Farage's £5 million

So CarS if the £5 million is for security, why hasn’t Farage held a single surgery in his constituency … citing ^security concerns^🤔

Both things can’t be true.

If he’s got £5 million to pay for security, that should easily cover regular surgeries … to which his constituents are entitled.

Surely you’re ok with that🤷‍♀️

I thought NF just said what most of us think. Whereas 2TK was his usual unemotional dead-behind-the-eyes self.

(I can't ever see him without remembering the awful photo of him 'taking the knee' after the death of the American drug addict and serial offender)
.

I feel the same about that photo of him taking the knee. Just a publicity stunt imo.

CarS we have yet to have concrete evidence of any attempts on his life! Nothing reported to the police or security whereas my own MP ( female) has had to deal with horrific abuse by certain elements of our population!
Nobody on this forum should ever stand up for Farage and his lack of respect for Henry and his family. At least he got his comeuppance at PMQ yesterday.

So very obvious the US cranks, Musk and Trump, are behind everything Farage is doing. Them and their money men trying to become even richer crypto billionaires.
How anybody thinks Farage speaks for, or acts for, anybody but himself is beyond me. He really can only feed off the under educated who cannot see beyond his sound bites.

I feel Trump is approaching the crash and burn stage as he moves towards the mid term elections.

I am fervently hoping Farage will reach his crash and burn stage by the time the next UK GE comes round in three years time.

I live in hope LemonJam🤞🤞🤞

I agree , the silent majority are with him . How anyone can support 2TK is beyond me.

jakuss, I see that you refer to Mr Trump as a " great leader".
Mr Trump publicly mocked a man with a disability.: shame on on him, shame on anyone who supports him.

I wish my autocorrect would change Farage to Fuc! I'd fill in the rest 🤣

How do you you know if they're silent. I'm very pleased I'm not a part of any silent majority.

Not very silent on here and far from being the majority. Trump and his famiky growing richer because of his policies, Farage cut from the same cloth. Shocking man

TBH I don’t think Farage supporters care a jot about his £5 million ‘gift’.

Just like they don’t care about his racism, his misogyny and his lies. They know who he is, like we all do.

They will defend him, regardless.

I feel very dispirited about my country at the moment.

Sounds alot like Trump. He is not doing very well. He has ruined America, any relationship with Europe and most of the world. How is Brexit going? I can't think of any benefits gained.

jakuss

It was a gift, big or small, a gift is a gift they try every trick in the book to discredit Farage, same with Trump, both great leaders

You have got to be kidding. Is your statement a joke? Trump is the worst US president ever. He has ruined America and it will take decades to repair the damage he has done and continues to do.

How ANYONE with any respect can support Farage is beyond me.

I think you highly overestimate your “silent majority”

The majority of Farage fans I’ve come across are far from “silent” and I simply don’t believe they are a majority!

From what I’ve witnessed, seen and heard with my eyes and ears, the majority of Farage fans are either noisy bully boys or people whose fears and insecurities have been played on.

Either way, I certainly don’t think they’re a “silent majority”

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Methinks we have some “jokers” on here.

New names I just don’t recognise.

I do understand people supporting other parties, other leaders, other politics, but people suddenly popping up claiming Trump and Farage are great leaders and that their supporters are the “silent majority@… 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ 🙄🙄

You took the words out of my mouth Cossy.

Some wind-up merchants on here tonight - perhaps there’s a full moon🤔

the silent majority are with him?

Are they silent because they haven’t the vocabulary to articulate why they support a blatant liar, trouble making racist and a fool who pushed for Brexit promising the UK all manner of benefits and prosperity, while actually pushing us into an economic decline and isolation that Trump has taken advantage of! Not to mention the fact that Brexit caused the ‘boats’ to appear en masse with no capacity for us to send illegal migrants back ! Farage’s boats!

No need to be silent / do enlighten us all what exactly you imagine Farage can offer us when he doesn’t even turn up to Parliament and rarely even visits his constituency. Has he done anything for his constituents? - let me tell you / he has not!

They may not be the majority, but they are silent, every time you ask for a reason, an example or an explanation about why they support Farage.
Silent.

Well said StoneofDestiny and Marmia.

Please don’t be silent, Farage supporters …we want to hear about all the good things Reform will do for the country!

Not so much Farage supporters as those who dislike what you have now. What alternatives are there, seriously ? That is what gives Farage his support, there doesn’t seem to be anywhere else to go. I wouldn’t vote for Farage but then I certainly wouldn’t vote Labour just now. That’s a first , we always voted Labour when we lived over there. Lots and lots of Labour supporters have deserted the party and they need to take a good long hard look at why.

Nanna, There are a number of alternatives. Seriously ... would you jump off a cliff just because the alternative roads didn't look very inviting? In my opinion, people who think Reform is the only choice are suffering from myopia.

People don't have to vote Labour. I wouldn't ever vote Conservative, but for people whose politics are inclined in that direction, even Kemi Badenoch is improving. If push came to shove, she would make a better leader than Farage and could put together a better and more experienced team.

Just because Reform is something new doesn't mean it's better. I don't think it would happen, but the LibDems would (IMO) be better than Reform and they have more parliamentary experience. They also have experience of running local councils.

If people really want change, even the Greens would offer that!

So there seriously are alternatives, all of which would offer more realistic change than Reform without voters shooting themselves in the foot.

Reform isn't actually knew.
It is regurgitated UKIP.
Has BREXIT really worked for you?
Do you want a PM who takes money from the likes of Elon Musk?
Who is a performer and not a real politician?

twaddle

In my humble opinion, if any new Reform MPs are anything like the new Reform Councillors gawd help us all!

On a serious note, there are no “genuine” Reform MPs, aren’t the 8 or so MPs all actually ex-conservatives?

I know people are all fired up, I get people are frustrated, disenchanted and angry, but (said it before and I’m pretty sure I’ll say it again!), it’s a massive ask to whip up the 300+ MPs required to form a govt, where and how will this happen?

Actually, that’s my whole question about Reform in general, how, how much and how long are my questions to the stop the boats, get people off benefits and salvaging our NHS, which, to be fair, are the only three things I ever hear Reform wish to do, since their promise of raising our income tax allowances to a fiscal suicide level of £20,000 a year seems to have been flushed away down the pan!

Some more explanations and clear policies might help their cause.

I certainly don’t agree that “we don’t have a choice”, Conservatives, LibDem and Greens are not dead, and actually, neither is the Labour Party. If only voters in general could be a little less concerned with Asylum Seekers and migration (I’m not suggesting these areas are not an issue), and people on benefits, and just a little more able to perhaps make changes that might be required in their own lives to improve their situations, (I’m not suggesting everyone is able to do this, nor that people don’t try in general), blaming others is easy, taking a little bit of accountability for one’s one actions is far harder.

This certainly isn’t aimed at anyone in here, most of us are now retired, done our bit and paid our dues.

Sadly the same cannot be said of some of the younger generation, not all, but that small percentage who would prefer to blame anyone other than themselves for their current situations.

Life is hard, tough and not fair, sounds harsh, but it’s true, there is no panacea nor magic wand, and is certainly not Nigel Farage.
