over the media, including MSM.

radicalnan- re:

'We are diminishing the pool of willing politicians by the constant demolishing of them as people, those will real ability and strength can earn more in different careers.'

I totally agree- and have said so- look at the thread about Corbyn and his mucous stained moustache. Surely, those standards should apply to both left and righ, and anywhere in between- re their looks or dress sense (or lack of) - and even worse, their disability. But we need to be able to comment, judge or criticise their actions and deeds, surely.

Gabriella, tell that to Lawson- Brexit is not any of his business as he lives in a Château in France- and others who have supported Brexit with millions of £ have bought EU membership in Malta and other places.

There are 100s of 100s of Brits who live abraod, and it is very much their business as well as yours- most pay their taxes in UK too, via their pensions.

She got my support to say what she thought on GN without being hounded ww nothing more.

Totally agree with you Lemon.

Blimey whitewave you do love your name calling, let’s see, Maybot, swivel eyed loons, Mogg the thug..... and many many more.

Actually I suppose you are as I remember Marr got your full support until she was banned for racial remarks.
