and rake it in due to the £ tanking?

Perhaps he will go back to his old job in the City as a commodities trader?

jura2 Mon 22-Jan-18 09:21:06

do you think he might come back?

Farage was UKIP. He was the only one who managed to lead the party. It’s dead in the water now.

UKIP are definitely toast now. They’ve had 5 leaders in 18 months, they’ve shown themselves to be a bunch of unreliable ego driven charlatans. I’ve read that the current ( not for long) leader’s 3rd wife and children live in Austria! What a great legacy Nige.

UKIP should call it a day. They've had their time.

Wives and mistresses seem to go with the job.

I now will always call him idle Nigel. I can’t believe he’s only 53, he looks at least 10years older , must be all the wives and mistresses. ( shallow? Moi? )

Perhaps someone from GN will raise to the task ;)

Farage was a biggish fish in a very small pond ( Ukip) and doesn't like being a nobody. I wonder who the next leader of that pointless party might be? Could it be Farage?

Same as he was always up to ,stirring people up then sitting back & enjoying the chaos he created!!!!'m

I know- as said, couldn't help it ...

I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him for sure...

I was talking about his salary, jura, no idea what you are talking about.
Mind you, Farage did the same, didn't he, so perhaps that, too....

jura2 Sun 21-Jan-18 18:13:03

Perhaps a punishment that would be fit for Bolton ;) (ooops sorry just couldn't help it - but if I was hiw wife- 2 kids in quick succession, late 30s and early 40s - and straight to a mistress 20+ years younger) - but I digress...

Half of it docked, Cold. There is some justice in the world.

Cold Sun 21-Jan-18 17:57:04

He still sits in the European Parliament as an MEP - I remember reading a week or so ago that he had had part of his salary docked for claiming for staff who were not carrying out European Parliament work.

jura2 Sun 21-Jan-18 17:21:05

Since posting, just seen there was a voteof no confidence in Bolton today ...

jura2 Sun 21-Jan-18 17:12:31

any thoughts?
