Not fit for public office, never mind PM. NOT the way to behave in front of international press. Of course, NOT reported in the UK.

I'm being derogatory am I? What about the ops title calling Boris a nutter and in another post someone calling him nutty as a fruit case.
No one as yet has answered my previous question. Are the majority on this thread remainers? ( remoaners)
Yes I am one of the majority who voted to leave the EU and should Boris take us out on 31st October he will have achieved the will of the people.
None in my opinion in either the Tory or Labour Party are good enough to be elected to be our next prime minister in the next general election.
My vote will be going to Nigel Farage. A man, in my opinion, with a back bone and not afraid to say what he thinks.
Now that's just stirred a hornet's nest. wink

Yawn....

Labaik Wed 11-Sept-19 15:47:28

...and what is your solution to the Irish problem?

SirChenjin Wed 11-Sept-19 15:50:28

My vote will be going to Nigel Farage

That comes as no surprise - really.

Bridgeit Wed 11-Sept-19 15:52:32

NF is not afraid to say what he thinks , because he knows he will never be called upon to fulfil his suggestions/ promises.

humptydumpty Wed 11-Sept-19 15:56:54

yet again sharon you're in the majority who voted, not the majority of the population...

absthame Wed 11-Sept-19 16:01:16

Farage, I'm afraid, is the present day representation of Halifax or Mosely. However Churchill nor Atlee are present to see the duplicitous toad off. Why does he not wear black I wonder? confusedconfused. gringrin

Lessismore Wed 11-Sept-19 16:04:44

Please use proper terminology instead of the somewhat childish " remoaner".

Lessismore Wed 11-Sept-19 16:05:22

What do you admire about Nf and his policies please?

GillT57 Wed 11-Sept-19 16:06:28

sorry to shatter your dreams Sharon, but your beloved Farage has tried and failed to be elected to Parliament 7 times. His last attempt was in Thanet, which is a strong Brexit voting area, with over 64% voting out in the referendum. Would you like to explain that to me, an old remoaner?

Lessismore Wed 11-Sept-19 16:07:47

Ah, Gill, that was before he teamed up with the talent that is Widdy.

SirChenjin Wed 11-Sept-19 16:09:47

Which means you can make that 8 times.

sharon103 Wed 11-Sept-19 16:18:20

Yes humptydumpty, I guess the rest of the population didn't care. It may have been a different result if the rest had bothered to vote. The same can be said for a general election but I always say if one doesn't care to vote then don't moan about the elected party.
Labaik I confess to not knowing the answer to that one. But that's not my job.
My question is still not answered.

SirChenjin Wed 11-Sept-19 16:20:24

Can you answer Lessismore's question sharon?

Re the Irish backstop - given it's key to the whole Brexit shambles, you must have an opinion at least.

GillT57 Wed 11-Sept-19 16:25:07

Yes come on Sharon, what would you and Nigel do about the Irish backstop? Assuming he ever gets elected, ( see my question above which you failed to acknowledge).

Lessismore I find your post of17.05.33 absolutely disgusting.

I thought of reporting it, but decided not to so that others could see it and judge for themselves!!

SirChenjin Wed 11-Sept-19 17:26:35

She’s only saying what many of us think about Farage and his ilk. His party and his associates aren’t exactly known for their inclusive, multicultural views.

crystaltipps Wed 11-Sept-19 17:27:21

Well some people on here have said that they want to keep the country white, which is why they voted leave, but I expect most that do think that way know it’s unacceptable ( plus ridiculous if you think about it) so voting for Farage is a way to demonstrate those thoughts without actually saying them.

Gonegirl Wed 11-Sept-19 17:32:02

I don't think that is actually Lessismore's personal opinion.She's just saying what she thinks others mean.

Forgott the quote marks there Lessismore. hmm

GrannyGravy13 Wed 11-Sept-19 17:38:03

Gonegirl I know that she was alluding to how leave voters think, what Lessismore posted, is still a "very ugly, racist post"

SirChenjin Wed 11-Sept-19 17:41:00

No, not Leavers - Farage voters. I imagine most Leavers wouldn’t want the 2 conflated, but perhaps you know differently?

GrannyGravy13 Wed 11-Sept-19 17:44:13

SirChenjin, semantics.......how many remain voters would vote for NF?

For the record I am not a "Farage Fan"

Labaik Wed 11-Sept-19 17:45:39

I think sharon wants us all to tell her how we voted. Therefore, sharon; I voted remain. So can you now tell us your solution to the Irish problem which you must have an opinion of or you would surely have been another undecided who didn't vote. And we're constantly being told that leave voters 'knew what they were voting for'.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 11-Sept-19 17:45:59

Johnson lied to parliament

An impeachable offence
