Orban is also in attendance.

The police are allowing no one else to enter the premises.

Listening to Farage there is a worrying paper-thin line between his rhetoric and 1930s propaganda.

No wonder the authorities are worried.

This is a disgrace, Nigel Farage is NOT far right, they just want people to believe he is - as usual, if views don't fit the narrative you get banned - this is against Democracy and another attack on free speech. There is nothing to fear from Nigel, he believes in free speech and our country having it's own rules.

Only person who speaks common sense!

"Does Farage get an EU pension?
The Brexit divorce bill includes pensions for UK MEPs. Nigel Farage will receive £73,000 a year pension, free private healthcare for his whole family for life plus a £157,000 golden handshake. He doesn't want the UK to pay the EU, but appears to be happy for the EU to pay him."

Also: "Farage has continued to have fees paid to him via a limited company, Thorn in the Side Ltd." (Farrage's media company

So what, he worked bloody hard on brexit so why should he not take his pension, deserves it.

The left have gone so far left that anybody right of centre is deemed to be far right these days and racist. Are you seriously comparing Nigel farage to people like Hitler? I can assure you I know my arse from my elbow.

Still awaiting an update on what the country havinng its own rules would look like please?

I suppose it would be pretty much like most other countries in the world. Australia, New Zealand, America etc but they all have their own laws so really not quite sure what you’re asking.

But it’s like someone working for the Bank of England and devoting all their time and effort to destroying the economy. And then being rewarded for it. Imo

mt61,
spot on!

Wait till the religious lot take over, then there will be no free speech then.
Something about regretting at leisure!

We have our own don't we? At least we did last time I looked?

My local C of E rector is a nice person and religious. I suppose she is secretly planning to take over this corner of the UK possibly?

Perhaps it is the Hindu religious lot, our PM is a Hindu - I expect he is in league with Modi to take over the U.K.?

I wouldn’t mind - as a humanist - their deities seem very colourful with elephant trunks and lots of arms - much more fun than the Christian, Jewish or Islamic deities.
