[News] Nigel Farage and Reform

[Bodian]

Yes indeed, if that was what happened. I don't know if he was invited to and attended the official ceremony.

Marine Le Pen probably....

 

[Motogull]

This anti-Western, anti Democratic strategy is only possible thanks to the existence of useful idiots / bent over bitches like Farage, who’ll ignore anything for a bit of cash.

And Johnson. Yet some throbbers want him back as leader.

 

[Eric the meek]

Marine Le Pen probably....

Perhaps.

I'm still hoping for a skilled interviewer, having given him/Reform a list of prepared questions, will lead him into a trap.

First give him the chance to let off steam, and then ask him an innocuous question, and having anticipated his answer correctly, skewer him with a supplementary one.

Louis Theroux would be my choice.

 

[chickens]

So easy to trigger people on here who get upset because someone else may have a different opinion to them. It's pathetic and embarrassing.

Look son, if you enjoy getting lied to then pop your ‘X’ next to the Reform candidate in your area.

The fact is that they can’t implement what they’re promising, and they’re apologists for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

There’s a difference between opinions and facts. Everybody gets to have their own opinions, but none of us get to have our own facts.

Theroux never gets to the grit. He’s too fawning.

I’d have to go with Partridge.

 

[golddene]

This.

It will come as no surprise that I have the person to whom you replied on ignore.

Life is too short to have to wade through a load of old bollocks every day.

With you on your thinking H but I tend to give fair credence to other posters and try to understand their views, even if their views are total crap and their understanding of current affairs moronic.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Victoria Derbyshire takes no prisoners.

 

[rogersix]

So you have proof that said Dictator maybe funding Reform?

would it influence your voting intentions if he did?

 

[drew]

Disagree. I think Theroux is brilliant at getting his subjects to condemn themselves. He coaxes it out of them without them realising.

Although Partridge interviewing Farage would provide great entertainment.

 

[The Clamp]

I'm always surprised someone who has the same election success rate as Captain binface and has been proven catagorically wrong on just about everything is on our screens 24/7 with his "expert" political analysis

It’s absolutely ludicrous that Farage is given any screen time.

They are not even a fringe party. They are nothing.

If the BBC weren’t given him so much exposure I don’t think Reform would even be making dent in the polls.

Do the beeb have an agenda here?

I’m baffled.

All right then, what about Sir Alan Bates?

He smells a liar a mile off and saw off a bunch of bullshitters at the Post Office.

I think that’s the impression he likes to give. He never actually does though.

Hugo Keith KC: dogged fact-finder at heart of Covid inquiry

Lead counsel’s quizzing of leading politicians, officials and scientists has brought him to national attention

amp.theguardian.com

He toys with them as well, attacking their inflated egos;

“He has also had some fun, for example repeatedly stressing to the clear exasperation of Hancock that the former health secretary’s “pandemic diary” was not actually a diary, but written subsequently”.

In short , he is a genius at getting facts out of public figures and giving them a bit of a verbal spanking.

We're going a bit off-piste aren't we?

Whoever it was who was charged with teasing the truth out of Farage, I suspect it would not be easy. He may be a Brexiteer, but he's not an idiot.

Someone on here said he's got the gift of the gab. I also think he's quite sharp, and is able to deflect an attack well.

 

[raymondo]

Interesting to find out who invited him as a private individual?

Exactly. Did you get an invite, I didn't

He is... he's very smart, if only he'd use it beneficially...

That doesn't make sense - the rest of us on the war thread all got invited..

Pah...as Groucho Marx said....who wants to be in a club that doesn't want me as a member

He actually said completely the opposite

It's all in the detail Dick.

We all talk in riddles on the war thread. That's when we aren't dodging between the smoke and mirrors.
