Re: Re:

The thing about Farage is, what will he do if he inadvertently wins? He'd *** his pants.

This is a man who hasn't actually done anything in his life other than coalesce the stupid around an imaginary enemy. Heaven forfend if he actually had to think up solutions to real problems

sounds like a description of magic grandpa

Oh I dont know. I dont think you can get elected for 32 years in a row if you haven't been a pretty damn good constituency mp. So he has done that. Whether he has done a good job of leadership of the party is questionable, but that is in part a facet of the current political situation. Would I want him as PM? Nope, but neither would I want Johnson or Jeremy C***t

Farage has been milking a huge MEP salary and expenses for years, but barely bothered to turn up, unless there was an opportunity for some of his self-aggrandising showboating nonsense. He has done, literally....nothing. An entirely destructive person who has no solutions, just trite soundbites. Be assured, he wont be around to clear up the mess when the *** hits the fan.

Can they solve the border problem? The EU checks are too broad.

 

[macbindle]

They can only solve it by creating problems elsewhere.

Have a read of this...

Not really as safe seats allow some piss poor MPs to get elected and continually re-elected both Labour and Tory

 

[macbindle]

True, Boris is a good example of that phenomenon. Corbyn is reputed to have been a very good MP, however.

 

[macbindle]

£26,900 A MONTH!!

And that is on top of MEP salary.

And people wonder what motivates Nigel Farage.

But he's not part of the "elite political class"

Nigel Farage earns at least €30,000 a month from media company

I think this sums up the utter embarrassment of having Farage and his money-grabbing lying chums representing us in the EU...

In turning their backs, Brexit MEPs behaved like attention-seeking toddlers

The unravelling of the Conservatives continues -
https://www.theguardian.com/politic...g-maybot-rages-against-the-dying-of-the-light

In recent weeks Jeremy Corbyn has steered clear of mentioning Brexit at prime minister’s questions. Largely because Labour’s own Brexit position can’t survive much scrutiny. But with Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt trying to outcompete with one another to prove who is the most clinically insane, ...

Yes....but he is still lying to you.

Re:

No he is not lying to me or you. Just saying things you don't agree with.

 

[macbindle]

No. He is lying.

Parliament has a new group, the Independents.

A group of Independents ... what's the collective noun for that?

 

[macbindle]

If you want an understanding of just how fuked 80% of the UK population are....just watch last nights debate between Johnson and Hunt.

Utter self-serving bastards, for whom this is all just a game.

How did you survey the data and come up with 80%?

 

[macbindle]

SPI, ASHE, HMRC and Institute of Fiscal Studies reports.

Re:

You indicate 80% of the population will be in trouble yet more than 50% voted for brexit.

 

[macbindle]

And your point is?

 

[nevele neves]

Re:

And your point is?

80 vs 50 you are off, and adding 30 to the wishful thinking.

you are in the 40 something percent and that makes you hate on the other 50 plus percent.

 

[macbindle]

What the hell are you talking about?

Anyway, moving swiftly on from nevele's babbling gibberish, here's another piece on what seems like the imminent breakup of the UK:

A progressive, united Ireland seems more likely than ever – thanks to the DUP
