Farage

Seeing an interview with Nigel Farage yesterday, I am beginning to think he is becoming a caricature of himself, gurning and writhing.

He is rapidly becoming a live Spitting Image character.

Thanks MOnica

Wera Hobhouse was born in Germany but is proud to be a British citizen and LibDem MP for Bath. She has done a great job and should be re-elected with an increased majority.

M0nica the gurning is probably the result of his long exposure to Earth's gravity! There's only one solution -send him back to Sirius along with the oher candidates.

I read that Brexit Party candidates - carefully chosen by that well known democrat -Farage, are expected to pay the deposit and pick up the tab for election expenses.

Where’s all the money gone?

One day those fooled into giving Farage money will understand what he has done with it and perhaps bring a case if fraud.

He will be long gone to the USA by then.

Thanks Nonnie - just goes to show I’m listening (and learning)!

trisher perhaps he's doing facial yoga in an attempt to stave off the wrinkles (see wrinkles thread)

I only do that in private (I think)

Oh if only he could do everything in private Callistemon the world would be such a better place.

Ah all is clear, or not?

NEW @Nigel_Farage says in Workington that the Brexit Party will not publish a manifesto.
He will issue "a contract with the British people - we will not call it a manifesto.
"Let the others call theirs manifestos nobody will believe a word they say." #GE2019

Will it explain how members/customers can democratically change leaders? Will anyone ever ask him?

So, the Leader of a 'party' which is actually a limited company- taking dodgy and illegal funding. A Leader who was not elected by anyone, and who cannot be voted out. A Leader who won't stand- and who now refuses to publish a Manifesto...

And who says that the EU is UNDEMOCRATIC - of the incredible IRONY.

Democracy à la Farage:

Don't forget the full name... THE BREXIT PARTY LIMITED Company Registration No.11694875. Only one director Nigel Paul FARAGE, who rather hilariously gives his occupation as Leader Of A Political Party.

Farage has been offered a peerage??? (reported in Mirror and by Alistair Campbell)

Hence the “pact”

God they really do take us for fools don’t they?

That is beyond disgraceful.

Fake news Labour must be getting desperate now and who can blame them with commie Corbyn as their leader.

Oh come on Firecracker123 do you really think he's just doing it because of some high principle and he's not going to get something out of it?

No firecracker it is you who is getting desperate if you are still defending this scoundrel. The Peerage offer has been reported in The Mirror, The New European and The Times. Farage has withdrawn candidates from standing in all constituencies because even by his barrel scraping standards, he must find it hard to find 600 mugs candidates prepared to pay their own way in order to enable him to claim victory. Corbyn is not a 'commie', and yes, I expect Labour, LibDems and every other party are getting desperate, and despairing, when not only are there dirty tricks afoot, no manifesto from either Brexit Party Ltd or the Tory party, but there are people daft enough to vote for they know not what.

He now says that he will only put candidates up in constituencies that do not have a Conservative MP.

The logic of that escapes me, only putting candidates up in constituencies with no Conservative MP will just split the Brexit vote in those constituencies making it less likely that the Conservatives will win them.

I suspect the real reason is a lack of candidates prepared to stand and a lack of cash, now that Aaron Banks is no longer funding Farage political parties, either UKIP or the Brexit party.

he has said he will only put up BPL candidates where there is not a standing Tory MP, thus avoiding splitting the Brexit vote. I agree about the reason though, he is a shyster and I truly am astonished at the amount of people who have been taken in by him. All of those people who sent him £100 to be 'considered' as candidates ( about 3000 of them), will they get a refund?

3,000? Good heavens did every member of the party want to stand?

The Communist Party of Britain embraces Comrade Corbyn.

Yes MOnica 3000 people sent £100 non refundable deposit to be 'considered' as candidates. Firecracker your silly comments contribute nothing to this discussion about Farage, or are you one of his acolytes? Did you send him money?

There are no BP members, just supporters. I’ve just heard the interview with Eddie Mair - he wouldn’t commit to refunding their money. I agree - he’s in the financial dodah.

Farage has lost Banks' support, and now owes a lot of people their £100 fees, no doubt he will wriggle out of it, ably aided by his followers who think he is some sort of messiah and 'the only honest bloke in British politics' . I suspect he will be cast aside soon when his apprentice, Richard Tice makes a push for leadership. Now, he is a frightening individual, once eloquently described as a good looking chap in an expensive suit who would charm a widow out of her life savings.

and been offered a peerage for his services

Ah, but Jura2 the noble Farage has turned it down. Allegedly.
