MEP Nigel farage

[Deleted member 22389]

Lying to the voters before a decision such as leaving the EU isnt particularly democratic either.
The amount of people who voted Brexit, and now regret, as they feel they have been lied to is quite astonishing.

Isn't that politics all over? If people are clued up enough they would have done their investigation years before either for Remain or Leave. There was plenty of information, videos online.

Im sorry mate, but most of the country didnt have particularly intense feelings regarding the EU, and your average housewife, is unlikely to spend hours perusing political statements. Immigration was whipped up to the extent that now Polish people are described as vermin. Its ****ing embarrassing tbh.

You're getting your point across well. Little improvement needed but nearly there.

No just flipping one at dicks who make snide comments.

He will be the inside reporter to it all, to make sure there is no back tracking by the government.
But before that there is now a possible legal challenge where the MP's get the final say on Article 50. Call this democracy?

The referendum was an opinion poll. It took an act of parliament to go into Europe and requires an act of parliament to revoke it. Having said that, I doubt MPs will go against the electorate.

Just wish he would step down as MEP now, he never goes anyway, just in it for the expenses

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Nigel is still an MEP by the way and will still visit Brussels to make sure we exit the EU properly. Brexit means Brexit.

The 84000 euros a year wage, and looking out for his German wife, have nothing to do with it.

Red herring. Referendum is a mandate and the PM can envoke article 50.

You stay away from a disaster. You dont run towards it.

52% of the UK agree with that.

I'm ready for the flak....so bring it on. We won't be quitting EU for at the very least, a decade.

To those of you seduced by the great European dream, I have news for you.....It ain't going to last. It worked up to about 1990. It has been declining in efficiency ever since. It will eventually eat itself by greed. Trying to recruit more and more unsuitable members but placing a larger and larger burden on France and Germany. The first serious crack has appeared in the plan and the undercurrent throughout Europe is not good. Even the big cats are now unsettled and unsure.
Farage, to the annoyance of many, got it right. The public schoolboy with the common touch, appealing to the man/woman in the street. He knew this country had lost its social conscience and he appealed to the underprivileged masses. We have become a selfish society, failing to see the bigger picture. Judging everything economically instead of getting the balance right in life and also weighing up the social consequences of all central decisions.
He didn't appeal to many in comfortable surburbia. " I'm alright Jack, why rock the boat " attitude. He touched a nerve and ignited a fuse in enough areas where people were genuinely hurting. Not those pretending to care.

Farage appealed to the 'no more immigrants here and money for the NHS' believers. He hasn't got the common touch.

A great deal of that is very true, but IMO the only part of it that applies to Farange is putting his name to it...he's a feckin stirrer. He's done it again today...stirred it up and runaway! Again.
