The Brexit Party

Precisely maize and maw ?

The similarity is striking if you modernize Mosley’s sentiments.

The problem though is we have no war looming and so Farage is not seen as such a threat at the moment. Give him time.

Gutted now I can't join that Movement thingy.

They don't even seem to need modernising, Whitewave. I can't find a transcript of any of NF's speeches but what I've seen reported (and I've looked at right wing sites for this) sounds strikingly similar.

It is all gradually converging. Farage must be thrilled

* Elvive* there’s always Tommy Robinson ??

Remainers seem to spend an disproportionate amount of time talking about Brexiteers in general and NF in particular.
I wonder why this is, when they hate dislike him so much and pour scorn on those who want out.
We really must be rattling their cage.

Bit worried about whoever said they have seen all the NF rallies on YouTube. Have they watched any other party rallies? Seems very sycophantic to me and hardly balanced.

I went to a Roy Jenkins rally once in my innocent days. I didn't realise they were for the already converted and asked him a difficult question. He had a tantrum! I now realise he had expected everyone there to be a supporter.

As the donation was made in my name only, the name of my OH and colleague will not appear.

Isn't it hustings where politicians expect to be challenged?

Thanks for the heads up re donation gg54 useful.

Sounds like a tax dodge GG

Remainers seem to spend an disproportionate amount of time talking about Brexiteers in general and NF in particular.

Well, it makes a refreshing change from arguing the toss about whether the the EU is an Evil Empire or a perfectly benign institution.

EU is not 'perfectly' anything but that is not a reason to leave it. Why is everyone 'against' things and no one promoting what is good and what we will lose?

I’m not sure who is in a “cage” but no doubt anti intellectual, no time for experts, nationalist extremists would like to put any opposition into one. Yes, populism and fascism are frightening to anyone with half a brain, and should be challenged.

Que sera sera...???

Far right and far left are equally frightening.

I find momentum equally frightening

maw what’s the difference between a tax dodge and money laundering?

Not a lot!

Didn’t think so.

Anyone for tennis? ?

It was a good game. I practised my forehand and backhand.

I found this an interesting ten minute talk by David Goodhart on R4 democracy and populism.

Donations to political parties are not tax deductible.

Oh no, is somebody telling a wee story?

My thoughts too, Elvive.
