Ooh baggs are you actually a Brexit supporter, or just happen to choose to comment on this thread whilst ignoring all the other political threads?

Baggs Fri 01-Nov-19 21:00:53

Yes, quite, witzend. If it's interfering, then Obama did it too. We might as well accept that the chattering classes, especially those with political clout, whichever political flavour they espouse, simply must talk about whatever catches their attention.

We could just ignore them.

Wasn't aware I'd ever defended Farage, labaik. Evidence, please.

The phrase "it is rumoured that..." means that nobody knows anything substantive. Certainly nobody on this thread anyhow. That is all my comment meant. It's called philosphical scepticism. Healthy stuff.

Much as I dislike him, it's not just Trump. Obama saw fit to stick his oar in before the referendum, telling us how we ought to vote.
I'm not sure they'd appreciate us doing the same before their elections.

Are you defending Farage yet again Baggs?

Indeed- the irony is just beyond the beyond. Same as his 48/52 comment.

This 2016 Nigel Farage soundbite about presidential interference hasn't aged well
"the American President getting involved in UK politics is a "monstrous interference". Oh, but that was in 2016.

Farage has trousered a lot of money from a lot of gullible people since he started his company with no accountability whatsoever.

It is rumoured that he has squirrelled the money away and it isn’t available to fund candidates standing for his company.

Q. Can a company stand in a political election?
