Farage; what a chancer and grifter!

Well you've taken enough notice to comment on them.

That's interesting.

Just don't expect anyone to take any notice of them ?

Why do you not counter-balance and tell us why they are so wonderful in your eyes? That would be interesting.

Hate? Well, yes, I hate what they stand for!

If anyone wants to get really riled he’s interviewing the uncle of Djokovic tonight on GB News ?

The BBC invited Farage onto "Any Questions?"on Friday.

Why do they keep giving this lying, hate-mongering chancer the oxygen of publicity?

The Brexit Broadcasting Corporation has a lot to answer for.

Still no answer about why Farage and the other wonderful examples of politics in our time should attract our admiration. Wonder why...

Come on, those of you who think that Farage, Trump, Johnson and Rees Mogg are so great! What is your problem?

Like him or loathe him, he does bring certain issues to the forefront though this whole Djokovic thing has gone a bit too far. He does believe passionately in his campaigns.

No he doesn’t. He’s an narcissistic opportunist who will jump on any bandwagon that will gain him some sort of attention. Of course, if it involves racism of some kind he would be more attracted to it. Horrible man.

....most megalomaniacs believe passionately in their campaigns...

I have more of a problem with the people who like/support Farage than I do with the shyster himself. As with Trump, it was not so much the man himself who scared me, more that fact that millions of people thought ( and some still do) that he was a great choice for president. The one thing that cheers me about Farage is that he hasn't been elected to Parliament, despite 7 attempts. Pathetic man.

That’s me then. The cap fits snugly. ?

I seem to remember some of you pledging money to support his campaign.

There you go- I proudly contributed again today to support the legal costs against Banks, one of his mates and supporters.

Each to their own eh Kali2?
Some people for example paid to support Corbyn ?

At least they had some integrity.

Why are people who can’t stand him so obsessed with him?
Fascinating.

... because he's in the news again?

Hardly an obsession.

Nothing to do with integrity growstuff just a difference of opinion. Your ‘mean girl’ slip continues to show. You just can’t help yourself can you?

Sorry, no, that does not wash.

We have many examples now and in the past, that support for some politicians are not just 'a difference of opinions', but support for abhorrent principles and actions. That is not mean, it is fact.

1933 for instance, just as one example. Was that about a 'difference of opinion'?

The exchange between Nigel Farage and Sir Andrew Murray:

Two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray replied to Mr Farage, telling him to 'record the awkward moment when you tell them you've spent most of your career campaigning to have people from Eastern Europe deported'.

Mr Farage has now hit back, telling Mr Murray: 'Dear Andy, you clearly don't understand politics or the Brexit campaign but are filled with prejudice. Concentrate on the tennis and, a word of advice, crack a smile every now and again.'

What, exactly, is Mr Farage's expertise in the field of tennis? He does seem muddled in his thinking, too, about what constitutes border control. There seems to be much that he doesn't understand, particularly the meaning of the word prejudice and perhaps he should concentrate harder.
A word of advice: Don't smile, you might frighten the ballboys and girls.

I have to ask - why has Farage got involved with the Djokovic controversy? It's not like he's going to meet the man himself.

Kandinsky

Fascinating.

Obsessed ? Who ? On GN he doesn’t often get a mention…no more than Corbyn for example !

Presumably he's shoved his oar in because he's anti-vaxx but he is shameless, with all his previous comments about Border controls and east europeans

Would it not make more sense for those of you who support those four to give a reasoned list of what it is you admire about them rather than the “we won’t take any notice” type of remark ? Just a thought.

So, Chestnut, how about providing a list of three GOOD things for each of the people mentioned. I can’t think of one. I could list three hateful and nasty comments for each of them, but I suspect under your extreme right-wing exterior, you don’t need to be told as you are perfectly aware of their failings.

It would for sure. But I hope you are very patient.

We are still waiting, and have been for, years actually- for a list of Brexit advantages.

All those you've mentioned are in the news (less so with Trump, but he's still visible in the media).

They are our politicians, movers and shakers, and they often / sometimes say things which are quite challenging.

Should we then just ignore what they say? Give them free rein - not challenge them in return?

Jeremy Corbyn is also in the news again (he's not my man BTW) and there's been some pretty nasty things said or implied about him from various quarters on social media. But you didn't include him in the list.

I personally am pretty critical of all of the above - including Corbyn. They often court controversy with the things they say and do, and the statements they make. I don't regard it as a "hate-fest" to point out the lies (when they are lying), or the provocative comments. They all need to be held to account because they are in positions of power and have a tremendous influence on the way people behave.

... and I will do the same if we ever end up with Starmer in power. We have a history in Britain of criticising our politicians, lampooning them in cartoons (PUNCH magazines), whichever party holds the seats. They are answerable to us and have to accept responsibility for their actions.

Just come back online and seen a few misguided comments here. Firstly, I am not extreme right wing or especially a supporter of any of the above. They have often got things wrong especially Trump. But I do find they are often misquoted or misunderstood by people who are blinded by hate. I don't tend to make venomous remarks about anyone, but that doesn't make me a supporter.
By the way, I did break into a hate-fest on Rees-Mogg the other day to point out something positive and good he had done, but was completely ignored! They just didn't want to hear it.

I watched the interview to understand why Farage has got involved. What was interesting was that he interviewed the ex Australian ambassador to the eu. He was 100% behind Djokovic.
He said ministers and bureaucrats had behaved stupidly and were in the wrong.

Puzzling if they didn't understand the rules that they themselves made.
Or perhaps they didn't - in the opinion of one of my Australian relatives, the PM has left decision making to the State Premiers so they all have different rules and no-one knows what's going on.
Result - chaos and Covid numbers rising rapidly.
