AIBU to think Farage should answer to voters, not media scrutiny?

Don’t you think it is disgraceful that a man of the people like Farage just needs to take a few bribes from foreign donors and swerve electoral law and the mainstream media are all over it. Why do they not let the electorate decide whether he is corrupt or not? The great and informed people of Clacton obviously decided that he was a wonderful MP and represented their interests and made the place thrive like it was before Brexit and they wanted a continuation of becoming great again which is why they voted Nigel back in.

Op. I think you're taking the piss. But I'm not completely certain...

Yeah mate - they are taking the piss!

@CorporalJohn I think the OP is being somewhat ironic 😁

Totally with you, OP.

It's not for Parliament to decide Parliamentary standards, nor is it for the police to decide whether crimes took place, nor for the media to report on matters of public interest.

Those are matters rightly reserved to the people of Clacton!

😂have you just watched Channel 4 News?

The shit has hit the fan - he is so screwed!!

That was a proper sting and yep - he deserves it.

Indeed, what wonders he’s done for Clacton, the place is unrecognisable.
No one funded by the tax payer is beyond scrutiny, apart from Farage it seems, until now…
It cheers me no end and it’s nothing less than he deserves.

I have no idea what you are on about.
I will simply say that I have scraped better things than Nigel Farage off of the sole of my boot.
