Why does nobody seem to care about Nigel Farage being given 5 million quid by…

because the chances are after watching the show billions, im guessing many would have different deals or tradeoffs etc so basically yea. theres bigger fish than 5 mil

🤞

Honestly?

For all their faults, Labour are busy enacting legislation and trying to work out how to make things better. One recent example that comes to mind is that they have commissioned an enquiry into how to decouple the unit price of gas (expensive) from the unit price of renewables (cheap).

I know, boooooooring 😴 Why can't they just wave a magic wand and make everything better RIGHT NOW?!

Perhaps Nigel could buy himself a small plane with a personal pilot with some of that £5million to avoid the security risk of being in close contact with the great unwashed general public at big airports?

What could possibly go wrong?

Ah yes, I knew it was something to do with the Kremlin, bribes and Reform UK.

Still though, back to the matter in hand - what a lovely personal gift to Nigel.

The donor isn't UK based, so it's likely not tax policy that's the angle.

We can't post about it on here but, to repost:

Oh, I know all right...

The Brighton bomb also seems to have slipped his mind.

I think Nathan Gill was accepting cash for questions in the EU parliament, without Googling it.

Probably questions along the line of "Do we not accept that the Donbas is majority ethnically Russian so should belong to Russia?" at a guess.

Surely you know why that is?

i can’t wait for all the threads about bins not being collected and social care going to shit

Hmm, regardless of the political party, they are all bloody corrupt, each and every one of them.

I’m not suggesting that I’m voting Reform, as I’m not, and there are no local elections tomorrow in my Borough, but FFS they are all as bad as each other, recent history (call it what you will) tells you us that, along with the drama of PMQ’s.

Why on earth they can’t get down to business and sort shit out is beyond me. The ‘games’ that us tax payers are funding (order, order), makes a mockery of the entire system.

Yes, he did. A disgusting little man who can’t be bothered to pretend to have even a modicum of respect for those who have been killed.

Did he say that ? What about jo cox and David amess

What gets my goat is that there are dozens of threads frothing about the Jewish leader of the Green Party apparently being wildly anti semitic, but when it's dear old Nige and his well documented youthful propensity to creep up behind Jewish kids and make hissing noises to imitate the gas chambers......tumbleweed.

Is he? Did I dream Jo Cox and David Amess and all the assaults on Anna Soubrey and other remain MPs?

I have to say, as awful as it is, I do quite look forward to these reform councils. The idiots who vote them in will get what they deserve

Farage is the UK’s version of Trump. Vote Reform at your peril.

And poor Nigel is the most physically attacked MP of modern times. So he deserves his 5 million to keep him safe.

Yes, I'm not sure what words trigger it exactly, but I do find that posts concerning the origin of the £millions that fund Reform (and - it seems - Farage) do get insta-blocked on here.

Here's a Guardian peace from before the "personal gift" was reported on.

Can anyone remind me what the deal with Nathan Gill was, btw?

Clearly it was a personal gift, nothing to do with politics. A gift from a chum concerned about the amount of milkshakes Nigel has had thrown at him. Totally innocent kindhearted gift.

Of course it does mean he can buy security while pursuing his political career safely but it is absolutely nothing to do with politics and is purely a personal thing.

Especially when the interviewers rarely bother him with difficult questions.

And refused an invitation from Newsnight. Odd that, given he usually turns up to the opening of an envelope if it means media coverage.

Well quite. When NF does it, it’s good on him for not paying tax. When AR does it, she should be in prison.

Envy? The guy has blatantly broken the rules he is supposed to abide by, which apply to all MPs of all flavours. Not even subtly. No misinterpreted and fluffy legal advice about a slightly complicated property set up. No ill judged football tickets or spectacles. Five million fucking quid.

Less about caring and more about not being surprised. Nigel does not present as a man of integrity or morals. Why would he care where he gets his money from ? Why would anyone else care ?
It is all just more of the same. People with any sense will just see it as further confirmation of what is already blindingly obvious about him. That he is a jumped up little twit funded by others of his ilk. Funding him will keep them all in property and Barber coats. Alot of people will just vote for Reform- Nige and the rest of his motley crew anyway sadly.
