The goofy toad of toad hall-faced wanker

At least other countries have sexy right wing twats, why do we get him?

1.Please say his name as it is supposed to be said - farage like garage

  1. Please don't vote for him he's one of Those Guys - smug, sweaty faced supercilious thickies
  1. All his policies are gash

It won’t happen

Farage is an agitator he isn’t interested in being PM

I see that have made Robert Jenerick as their shadow chancellor 😆😆 having these ambitious Tory failures is obviously causing concern

won’t be long until there is party infighting for leadership and it’s not strong or members experienced enough as a party for this not to ruin their chances

not that Farage will care he will just form another party and start again

Reading through this thread reminds me of the Handmaids tale. Dystopian England given to us by the left.

It really is. Reported some of it but doubt anything will happen.

So you'll challenge it next time someone calls Starmer a "vicious old queen"? That's good.

Challenge who? What are you reading that is needing me to step in, can’t you do it?

Ok search away if you want, knock yourself out.

I did, it was a thrilling minute or so. And hey - you seem to have stopped with your faux #BeKind indignation, so it's worked out nicely!

I have been clear what’s the issue now? I’ve said it’s irrelevant and he shouldn’t be judged on it over his policies. Why are you coming back on this again, it’s hardly ambiguous.

You know very well what I am talking about, which is why you won't give a simple yes or no answer.

You criticise @MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack for saying Jenrick's ugly actions make him appear physically ugly to her. But you quite happily say nothing at all when posters speculate about Starmer's private life and his marriage.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

I searched your username, and the keyword "Starmer", and your posts calling him a sneering bully and a craven prick were both on the first two pages of results.

That's hardly a commitment and trying to deflect with "ooo, you must have gone through a lot of effort to show what a rank hypocrite I am" is embarrassingly lame.

Searching a username to try and prove something is generally seen as bad form on MN.

You said ‘a politician’ in your pp. Now you’ve said more I assume you mean the court case coming up? I’m not on X I don’t see it, it’s of no interest to me and no I don’t think it’s relevant for him either. If he goes it should be due to political failings not personal gossip.

Come again?

Brexit, obviously. We don’t have the right to live and work freely within the EU anymore thanks to him - and now he’s the one who could potentially make us need that freedom more than ever before

I think pretending that someone refusing to comment on someone's appearance but instead calling their actions "exceptionally ugly" is somehow beyond the level of your very recent posts is pretty pathetic, tbh. The topic of a few pages ago - accountability - is one you might consider familiarising yourself with.

Sure I do think that, I didn’t say exceptionally ugly though for any Labour politician, good job with the AS 😬

Easternstandard, you haven't answered my question.

I will be clearer.

Do you think prurient speculation of Starmers sexuality is fair game or not? A simple yes or no is all that is needed.

It is pronounced Farage like Garage. Unless you're a Northerner....

Better to judge on policies eg if a tax is decimating jobs. There’s a few known gay politicians I don’t really follow that, it’s irrelevant.

Ditto the wealth of someone’s spouse, sadly that creates headlines, the public react and we miss out on better policy.

😄Hating Farage is now the cool thing to do.

What frightens me more is a coalition of Labour, the SNP and the greens. That will be the end of Britain. It’s already too late to save our identity, of course. As two-tier Keir put it, this is now “an island of strangers.” Immigration has happened on such a scale that it has destroyed any sense of shared culture or shared history. I don’t know how people have got the nerve to call Farage a fascist. The Left have imposed this change on us. That is fascism.

But it’s also a question of space. My home town (Colchester) is now so crowded I could scream. The roads are clogged with traffic, and the hospital is at breaking point. My local woods have been hacked down and replaced with two new housing estates, and we’re going to have 400 new homes built on the fields in the centre of the village. That’s on top of the 300 new homes already jammed onto some fields at the other end of the village. But no matter how many of these vile rabbit hutches we squeeze together, we always need more, more, more. From the languages spoken, I’d say at least half the people on those new estates were not born in the UK.

of course they are not born in the UK and many more not born will be shifted there

Well, a very quick advance search of EasternStandard's recent references to Starmer include calling him a "Sneering bully" and a "Craven prick".

So for her to get on her high horse about someone calling someone's actions "extremely ugly" seems like the kind of hypocrital whining that has become the hallmark of the modern right.

Sure I do think that, I didn’t say exceptionally ugly though for any Labour politician, good job with the AS 😬

Depending on which political ideology you're critiquing, of course.

I didn't say you had. I asked you where you stand on it? Is it fair game in your opinion?

YABU with such a childish articulation of a post. Grow up.

PURPLErainiswhatmadePrincegreat · 17/02/2026 20:42

ok, no prob. Many women found Boris sexy, despite some finding him vile looking. Bring him back
