Will Nigel Farage be Corbyn's nemesis?

GabriellaG54 The toys were "weebles" The slogan we wobble but won't fall down!!! Also available as bath toys.

We loved Weebles and so do my GCs!
As for Farage does anyone really believe this man, who pretended to be a man of the people, but was educated at a public school where he became a supporter of Enoch Powell. who is anti the EU, but of his 4 children 2 are entitled to Irish passports, and 2 to German passports (so no worries about leaving for them). It's amazing how many people fell for this duplicitous, self-aggrandising, con man!

I agree with merlotgran - I don't like NF but I respect the fact that he is clear & precise in his views and actually answers the questions put to him - compare this with Corbyn's answers on Brexit - "everything's on the table"

So it's OK to take a salary from an organisation you don't believe in- that's being clear and honest is it? It's easy to answer questions when you know there is B*** all chance of ever having to put anything you say into practice.

Many years ago, too many for some to remember, there was a certain bath you, a little round character which, no matter how many times you pushed him under the water, always bobbed up again
In that regard, NF and I have some similarity.

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!

Describes NF very well indeed.
And, of course, several others.

Sorry folks.
Weebles were much later.
I was talking about my own childhood and the years 1949-53. It was a basic celluloid sphere with a spherical head and painted features.

Oh Weebles bring back memories of DSiL trying to explain the weight distribution of a ship and why these massive, top heavy cruise liners don't topple over and sink.

He demonstrated with a weeble in a washing up bowl.

After the second bottle of wine I think I got it.

I see in todays press mr MOGG is best pals with Farage and wants him to join the Tories....I shall add that to my very...very long list of reasons why NOT to join the tories .

Ugh what a revolting thought! Could be a thread- Who wouldn't you want to have to dinner, or what combinations of people could you manage to host before you finally threw up!!!

Are you actually an adult trisher or a 5yr old trapsing round in your mum's high heels?

We can do without reds in the blue sector.

At least I haven't had a sense of humour extraction GabriellaG54 , funny what age does to some people!

What on Earth has that got to do with anything?

Only one good reason is needed, if it's good enough.
Only closed minded people completely and irrevocably rule out changing their minds.

Another quote from the calendar GabriellaG?
We used to have a member who posted one such bon mot per day

Yes indeed. Aging from birth and I'm not 'some people'.
Dinner party conversations be at pre- school ' tittering' level in your area.

* must be

Yes indeed. Aging from birth and I'm not 'some people ‘
Dinner party conversations be at pre- school ' tittering' level in your area

“Ageing”?
What on earth does your second sentence mean too?
Which area would that be I wonder?

Only closed minded people completely and irrevocably rule out changing their minds.
Many people are under the mistaken impression that the first person who says "You're just being closed-minded" in a debate is automatically the winner; frequently, the first person who says this has simply run out of facts.
It isn't closed-minded to have principles is it? Or to prefer to eat in congenial company?

I do hope GG54 that you have not irrevocably ruled out changing your mind because your mind most ceratainly needs changing.

Are you a SW or mental health professional?
If so, you can give me some free advice.
I'm very content not to be the same as the herd, to not have the herd mentality.
I value my independent train of thought and the fact that I don't need to have my views confirmed or applauded by anyone else in order to feel good.
I need no chorus of approbation.
Obviously, it works for me as I have no financial worries or health issues whatsoever and my home, family and social lives are as lively and interesting as I want to make them.
I wish you well.

GabriellaG you appear to have come up with some frame of mind of your own invention and are arguing against it.

Empty room and argument spring to mind.
However if justifying yourself makes you happy, so be it.
(Nobody else is bothered)

An MEP has been applauded both in the European Parliament and on social media for exposing Nigel Farage’s hypocrisy over Brexit - and for doing what many British politicians have failed to do.

Dutch MEP Esther de Lange was posing a question to Angela Merkel when she first announced she had to get something off her chest before she asked her question. De Lange told the Parliament not to “take his grandstanding too seriously”.

Pointing to the former UKIP leader, she told those in Strasbourg: “This is a man who led his party and country to the Brexit vote – only the next day to admit he lied and tricked and jumped his ship and left his party.”
