Farage

jura his programme will not be on once campaign proper starts. As to the fact he has the programme outside election periods several times a week, I think that feels wrong given he’s a party leader.

yes, it is rumour how many times do I have to say it??

The Daily Mail etc are past masters at it

Love it!
People in glass houses etc etc

True, jura

petra; with respect, I think you're mistaken....

Laibak I thought you were a relatively new poster?

Labaik You clearly Don’t know Baggs at all or you would know better than to post what you did.

Baggs would only defend the right of Farage to free speech( if she did defend him at all)
And is not interested in partisan party politics.

FA comment on Mr Nigel Fridge from the Daily Llama in today's Grauniad...
Farage is unfit to be a park keeper, let alone hold a political appointment such as MEP. A spiv, a populist, a racist, a Little Englander using the chimera of two world wars as some kind of rallying cry. The England he purports to believe in is a myth, a lie that he managed to sell the gullible and the left-behind. Like the Little Corporal in Germany in the 1930s he is a dangerous man - but unlike Adolph he has neither the power nor the real support of the people. The tide is turning against Trumpism and all the Orange Fool's cohorts including the two Brexit crooks Banks and Farage. Yesterdays Brexit march in London of a couple of dozen old white English people compares comically with the million plus that marched for Remain a few weeks back.From Mike Hardings facebook page; just about sums up what I think of him, too..

All his criticisms of those who swap parties......his private party is full of them. He plays his supporters for fools and they love it. If he stands against the Tories in brexitty places that will split the vote and he knows it but doesn’t care. Hypocrite supremo.

I would have thought he'd want his post as MEP to continue. Perhaps he just got fed up with the job and fancied a career change to Westminster. Heaven knows he's tried often enough.

So is he perhaps due for retirement now and doesn't care what happens to our membership? He'll get a hefty pension anyway I should think.

The problem with Farage is that he is a self publicist who’s only topic is Brexit - there is nothing else at all, single issue candidates do sometimes get elected but his comparison with Hitler is over the top.

Once Brexit is settled he will disappear, hopefully to the US, it would worry me more if the Tories offered him a safe seat and he became a Tory MP. I really don’t like extreme politics of the left or right because after a few years popularity wanes and the pendulum swings in the opposite direction

He announced this morning that he would not be a candidate in the general election. Perhaps after being rejected by the voters seven or eight times he has got the message.

Frit, for sure.

In the meantime, he is struggling to find suitable candidates for all constituencies. Some real ????? are coming to light- as in West Worthing:

''What a delight it is to discover that my local Brexit Party candidate is an Australian citizen, born in the United States, has been here since 2018 and who has never lived in the town.''

Maybe he doesn't actually want Brexit as it will continue to be a mess for years to come - plus he wouldn't have a job or anything to spout on about..

What has happened to all the money then?

Maybe he's had his teeth done and got a few new suits.

Farage leads a party in which the members have no say in making any of the parties policies. The leader of that party is the sole person who decides policy which makes for an organisation led by a Dictator.

Dictators do not open themselves up to democratic choice, hence the reason why Farage will not be standing for any consistency seat in the forthcoming General Election.

Farage is a Fascist in every sense of the word.

As far as we know the so-called "brexit party" has no members.

It has supporters who paid money but have no say in the policies, leadership or selection of candidates.

It is a private company and the only person who has a say is liar Farage. How stupid would you have to be to support this?

variant, I agree with your post @19:15 today and I stand to be corrected in my post @17:43 where I stated the Brexit party had members where I should have stated supporters.

However, when Fascist Farage launched his "so-called" party in January this year there were many on this forum who rallied to his support with some even stating they had made a paid subscription to the Farage organisation.

He has stated that the Brexit organisation will be standing candidates in every constituency in the forthcoming election, but of course, the exception will be Farage will not be one of those candidates.

That begs the question, should his organisation be elected to government, as it's leader Farage would not be open to being scrutinised by parliament.

Would we then see a "Puppet" Prime Minister appointed by the Farage, or would the first action by the Brexit Members in the House of Commons be to attempt a prorogue Parliament indefinitely so at to allow their leader to rule in his desired wish of a Fascist dictator?

Apologies, above post should state variant above and not variant.

Autocorrect again!

Did I hear aright that Farage has tried seven times to become an MP.
You’d have thought he would have got the message by now
Good riddance I feel.

variant = varian.
I will get it right at some point this evening. ??

hear, hear.

So what is he up to? He's organising candidates for a large number of constituencies and he doesn't have to be an MP himself. Should some of them end up in Westminster, their jobs become redundant once Brexit is triggered surely?

Are the Brexit Party MPs then going remain in Parliament for the full term and be passing judgement on issues about which they have no knowledge of/ or manifesto for?

Ginny42, well one thing is now clear, whatever the number of Brexit organisation MPs get elected to parliament (if any) following the forthcoming General Election they will have no leader. He has now "turned chicken" and run out of that incumbrance.

I am sure the above is much to the disappointment of those on this forum who have consistently sung his praises and even paid a subscription to his organisation.

Those forum members now seem to have fallen very quiet in this thread and others in regard to Farage.

Could it be that they now realise just what this excuse for a person and politician this man is? Could it be that they may begin to realise just what falsehoods and bull they have taken in by all who have fed them the lie that Brexit will be some kind of utopia that in reality just does not exist?

Could it be? ?
