You might not have thought it possible but, yes, he's done it -

Oh dear lord. I can't stand the man but I'm pretty sure it was just an unfortunate turn of phrase, from someone whose been extremely busy and probably can't remember the last time he slept.

I don't think on this occasion that the depth he's plumbed, is as deep as the newspaper you read.

And people still listen to this man - makes you ashamed to be the same nationality, if not species!

Theoretician · 24/06/2016 14:13

I'd say he's treating the murder as the politically irrelevant action of a lone nutter, whereas those criticising him give it credence as a political action. The people using it to get at him are the twats.

I have no time for Nigel Farage, but he's clearly using the well-worn phrase that means 'without going to war'. I'm sure the tragic shooting of Jo Cox wasn't the reason the UK voted Leave.

Flacidunicorn · 24/06/2016 15:08

Farage could say nothing and people would still find a reason to resent him.

What Worra said.

I heard him say this in his 'victory speech' last night and I believe he chose that phrase very carefully indeed.

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/06/2016 15:14

I have been the person who says something tactless and awful because I have no brain:mouth filter and I think 'don't say elephant, don't say elephant' and of course the first word out is elephant.

However Nigel is a hateful, odious toad and I wouldn't put it past him.

Costacoffeeplease · 24/06/2016 15:35

I very much doubt he wasn't aware of the implications - once a fuckwit always a fuckwit

SweetieDrops · 24/06/2016 15:39

I can't get my head around how this man has such an influence now when he failed to even get himself a seat at the last election Confused.

I think the cameraman/woman deserves some praise for this Grin

Worra
That's the first laugh I've had all day Grin

Gowgirl · 24/06/2016 16:26

You beat me to it worra!

WorraLiberty · 24/06/2016 16:29

Grin I think the camera person should be remembered in the new years honours list.
