I know this is shallow but you’ve got to laugh?

I will allow that he was very clever at manipulating the news and presenting himself as a good, plain speaking man of the people, standing in/outside pubs with a pint in his hand. But now he seems to have lost even that ability and is desperately trying to be another Trump. Just when you think he can't sink any lower.....

Farage fans are welcome to push back.
We'll try hard to hear you but I guess there will be very few voices and a fairly weak chorus of protest!
Hideous teeth, hideous hair, hideous philosophy, hideous man!

Because you don't like NF you delight in mocking him. Simple.

The hair mishap is unfortunate (yuk!) but that isn't why you're doing it. That's just the excuse.

And I sense an implied assumption that every one must hate him and that there's virtue to be signalled in lining up with the hate mob.

Those of us who dont feel the same could push back equally viciously....but we don't. Funny that.

Quizqueen my sentiments exactly

lilypollen Fri 29-Jun-18 18:15:56

I think he's a smoker hence the black teeth muffinthemoo. To be honest that offends me far more than sartorial disaster!

BlueBelle Fri 29-Jun-18 18:11:14

Oh by the way he’s red because he drinks heavily

BlueBelle Fri 29-Jun-18 18:09:52

Mawboon I so agree.... Farage and sense do not go in the same sentence He is an apology of a man and if he was so patriotic why does he draw EU money have foreign wives and live in Europe much of his time Bah humbug

trisher Fri 29-Jun-18 17:08:42

It's awful andif he HAD to do it surely he could have found someone who could make a better job of it. (Or is he just mean and relied on some diy spray in stuff)

peaseblossom, this is a light hearted thread, despite a few people being a bit po faced, but seriously? Farage has nobody's interest but his own at heart, wants what's best for himself, and will be disappearing off into the sunset to spend his huge EU pension without a backward glance to the UK, don't kid yourself. But, back to the thread; he puts himself out there, he is broad shouldered enough to take the laughs at his hair, and yes, I colour mine (not blonde), but I do not set myself up to tell others how to vote, do not lie, and would never get into a lift with Trump! Nice photo Mawbroon. grin

PageTurner Fri 29-Jun-18 16:57:55

A very nice photo of you MawBroon. Your silver hair is beautiful ?

MawBroon Fri 29-Jun-18 16:35:01

Oh dear Peaseblossom, you are of course entitled to your opinion, but I fear Farage has only his own interests at heart hmm

Overthehills Fri 29-Jun-18 16:26:55

Maw - you’re exactly as I imagined you! Lovely photo.

Peaseblossom Fri 29-Jun-18 16:13:18

GillT57. Totally disagree. He’s the only politician who makes any sense. He's patriotic, unlike most of the others. He wants what’s best for Great Britain.

Peaseblossom Fri 29-Jun-18 16:05:43

It’s obviously because the photo is the wrong colour, because his face is very red too, so it’s not true to life.

DanniRae Fri 29-Jun-18 14:56:01

It was so nice to see a photo of you Mawbroon - now I know what you look like when I read your posts. Lovely photo by the way grin

Wheniwasyourage Fri 29-Jun-18 14:53:53

I feel free to say, quizqueen, that I think he looks really silly (even sillier than before), and that I too, like BlueBelle, would be happy to say it to his silly face.

And by the way, not that I think it is relevant, I have never dyed my hair.

pollyperkins Fri 29-Jun-18 14:46:59

Lovely photo Maw!

Riverwalk Fri 29-Jun-18 14:05:45

Yes, Mawbroon you shameless bottle-blonde fake! grin

Grandma70s Fri 29-Jun-18 13:59:24

Is that photo of you, Mawbroon? You look really nice. Love the bookcase and the cardigan/jacket/whatever it is.

Riverwalk Fri 29-Jun-18 13:52:16

Harsh words Quizqueen - you must be a Nige devotee!

Don't take it personally - I'm sure he's thicker-skinned. May & Corbyn get loads of personal stick on here. He's a politician (of sorts) and fair game.

BlueBelle Fri 29-Jun-18 13:31:19

Every time I see his smarmy smirky face I want to hit him and I m a peace lover and you know what I m not talking about him behind his back because I d totally say it to his face if I got the opportunity and you know what if I did he would smirk all the more and the arrogant sod wouldn’t worry in the least

MawBroon Fri 29-Jun-18 13:23:27

Oo-er a Farage fan?
Speak for yourself quizqueen

quizqueen Fri 29-Jun-18 13:05:23

Nigel can do whatever he likes with his hair. It's no one else's business. Perhaps some of you should take a long hard look at your own bottle blond locks and see how fake it looks!

marionk Fri 29-Jun-18 12:30:36

Think he might have been TRUMPed ??

Lyndie Fri 29-Jun-18 12:26:35

I would also fight for people’s freedom of speech.
