trisher that is possibly too ghastly to contemplate

It was claimed on twitter that he was being crowdfunded...

Indeed WWavemark2. Has anyone asked where his funding comes from? Shall do a quick google.

It's quite simple his first policy will be to identify a section of the population that he can blame for all the economic problems that Brexit will bring. He will then place restrictions on those people, at first quite innocuous ones but they will become increasingly restrictive. He will then make a ridiculous promise to all working people (deposit on houses, cheap car, something like that). Then he will identify a terrorist threat and move the targetted group (most likely Muslims) to a secure location........ and so it begins.

You have to ask where Farage is getting his funding.

Then ask in whose interests is he operating?

Unless you actively support a fascist agenda, why would you support Farage?

Whitewavemark2 truly terrifying as this country sleepwalks into this disaster. It is starting to develop like the 1920 and 1930 period with the rise of nationalism and division within nations. Meanwhile, the poorer get poorer and blamed for it happening, and the rich get richer.

wobbles his friend the white supremiscist Steve Bannon, who masterminded Trumps election, is now intent on destroying the EU by uniting the fascists throughout Europe.

This of course would suit Trump very well as he seriously objects to an economic force which is strong enough to stand against him.

One of those policies Farage will adopt will be to join “The Movement” as it has be labelled.

His only policy is to cause chaos and disrupt the EU in their process.

I think the Brexit Party will pick up a lot of disgruntled voters in the European Elections, but doubt very much if they will/would get many in the next General Election.

I find it terrifying that so many people are so obsessed with getting out of the EU that they will vote for Farage and Anne Widdicombe and other assorted folk with absolutely no idea of their policies on education/health/defence/transport........etc., etc. It is akin to buying a house without knowing how many bedrooms it has, whether it is connected to services; are people so desperate that they will take this leap in the dark? As for voting for UKIP, I would seriously judge anyone who voted for that collection of fascists, racists, homophobes and downright malicious fools. When we see yet another one outed for some outrageous comment or act, I wonder just what the ones who fail the selection process are like given the unpleasantness of those that passed the process.

I also think that one of his first policies will be to reunite with UKIP.

Whitewavemark2 Sun 28-Apr-19 11:41:36

This is one of my ideas copied from another thread

UKIP began to get too toxic (fascist, nationalistic etc) for many of the ordinary punter to stomach. Farage recognised this, even though his friends of choice are white supremiscists and neo-Nazis, changed strategy and denied UKIP. He started a one man party without anyone having the first clue of his intended policies. However if I was a punter my money would definately be on privatising the NHS to start with. That would be the safest bet I will have ever made.

It occurred to me when answering a post on the Brexit MEP thread, that we (no one) has a clue what Farage policies will be if he actually achieves the nightmare of getting into power.

I am wondering if anyone has any theories of what his policies might be
