Seeing that Repulsive Nigel Farage everywhere now

[stonejam]

I don’t like any of them. I’m politically hornless but seeing this turd getting more and more popular would actually make me leave the country.

Because this is a thread about Nigel Farage and he was out fox-hunting a few days ago.

I remember when Boris was the Mayor of London, I said one day he will be PM and people scoffed. I remember when Rishi Sunak spoke during covid, I said one day he will be PM. Nigel Farage will be PM...

Yup, on Mumsnet that make you Tommy Robinson. The climate change narrative/ Net Zero religion is strong here. They don’t want economic growth nor immigration controls.

The Tory party is dead. It has moved to the centre politically and is much closer to Labour/ Lib Dem in its general outlook.

No the claim was that May lost due her support for Fox hunting. That is wrong.

He wasn’t fox hunting. Was he on a horse? I don’t support fox hunting but you’re talking nonsense. He just turns up at events he supports. Just like he turned up at the farmers protest.

True but ukip put a huge amount of pressure on the Conservative Party, and Farage’s support of it, without clearly or accurately outlining the consequences shows what kind of politician he is.

It certainly formed part of her disastrous election campaign. Made her look completely out of touch. Have you forgotten?

He also has a pint of draught bitter - rather than his preference of G&T or wine - on the go whenever cameras are around when he's glad-handing a load of cross-eyed yokels in a pub.

Oh sorry, he turns up to fox hunts in ridiculous outfits and talks about how he supports fox hunting and wants to bring back foxhunting but you're right, he's not actually on a horse when he does it so it's all fine.

Sure, fox hunting is actually really popular and Farage actually has his finger on the pulse here

So Starmer wants to ban trail hunting but not a word against the truly appalling practice of salmon farming.
Noblegiraffe do you eat salmon? If so then you’re a complete hypocrite.

It's fairly irrelevant 4.5 years out.

No, I don't eat salmon.

Because he's been so great up to now 🤷‍♀️

'Farage will give the people what they want'

Well actually, he wants to bring back fox hunting which the vast majority of the British public want to remain banned. So perhaps it is more about what Farage wants?

Even though he lives in Brussels? The only thing Nigel cares about is Nigel.

Noblegiraffe do you have any views on Nigel Farage’s other policies or are you just obsessed with hunting?

And Farage is the champion for fishing? First as a no show MEP, then Brexit and now a no show MP at the latest debate.

"Sure, fox hunting is actually really popular and Farage actually has his finger on the pulse here "

Let's be honest if the anti fox hunting lobby was genuinely concerned about foxes then they would first be seeking to abolish fox gun hunts which kill way more foxes.

The real issue driving the anti fox hunting lobby is that it is seen as a "posh rich" activity largely by urban left wing liberals not any genuine concern for the foxes.

Either way there are a lot more pressing issues facing the country than foxes.

Let's hope the mainstream parties get their acts together and start developing policies that will appeal to the 4 million Reform voters.

🥴. He just turns up at events that he thinks support his agenda. He’s no more a fox hunter than I am. He’s a fake. I’ve no idea what you’re on about 🤣

Both these responses illustrate the hysterical bullshit I'm describing. The majority of Farage's propositions wouldn't make it into policy. Perhaps you should credit his supporters with a little more savvy?

I think there are many akin to myself, people who're just fed up of humouring sanctimonious bores who're too thick to grasp that their 'with me or against me' conduct is entirely antithetical to broad/liberal thinking.

What kind of policies would that be?

Ones that would make people vote for them?

"Even though he lives in Brussels? The only thing Nigel cares about is Nigel."

Farage lives in Single Street, Bromley near his mother.

There's loads of stuff to criticise Farage about so there's no need to make stuff up.

The real issue driving the anti fox hunting lobby is that it is seen as a "posh rich" activity largely by urban left wing liberals not any genuine concern for the foxes.

Of course it is - as is evident by remarks like ‘ridiculous outfits’. It’s always been a class war issue - if that’s not the case why aren’t hunt saboteurs sabotaging factory farms?
Also, why is fishing not banned too?
