Starting to think some people want foreigners running our political parties!
not very patriotic.

Why would Farage be exempt?

Jailed? He hasn't been convicted yet. I suppose they could always refuse him bail although I hear the prisons are somewhat full at the moment.

I wasn't talking about prison.

Why should he be exempt from following the rules, scrutiny. You have already said you feel indifferent about him.

Yet you keep bringing up Labour's donations.

best for Britain aren’t not a political party and aren’t running for election!

So, it's morally ok to take foreign money to thwart a referendum result?

To thwart? Very funny.
Electoral rules stop political parties from accepting money from foreign donors.

HMRC are looking into why no tax was paid on the £5million 'gift'

The Guardian was saying today that there a six investigations - will go and look for their list

HMRC are so slow, I doubt they've even considered the request to investigate. Too busy 'working from home'.

Multiple times according to my research.

Well that's nearly it, folks.

Thanks for keeping the thread bumped, Clav.

Clavinova · 06/09/2026 20:47

Yes, politicians across the board have broken the law

Has Farage actually broken the law?

The scale though?

The fact it’s pretty treacherous to take overseas money and act to make the U.K. work for them instead of U.K. people?

This sort of posting fascinates me

The wholesale dumping of unprocessed information about the 'other side's' faults/flaws that spans decades in defence of something very recent and specific

It's so un-focussed and really 'can't see the wood for the trees'-ish

There's probably a name for it

PerkingFaintly · 06/09/2026 21:19

It feels right to close with the link again to the Channel 4 piece on Nigel Farage, James Orr and Dan Jukes discussing accepting foreign political donations.

I can help:

'Nigel won't do it',
'[Nigel] doesn't know, won't know',
'[Nigel] doesn't know the real extent'

Not much of a case to charge Nigel.

He was elected by UK citizens to cause a disruption and force leaving the EU - which he ultimately achieved. He was there for 20 years - you should have rallied to vote him out when you had the chance.
