July 4, 20169 yr Of 751 MEPs he has the 747th LOWEST attendance. Saying he does nothing doesn't require much of an intuitive leap
July 4, 20169 yr How do you know that he does nothing? Are you by his side every time he's in Brussels? Bet he does as much as any other MEP. Am sick of people always having a go at him and saying stupid things about him. :angry: from his own mouth, actually. He was invited to a local "do" of a work colleague' organisation and he said in the conversation/speech that he didn't see his job as getting involved in doing anything to do with Europe, he was elected to get the UK out of Europe and nothing else. He has stuck to that. Sorry!
July 4, 20169 yr I suspect what you really mad at is referendum 'stealing' :teresa: I've been checking back on the polling data... Oh I've hated his racist-flavoured agenda for years, and I've hated him for years, the result just underlined I was right all along to loathe him. Hopefully he'll just fade away into oblivion now until he sets up another banking company he can bankrupt and UKIP will cease to exist now they have to have some actual policies other than HATE EU HATE IMMIGRANTS. Being optimistic... :P
July 4, 20169 yr I assume that Farage thinks that, by standing down, he won't be under any obligation to condemn the increase in racist attacks since the referendum. Unless, of course, he unresigns again.
July 4, 20169 yr He also won't have to defend these terrible shoes he was sporting to a garden party with evil billionaire tyrant Rupert Murdoch yesterday. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm82/TheMagicPosition86/Screen%20Shot%202016-07-03%20at%2021.02.32_zpscu7xqxrt.png Edited July 4, 20169 yr by Doctor Blind
July 4, 20169 yr Indeed it is!! She also has a video of Farage, voldemort and Dr Fox eating together.....and calls them w*n**rs ^_^
July 4, 20169 yr From Twitter (via the BBC), a comment that everybody is quitting Chris Evans - Ginger Cameron - Posh Roy Hodgson - Sporty Boris Johnson - Baby Farage - Scary

Being optimistic... :P UKIP's fate is now in the hands of parliament, or more specifically, what they choose to do about the referendum result they've been handed. They can kill them off by implementing what the majority have requested, or give them a potential 17 million vote boost by circumventing it. As for him 'hating immigrants', I don'r recall him ever saying that - and besides, isn't his wife German? I assume that Farage thinks that, by standing down, he won't be under any obligation to condemn the increase in racist attacks since the referendum. Unless, of course, he unresigns again. At least you haven't suggested he is somehow responsible for them. He certainly didn't *create* the racism in the warped minds of those perpetrating those disturbing incidents. What I continue to find disquieting though, is the continuing insinuation by Remain supporters that legitimate concerns over strains on public services & housing, etc, are 'racist'. Indeed, IMO it is that very decades-long dismissal that has poured petrol on the fire of Europhobia. Edited July 5, 20169 yr by vidcapper

Indeed, IMO it is that very decades-long dismissal that has poured petrol on the fire of Europhobia. It's very simple. Most of the immigrants using the NHS are using it as a means of earning a living. If you see an EU-immigrant in a hospital, they are far more likely to be a member of staff than a patient. The NHS needs more money. The failure to give it that money is down to government policy, not EU migration. Indeed, if the number of Britons retiring to countries like Spain falls as a result of the referendum, that will be a bigger challenge to the NHS than EU migration.

There was no referendum or opinion on what that exactly means. If there were another referendum Leave probably wouldnt even win, so politicans have to keep the Remainers (and businesses and investors side) happy as well. You can choose to interpret what Leave means as you want to, and so can every other person in the country. Racists don't ever say I Am A Racist. That would be insane. They demonstrate they are racists by their actions. Not condemning murders of MP's, showing no remorse for racist attacks, putting up racist posters and so on...this all encourages that sort of feeling. He is free to comment on many issues and refuses to do so. When Jo ox was murdered all he had to say was "I'm sorry it happened". Not sorry for her, her family, no condemnation of murderers and anti-democratic actions. he himself was ready to say 48% is not the end of the story when he thought he was going to lose the referendum. He does not believe in fairness and democracy. He has pocketed 80k a year from the EU for 17 years, thats well over 1.5 million pounds, and he hasn't contributed a single penny for the region he represents in all that time. Money, literally, for nothing. He is a horrible human being, and refusing to see what sort of person he is just makes his supporters look like fools. Even his own MP hates him.
July 5, 20169 yr Farage is a w*n**r. That's all that needs to be said. No surprise he's jumped ship as soon as he got what he wanted. What an odious toad.
July 6, 20169 yr People voted to Leave the EU. Full stop. There was no referendum or opinion on what that exactly means. If there were another referendum Leave probably wouldnt even win That's what 'Remain' thought *last time*. :teresa: The point is - no-one knows the real reasons why the majority voted for Leave - a lot of people *think* they know, but if they are wrong, then they're doomed to lose any repeat referendum. None of the factors that influenced their vote have changed, plus there'd also be an additional factor of being infuriated at having their democratic decision pissed all over! Racists don't ever say I Am A Racist. That would be insane. They demonstrate they are racists by their actions.

Not sorry for her, her family, no condemnation of murderers and anti-democratic actions.What would was he supposed to do - break down & wail, and wear a hair shirt for the rest of his life? If he'd done so, I suspect he'd be accused of insincere overreaction - in other worlds, he couldn't win in the eyes of the eyes of the Remain camp. He is a horrible human being, and refusing to see what sort of person he is just makes his supporters look like fools. Even his own MP hates him. Admittedly Farage is not someone I'd want to invite to a dinner party, but he *did* get the job done, so I can't be too condemnatory of him.

A simple comment, "democracy is not about murdering people you don't agree with, and I wish my deepest condolences to her family and friend" would have been the bare minimum to made him look human. he made himself look inhuman, we weren't expecting him to cry on queue for the cameras, as yes, no-one would have believed him. he isn't capable of crying. Now he's trying to win back with German wife, apparently, for a couple of years, and there are rumours about a Latvian barmaid. Seems he DOES like EU citizens when it suits his own (getting away his) ends..... :P

July 6, 20169 yr Apparently Farage now wants to do Celebrity Big Brother since he's no longer UKIP leader. Thankfully he hasn't received any offer.
July 6, 20169 yr IMO his personal connections prove he is not xenophobic, and that like me, it is the power-grabbing institution that is the EU that he opposes, not the *people* of Europe. And his comment about not wanting to live next door to Romanians? Besides, if he was so concerned about EU structures, why is that he rarely completes a sentence without the word "immigration" appearing? And why has he been totally silent on the matter of the increase in racist attacks since the referendum?
July 7, 20169 yr And his comment about not wanting to live next foo to Romanians? Besides, if he was so concerned about EU structures, why is that he rarely completes a sentence without the word "immigration" appearing? And why has he been totally silent on the matter of the increase in racist attacks since the referendum? I'm not sure we had the full context of that remark - when it suits them, the BBC is as adept at snipping context as the Daily Mail is. He mentions immigration partly because no other mainstream politician is willing to - despite what lefties want us to believe there *are* negative consequences as well as positive ones. As for racist attacks, the perpetrators are solely responsible for their actions - unless you are claiming that Farage urged people to commit racist acts?
