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 Farage has withdrawn candidates from standing in all constituencies because even by his barrel scraping standards, he must find it hard to find 600 mugs candidates prepared to pay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.
