The Cult Of Farage - Hero's Welcome In the US

They love him in the States just like we do here!

"Nigel Farage was among his fans in the US.

"He's awesome and cool," 20-year-old Alain Robert told Sky News.

Political writer Randy Foreman was even more gushing saying the UKIP leader had all the appeal of James Bond.

"He's absolutely a fantastic politician. We just don't have them here like that in the United States."

news.sky.com/story/1435132/the-cult-of-farage-heros-welcome-in-us

We don't have 'em like that here, apart from the legend that is Farage

"Mr Farage's YouTube videos berating European bureaucrats and taking on the might of Westminster have made him something of a cult figure on the right of American politics.

So organisers of the biggest political event of the year for US conservatives, the Conservative Political Action Conference just outside Washington DC, invited him this year instead of a British conservative politician - a break with tradition."

There are no British Conservative politicians left. They are all a progressive Oxbridge joke, the People's Army will free us from their PPE yoke.

It is a shame Farage wasn't born in the States because they'd make him President without a doubt. I guess we're lucky that he is UK only, so that he will be PM here one day.

'And blaming all the ukip member fuckups on Tory defectors is just'

I'm surprised it took Farage that long to work it out. Who on earth has he got advising him? I spotted that ages ago.

This thread would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad that anyone actually believes all the ukip bs. Man of the people, who tells it like it is, my arse. He caters to the media more than any of them. And blaming all the ukip member fuckups on Tory defectors is just ConfusedHmm

Hands up, live in Thanet, I honestly cant say which way it will go here, around my area I`m heartened by the number of anti UKIP posters in the windows and can honestly say no one I know is a fan, however, reading the local FB pages there is support for him. Its not going to be a walk over for him though, at the moment I would say its 50/50.

Kampeki · 08/04/2015 12:02

Yes, seeker, I think he will. And I think that may be the beginning of the end for UKIP.

Seeker33 · 08/04/2015 11:54

Do people think Nigel F will resign as party leader if he loses at Thanet?

Thinking about it, he may have no choice. (Anyone here live in the Kent seat he is fighting?)

This was the clarion call that started the whole people's revolution off. Farage's historic speech and the words "Come and join the People's Army. Let's topple the Establishment" struck fear into the hearts of every luvvie in the land.

Beppe Grillo's joined the People's Army? Shouldn't you shake off Gordon Brown's bone-crunching bearhug and join the People's Army too?

"Italy's Beppe Grillo joins Nigel Farage's 'people's army'

To shake off the last remaining vestiges of your Gordon Brown phoney baloney blinkers, you could do worse than read an eminent journalist's piece in the Telegraph on the people's revolution.

"the Ukip revolution is broad, radical and worthy of respect"

Votes are still being counted, but I think it’s okay to say that we’re witnessing a revolution in British politics. And even though at the centre of the rebellion is Ukip, I want to be deadly serious about it.

Here’s what has changed. In the past, Britain’s electoral rebellions always came from the centre: the Liberals in 1974, the SDP in 1981-87, the Lib Dems in 2005-2010. What we’ve never had in this country is a Right-wing, non-Tory party driving the dissent. And, even more importantly, we’ve never had a Right-wing party that could command both disaffected Conservative and Labour supporters. Yet, Ukip’s result is not only impressive but also national – eating away into the working-class heartlands of the North as well as the suburbs of the South. For the first time in its history, Britain has a serious, populist, small-c conservative alternative to the mainstream parties."

Join the people, join the revolution. Can we get change? Yes we can!

'And if you think I'm voting Cameron, you must be kidding.'

I'm glad to hear it, not many others are either, they've all gorn UKIP.

'Stop talking about the People and the Revolution.'

I'm sorry but this whole election is about the people and their revolution. Farage has even written a prose masterpiece on the subject called "The Purple Revolution". It has already received so many accolades that journalists and reviewers are running out of superlatives.

'Fox News are seen as a joke by intelligent Americans'

I beg to differ, former US Vice=Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, doesn't think so, she is a frequent contributor.

'make the party even more of a laughing stock than it already is'

Cameron and Miliband aren't laughing. Miliband was filmed in his millionaire 'two kichen' mansion's kitchenette blubbing into his mug of Rosie Lee and Cameron was filmed in his kitchen blubbing while shelling peas, though in true 1922 Committee style, he blamed the onions and the rest of his backbenchers.

You need to meet people outside of the Bullingdon Club and the North London New Labour appreciation society. There is a people's revolution going on and Cameron nd the 1922 Committee are panicking.

Yeah. I'm from Birmingham. Nice generalising there though.

And if you think I'm voting Cameron, you must be kidding.

Stop talking about the People and the Revolution. You sound like Citizen Smith. It's embarrassing.

PS - Fox News are seen as a joke by intelligent Americans. Fox News recently pulled out an 'expert' who claimed that 'Birmingham, UK, is a no-go area for white people'. Fox News is not a credible news channel, you dimwit.

'I gave up reading your cut-and-paste nonsense after about two posts'

If you wish to remain in la-la land and not learn the truth, then you are entitled to join Cameron and the 1922 Committee.

"Everyone I've spoken to (working class or not) finds him odious, repulsive and, frankly, scary."

'Ill-disciplined rabble in anti-Farage protest'

www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/mar/24/ill-disciplined-rabble-in-anti-farage-protest

Havent read the whole article, but doubtless it is the 1922 Committee, Cameron's chumocracy and the Tory backbenchers up to their usual tricks again.

Um, no.

I'm working class, and I can tell you now that Farage does not represent me or mine - or any of my friends/family/colleagues.

Everyone I've spoken to (working class or not) finds him odious, repulsive and, frankly, scary.

And you come across like one of those nutters with a tin-foil hat! I gave up reading your cut-and-paste nonsense after about two posts because you sound completely demented. I have friends in America and American friends here - Farage has made no impression on Americans other than 'what a fucking prickwit that man is'.

If you're a prime example of a UKIP support then I don't need to worry about them - your talk of The People and witterings about The Establishment will make the party even more of a laughing stock than it already is.

' it's not like you ever actually listen to anyone else now, is it?'

I'm sorry you're miffed that I don't listen to you, but to me, what you say just seems like politically correct New Labour speak. But times have changed and the Gordon Brown bluster no longer wins votes.

How many UKIP members have been suspended so far?

18 UKIP Councillors (including 2 council group leaders),
15 Candidates,

1 Youth Secretary,
1 UKIP Scotland Chair,

3 MEPs have been suspended from the party solely during this parliament.

"Through his barnstorming performance Farage has not only brought new credibility and popularity to the UK Independence Party but has also given a highly articulate voice to large swathes of the public who feel betrayed by our arrogant metropolitan elite.

The impact of Farage’s triumph was revealed in opinion polls at the weekend that showed a surge in support for Ukip
...
Labour tries to cover its attacks on the working class with endless anti-Tory, toffbashing rhetoric. But this class war language is deeply hypocritical, for Labour is awash with privilege. Leading frontbenchers Ed Balls and Tristram Hunt went to private schools while Miliband is a property millionaire who went to Oxford. Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman, niece of the Countess of Longford, was sent to St Paul’s, while Paul Nuttall, Ukip deputy leader, was educated at a secondary school.

Enveloped in politically correct ideology Labour can no longer claim to be the party of the people. That is why Miliband should be terrified of Ukip’s rise."

www.express.co.uk/comment/columnists/leo-mckinstry/469036/Ed-Miliband-should-be-terrified-of-the-growing-support-for-UKIP-in-Labour-strongholds

The rise of UKIP is historic because it signals tha the people have had enough. They understand the game, they know about the stitch-up, they know we have always been run by this select class from Oxbridge that the Establishment promotes. But now it's over, everything is about to change. All the spin, the climate change game, the charidees, the foreign aid spending etc are all going to have to change because the people are rejecting the whole lot.

Kampeki · 19/03/2015 21:30

Because Farage is on the people's side and not on the elite's side which is why they are so terrified of him.

He is not on my side. Not at all. And I'm not one of the elite by any stretch of the imagination.

claig · 19/03/2015 21:23

'You seem to have rather a chip on your shoulder about Oxbridge, OP'

Absolutely not. I think Oxbridge is a fantastic institution. I am highlighting that nearly all of the political class and the great and the good are selected and promoted by the Establishment from there. The people know it is a stitch-up and the people are not represented by these servants of the elite.

'but you're apparently less bothered about Farage's public school background. Why is that?'

Because Farage is on the people's side and not on the elite's side which is why they are so terrified of him.

'Is elitism ok if your parents can pay for it?'

There is nothing wrong with elitism if it serves the people, but everything wrong if an elite class is selected and promoted to serve the elite rather than the people.

"The roots of this insecurity are not hard to fathom. Isolated and deracinated, today’s main political parties are terrified of one thing in particular: the people"
