Farage hits back after Ed Davey warns against letting 'Trump's America' become 'Farage's Britain'

I just wish Ed Davey would stop all of his silly antics then I could take him more seriously.

I agree, but at least you noticed him - I think that was the idea.

Gosh, who to believe? Farage or the Parks department?

You are spot on there, Growstuff.
I am terrible at recognising faces, but Ed's antics, as cringe-worthy as I find them, mean that even I do now recognise him, and being recognisable must be quite important for any would-be political leader.

Farage has been to the US more times than he has been in his constituency, for a man who complained bitterly about foreign interference from the EU, he is certainly happy to encourage interference from Trump - and last time I looked the US is also a foreign country.
The man is full of hypocrisy.

Yes I know, he reminds me of an older BluePeter presenter, and I wouldn’t vote LibDem but he does strike me as passionate about what he believes in as a politician.
Trouble is if he did win the next election he’d probably parachute into Downing Street.

With James Bond, like the Queen?

I saw an item on the news, I think yesterday, about swans being injured. The man at the swan sanctuary said it was largely dogs that were responsible - owners allowing their dogs to go into areas where swans were present and the swans being savaged by them.

This is very true, we live near two parks with swans and every year cygnets are killed by dogs swimming in the water and parents injured by trying to protect their young.
Signs near the water clearly say to keep dogs on a leash near the water and not to allow them in the water but we have often seen those signs completely ignored.

Well done Sir Ed Davey. I like to see politicians standing up for what they believe in, and it’s time Farage got it back.

Ed Davey is a performing clown. How can anyone take him seriously? He has 70 odd MPs and has made no impact on this parliament.

Strange that he dodges questions about the Post Office scandal.

The Lib Dems would have sold their grannies for a seat at the top table. They did nothing to moderate the Tories during the coalition. Just another party who promise one thing and do the opposite.

I spoilt my ballot at the last GE and voted Green at a local level. I know several who are considering voting Reform. They feel they have little choice given Labour and Tories are both as useless as each other. I just don't believe any of them.

Not true*Marmardoit*. The LibDems introduced the Pupil Premium when in coalition. PP was worth £2.9 billion in 2023/4.

And the bedroom tax?

I’m not a Lib Dem supporter Mamardoit, but I think you are wrong. The Lib Dem’s are offering more effective challenge to government policy than any other party. You only have to watch PMQ to see that they are on top of the brief in most areas, and they are standing as one, apparently without the same loose canons as the other opposition parties have.

They did nothing to moderate the Tories during the coalition.

Didn't they?

How is Brexit going? Farage sold us a lie. You only have to travel to Europe to see the impediment being put in place for travel from a third country. Ask the voters of Clacton how well Farage is doing as their local MP? His excuse, security. The man is an apologist for unhinged Trump. Trump has ruined America's standing in the world, he is a joke in the office of President.

Agree. I will be voting LibDems in the next GE.

Farage living rent free in Ed Davey’s head.

Farage plays of people’s ignorance. He speaks in slogans and sound bites and relies upon a non questioning public. Scary.
As for the swans - a bit rich coming from Farage the fox hunting supporter. Every estate has staff looking out to catch illegal poachers - it’s nothing new for people to steal animals for food regardless of who they ‘belong’ to.

Farage never sets food in Clacton and has not improved the lives of people there. He isn’t interested at all. Why does anybody imagine he could run the country?

Didn't Farage say that asylum seekers were killing and eating swans? However would they manage that?

Can't imagine a swan would taste that good. Oily and tough, surely.

Swans were eaten by the nobility years ago, with cygnets specially fattened.for feasts, isn't that why they all have special protection by the Queen?

Or King, I still haven't got used to saying King.

The Spectator today has an article about this. It includes an interview with the RSPCA where they confirm that they have investigated migrants killing and eating swans for 15-years, many cases with video evidence.

They have also plundered our Carp supplies as, even with notices in multiple languages, they ignore our 'Catch and Release' laws. Carp is a delicacy in EEurope and especially so at Christmas and special times.

The article gives links to multiple articles in multiple national newspapers over many years about immigrants (mostly Eastern European) poaching and eating wild swans, ducks and geese (and carp)

Just because newspapers aren't reporting it now, doesn't mean it's untrue!!! (They didn't report the Rotherham child sex scandals either, until many years later, did they?).

You make it sound as though it's okay.
It isn't.
It's illegal

Swans can kill a man with those wings, so I should'nt think it likly.
