Where is Nigel Farage?

Have to say tbf I haven’t ever heard Nigel Farage say racist things, or xenophobic either.Isn’t his wife German?
Yeah he says things about too much immigration and wants, as millions of us do , including the Labour government, something done to stop the boats.

I believe it seems unpleasant to you because you don’t agree with what people say, rather than because it actually is hateful Chestnut. You have to accept that many people dislike his views and just as you called Angela Rayner ‘uncouth and hobby’ you will hear things about Farage that you don’t agree with.

Sorry, gobby not hobby.

No, his second wife is/was German, they are separated and his current squeeze is Laure Ferrari who I believe is French.

That's it, in a nutshell.

As for me, I don't post personal comments about an individual politician's appearance because I think that's below the belt - however much I might dislike them.

... and, it is dislike - not hatred, the two are quite different.

I would like to see both Trump and Farage disappear from the political scene, just quietly retire into the background. I didn't rejoice when Farage was injured in that light aircraft crash, nor when Trump was hit by the would-be assassin's bullet. That would be hatred.

But I loathe what they stand for. As they are both at the moment very much in the public eye via the media, what they say (and do) is as far as I am concerned up for discussion, and opposition. Or perhaps they should be free to say and do whatever they wish and we critics remain silent?

As a woman, I am going to challenge both of these men.

Trump took the credit for overturning Roe v Wade. "For 54 years they were trying to get Roe v. Wade terminated, and I did it. And I'm proud to have done it.". The reality is of course that the Supreme Court made the actual decision - Trump appointed the justices who made that decision.

Farage has championed the self-proclaimed misogynist, Andrew Tate, as a role model for young men.

I believe both of these men, Trump and Farage, are a danger to the hard-fought-for rights of women. In fact, I believe they both hold women - especially those with an opinion - in low esteem.

So I shall continue to comment.

This should be interesting, but I suspect he will drag his feet.

‘Farage made a last-minute decision to run as an MP. He may not have been aware, when he did, that the parliamentary authorities require him to account for “registerable benefits – other than earnings – received in the 12 months BEFORE their election”.’

Sorry, what? When did I ever call Angela Raynor uncouth and gobby, or anything else for that matter?

You have just made that up to create division and someone has already taken the bait by agreeing with you.

And I don't find the comments hateful because I disagree with them. I have seen many genuinely hateful comments on various people, but especially Farage, and I don't like any of them. None of your post is true, stop putting words or thoughts into my mouth.

I don’t lie Chestnut. I wouldn’t not quote something you didn’t actually say. I told you my interpretation, you don’t agree, which is of course fine.

I’m happy to be hateful about Farage actually because I think being hateful to intentional and unrepentant racists is absolutely justified.

Well strike me down. I apologise, but in my defence I never said she was uncouth and gobby, or even that I thought she was, I said she comes across as uncouth and gobby, which is not quite the same thing. And if that is the worst thing I've ever said about anyone then I probably deserve a halo compared to the many other vicious attacks on politicians.

However, you have still put words in my mouth by posting what I am thinking which is not true at all.

Frankly, I'm astonished that you have the time and inclination to search for a comment I made nearly three years ago! That says it all really. A very vengeful thing to do, something I would never even think of. And to think you had to go back three years to find something which would fit your argument! 😂😂😂

It’s not a pleasant thing to do is it? So determined to be right I can only guess.I wouldn’t do this, for sure.

I did it because I remembered the comment. I’m blessed with a good memory. It took approximately 10 seconds to type in Chestnut Rayner to the Gransnet search engine. Sorry if it brought home to Chestnut that the pot was calling the kettle black. Whether you think it was a pleasant thing to do or not doesn’t matter, it is a fact that she said it - and there is more if you search, again it would take 10 seconds if you remember the words used.

But, it was growstuff not you who found it and posted it, so you’re claiming it as you when you don’t need to.Odd.🤔

I'm really pleased you haven't wasted too much of your life searching for things I said years ago! 😂😂😂

Especially as it doesn't actually prove anything because I didn't call AR uncouth and gobby. You have twisted what I said.

End of conversation.

Yes u pleasant but the result of much unpleasantness on the forum recently.

I’m never happy to be hateful about anyone, we’re all different of course.

Unpleasant and childish, what a combination.

Back to Nigel Farage anyone?

He reckons that quite a few Conservative MP’s will join Reform over the coming year, will be interesting to see if that comes true.

Nigel Farage has just made his maiden speech in the House…..

Yes, Farage made his maiden speech at 15:11. Ten minutes banging on about immigration, criticising former members no longer in the HoC. He ended by calling for a referendum to leave the European Court of Human Rights in order to deport people. Total silence other than from other Reform MPs.

I can remember things that people said many years ago, especially if I think the comment is wrong and I totally disagree with it.
