What do we think of Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party?

I see Farage is busy backtracking and trying to find excuses for regularly appearing on a neo-Nazi tv programme in USA which is largely known for its fascist rhetoric.

Don’t worry Nige. Most of your supporters have their fingers in their ears. They refuse to understand the implication of your actions. Or perhaps a fascist state is what they want.

That is such irresponsible voting.

I've no idea why posters, who disagree with everything and everyone who has anything to do with or say about Brexit, continue to disparage them or him. After all, we each have our views and staunch remainers are never going to become leavers or vice versa so why waste their time on rubbishing opposing views? Not enough to do?

A candidate for Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party has responded to criticism from the father of a schoolboy killed in an IRA bombing condemned her “absolutely disgraceful” past views about the terrorist group.

Claire Fox, now a candidate for the European Parliament, was a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), that defended the deadly bomb attack in Warrington on 20 March, 1993.

Three-year-old Johnathan Ball was killed by the blast and Tim Parry, 12, died in his father Colin's arms five days later in Liverpool’s Walton Hospital. Another 56 were injured.

Mr Parry OBE, said Ms Fox should explain her “comments”, referring to the viewpoint published by her RCP party at the time.

He said: “What she said at that time is highly inappropriate. For somebody to come out with comments I believe she made, and being an apologist for the IRA is absolutely disgraceful. If this woman would care to explain her comments back at that time to me and my wife, I would like her to do so. She should disavow these comments if that’s her position and say, ‘I was wrong, I was foolish.’”

The so-called brexit party has some very unsavoury characters apart from Farage. Ms Fox, an ex-communist apologist for the IRA has now swung very far to the right and is a great favourite of the Brexit Broadcasting Corporation.

GG how come you’ve never made that comment about the JC critics? I have no idea?

Having had Farages latest rally pop up on my screen [I've managed to unfollow him now thank goodness] I can't believe the comments from his followers. Nigel we love you etc etc. There's something frighteningly evangelical about it all. It really frightens me.

He's a one man band. You can't join the Brexit Party and it totally undemocratic. Still the "low grade people" ( Nigel's words not mine) who vote for him won't care, he's given a sheen to xenophobia that has become acceptable.

Have you noticed how completely silent the BP supporters on here have gone re the issue of no members allowed? Can you imagine their ranting if a left wing Remain supporting new party had behaved like this?

Its not about Leavers or Remainers. Both make good points. It's about a xenophobic opportunist. The breaking point poster was described here as designed to stoke fears about immigration.
This is somehow to be forgiven and forgotten as NF sees the disenchantment and apathy of the electorate and makes his move ( accompanied by his raggle taggle band of has beens and criminals)

Why did I get this leaflet addressed to me in the post?

varian that is a good point, about the former Communist
Claire Fox, we don’t want an apologist for the IRA in any
Kind of political power.........which is also why so many people don’t want Corbyn.

Both main parties have shown they are not fit to govern or even make any sort of decision. One thing I can say about May she is right when she says all MP's in parliament have said what they don't want but not what they do.

The parties can't decide amongst themselves, let alone decide as a parliament. They had their instruction from the people, to leave the EU the fact they have spent 3yrs talking around it but not doing it and trying to find ways to keep us in, ignoring the vote, petitions, protests and this last local elections shows the people have no choice but to get rid of both parties.

The MEP elections will be start, GE will follow and the lot will be out!

They did NOT have their instruction from the people. The people were not empowered to instruct parliament, only to advise. If that fraudulent referendum had been mandatory a super-majority would have been required (not only 37% of the elctorate) and the numerous proven malpractices would have invalidate it.

I voted to leave the EU, as I have stated frequently on this forum.

I am not a Farage Fan Gran!!!!, but what a lot of people fail to understand is that so many of the electorate are feeling disenfranchised by the main stream parties, including the Lib Dems, who gave up their principals to get into bed with the Tories!!!

The Brexit Party will in my opinion pick up a lot of protest votes which in turn will send numerous of their MEPs to Brussels, regardless of their credentials.

A weird place for either 1) the toilet roll holder or 2) the flushing mechanism.
Mind you, IMO it's entirely appropriate to have that leaflet where it is as he's on a roll and flushed with success. ??

Labaik
frighteningly evangelical Oh Jeramy Corbyn ??? obviously passed you by.

lemomgrove
which is also why so many people don't want Corbyn
Boom ??

Petra you have forgotten the "golden rule" here on GN you cannot say anything gainst St.Jeremy........

Pathetic post GG absolutely pathetic and completely incorrect. Not remotely amusing either. You usually do better than this.

sorry maryeliza54 it was not my intention to be pathetic, just to point out that there are certain Gransnetters who will not have a bad word said about JC.

Whereas I am a Tory and can quite see why TM and her cohorts get picked on.

I think that suits JC quite well, wish I had thought of it.

Not a pathetic post At All .

He’ll be taking us all down the pan.

petra; can I point out that this is a thread about Farage and that is what I am talking about. However I must also point out that I am no fan of Corbyn either but have never seen the sort of stomach churning adulation on social media about him that I see for Farage.

That just proves how popular Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party are, nearly 90,000 paid up supporters in just 4 weeks. Big changes coming.

Also packed rallies, nearly 1,800 at Peterborough yesterday.

He makes me feel physically sick....
