You mean people like Claire Fox who doesn’t believe that the government should intervene in getting online terror videos removed? Maybe she sees the beheading of Alan Henning as acceptable viewing.

She actually has a lot in common with Mr Corbyn doesn’t she

You tell me. You’re the one flying her colours. I know she’s courted controversy with her views on whether the government should force the taking down of videos of the beheadings of British citizens by terrorists. I know she’s a climate change denier. Are those things she has in common with Corbyn?

Huge buckets of slime will fall on Farage from the Eu biased media as he really is threatening the snout in the trough world order

World order and new world order is 100% the language of conspiracy theorists. The theory as I’m sure you know has it’s basis in antisemitism and amongst its theories include climate change being a Jewish hoax to facilitate taking over the world. You seem to be falling into this category of conspiracy theorist with remarkable ease. What can we expect next from you? No one died at Sandy Hook? The American government staged 911 and the world trade centre is still standing? Maybe the Earth is flat?

Hahaha.

I never took you as an apologist for the far right. The fact you’re still defending him after the InfoWars video is pretty shocking.

Each to their own, I suppose.

Have you seen the interview? Here it is again, these people, including Farage need to be stopped. This goes way beyond Brexit.

Do you believe the ‘left’ (presumably anyone left of the far right as seems to have become the case amongst the alt-right) is allied with radical Islam and is trying to ‘flood’ Europe? How about people being arrested in the UK for saying there are 2 genders? Or Facebook censoring criticism of the EU? And that’s not even starting on the anti-Semitic elements and connotations within the interview, I’m shocked you’ve become an admirer of this vile man.



They’re clever. Each of those has enough of a nugget of truth to hide behind. Labour are allied with the Muslim vote generally, Blair did state an aim to flood the vote with minorities. People have been arrested for discussing the trans debate. Facebook have shut down anti-EU pages.

What’s not mentioned is that not all Muslims are Islamists, Blair didn’t succeed and isn’t in power any more, no trans Twitter beef has gone further than a stern talking to, and those pages were taken down for racism not anti-EU sentiment.

But he can reel off five or six half truths that need nuance and research to debunk before you’ve managed to think. Then if you claim it’s all bollocks the half truths come out to prove you’re “hiding things”.

You’ve got to admire it on some Machiavellian level.

Indeed, and 'aligned' with Alex Jones apparently. Oh and shockingly 'alt-right'.

Well Jones is part of the alt right movement and based upon his interview Farage doesn’t bother to challenge Jones’ views and seems to agree with him. It’s strange that there’s silence about it and just brushing it under the carpet.

Not all Brexit voters are fans of Farage, by the way. Just because Farage is labeled as being part of that world doesn’t mean that all Brexit voters are.

I’ve already stated that if lord such was alive and kicking I’d back the Looney Party and help fund it

There is zero requirements for a manifesto as oddly we shouldn’t be in Europe

Whatever anyone thinks about Farage he is easily the most skilled at handling the media. No one cares about his policies other than one.

Also to be fair to Farage he’s at least been consistent in his view on Europe and hasn’t flim flammed like Corbyn whose too frightened to really air his true views. He’s not aligned himself to a political enemy like the obscenity that is Vince Cable just to grubbily grab a peerage and a ministerial salary.

The real truth is there is no advocate for remain that is not smeared with scandal - Clegg the odious fat cat liar, the blood stained Blair creature, Cable the Tory whore, the utterly revolting Campbell, Mandleson the dodgy dealer and the slippery and disposable Cameron and Osbourne.

There’s no one is there? How about Austerity Anna, Chukka the champagne socialist and Heidi Whatshername?

Digging up some videos on Farage makes zero difference as he will bat this off all day long. Remain needs a credible voice to sell benefits of membership - not scare stories and pointless smears

There no one is there?

Come on, they’re hardly old videos and other politicians’ pasts get regularly brought up on here.

I agree about Corbyn, he’s opportunist and only flirts with remain to stay in his job.

I’m not sure there’s anyone from leave who is 100% credible and has zero smears, they’re politicians, 99% are as bad as each other. Farage is connected to a wider movement that goes beyond though.

Voting for a party based on a single issue that doesn’t have a manifesto is utterly insane. It’s a very dangerous precedent, especially his insane views on guns.

Even when the UK leaves the EU he isn’t going to go away as he has a wider political agenda, IMO. Anyone who thinks otherwise is naive at best.

None of this matters

The single issue is the country voted to leave the European Union and therefore it’s very very sane for people to put all their energy into the central figure associated with that. No one who wants to leave wants a manifesto other than leave

I hope his popularity grows - it will believe me - even now on latest polls he’d have 49 seats in Parliament

Rather than call people morons and thick people should perhaps start to look at why this is happening and address it. Across Europe there is emergence of fringe parties - Italy, France and Germany have far more far right extremists than the uk - it’s getting mainstream and it won’t go away unless the liberal chattering classes acknowledge their failings

Spot on.

Plenty on here dismissed him and his party as irrelevant just a few weeks ago, confident that it would split the leave vote. That was never going to be the case and once they’ve wiped the floor with the mainstream parties in the EU elections, the momentum will really gather pace. The EU elections will just be the start.

I’ve stated numerous times I understand the vote and blame successive Londoncentric governments and and corporations taking priority over citizens of countries.

Nowhere have I posted that we shouldn’t vote to be safe.

Have you seen the video?

It’s content are highly concerning and shouldn’t not be taken lightly, the claims in the video are absurd and outright lies and will be fueling extremism. Farage does not bother to correct or challenge any of them, which shows a very disturbing side to him and his wider agenda.
I'm sure he has a disturbing side to him. Just like Trump, Putin, May & Corbyn to name but a few. People who feel obliged to vote do so for such people as some of their ideals are generally unlikely to get through or implemented.

...yes the point of being interviewed is generally to answer questions posed rather than challenge the interviewer on their views.
I noticed on question time he didn't even speak let alone interrupt others in the first near 25mins...that takes some doing given what he is trying to do & was not replicated by the other politicians on the panel. So he certainly has some real clever tactics in his toolbox. Cannot believe he will have been ignorant to the chances of interpretation...but maybe he is seeing this as a means of trying to gain access now/future to some of these wealthy people he claims are aiming for & funding this 'New World Order' he speaks of?

You’d imagine that most people would steer clear of a programme presented by an interviewer with some weird beliefs, like the Sandy Hook shooting being staged.

You're confident there will be no issues should a no deal apply?
The rules are that you need a certain income to live where we are going to live. The income is low. And it doesn't matter where you earn it as long as you can prove it. I earn more than enough in just 3 months. What they don't want is people who are a drain on resources. They refuse them the right to stay. We will have to reapply each year for the first 3 years. The first time is after being there for 3 months. My mother has a neighbour who is Russian and her husband is an Aussie. He earns his money around the world and is hardly in France. She doesn't work. So my wife won't have to work. My pension if taken at 55 is well reduced but is still well over the minimum a couple have to have as an income.

And no I am not sure we would be OK. The only things sure in life is death and a lot of things to go wrong on the way.

Even with a deal he won’t automatically have the right to move there by the time he plans to. I suppose it’s a rather extreme way of having a peaceful retirement though ;)
Peaceful? I take it you don't have as many kids and grandkids as me :woot:

There is also the right to family life. And my plan was always to travel. So we could spend 90 days there then travel for 90 days or more elsewhere. Then free to go back for another 90 days. But even this could change in the future.

That is the biggest problem with Brexit. Too many people thinking that their thoughts are right and refusing to listen to anything else. It has caused my wife to give her job that she enjoys up and take our children to a country where they are not fluent in the language. At least they should pass their English exams.

So it's irrelevant whether Britain remains a member or not, you'll still have to fulfil the same earnings requirements?

I see Farage has described the Brexit Party as a company rather than a political party. Also called for further privatisation of the NHS and to curb efforts to prevent climate change.
From what I read it was more that those who can afford treatment outside the NH should do so. And I agree with this. I went private 3 years ago when needed and my treatment lasted well over 2 years.

The problem with that is those who can afford private treatment will stop caring if the NHS is properly funded or not the same way those who can afford private pensions no longer care if the state pension is enough to live on or not.

Yes and no. Yes to be sure. But the UK is so easy. That is why it is the destination to aim for. Nobody wants to be the place for scroungers to aim for. But we allow much more than others.

If you can't afford to move somewhere you shouldn't go. But most do come here to work. I'm not moving to work. I'm moving for the lifestyle. I'm buying the house of our dreams for less than the price of a 2 up 2 down. And going where crime doesn't happen. I can't remember the last time we locked our house up. So had to go somewhere similar.

The rich don't use the NHS. But more could do private healthcare.

I said months ago what would happen. All I got was the normal comments. We have about half the population that wants what Farage is after. It was always going to go one way.

We are in dangerous times. What will Farage do after the Brexit party has served it's purpose? A party against the establishment? Farage for PM?

Hang on...am I getting this right? You are moving to somewhere in France (?) where there are restrictions on the free movement of people?
