To think that appointing frog-face Farage as ambassador would be the worst thing ever?

[CockacidalManiac]

Does anyone actually think this is advisable? I know it won't happen, but I've just seen his horrible face all over the news talking about this.

I like your blue sky thinking! 😄

[Bloopbleep]

Bit it but birdybirdywoofwoof got me thinking - When they were talking earlier about exporting jam, did they mean getting rid of the just about managings?

[CockacidalManiac]

Good point 'Bloop'. Mrs Mayhem has obviously put some thought into it (for a change). Not sure how exporting imaginary cartoon bears like Paddington will help grow the economy though.

[BreconBeBuggered]

Six months ago we'd have had a bloody good laugh at the notion of Farage in any kind of diplomatic role. Now we're having to be all earnest about how it couldn't possibly happen, and agreeing with ID bloody S of all people, whilst looking away from the more notable couldn't-possibly-happens of 2016. Yes, I want the repellent little shit off my television, but I can't help worrying something even more obviously nasty is lurking in the wings.

[CockacidalManiac]

Last time I mentioned Farage on a thread I was suspended for a week, so I have to be careful!

[MassDebate]

The only more ludicrous idea than Trump thinking that Farage can speak for Great Britain is Farage thinking he speaks for Great Britain IMO. The man isn't even an MP any more. I can't stand his blatant posturing for position.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

He's never been an MP.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

Although, Gawd knows he tried to become one. Over, and over, and over, again.

I would rather have no trade relationship at all with the US than have to use Nigel Farage to achieve one.

I would rather have no trade relationship at all with the US than have to use Nigel Farage to achieve one. Really?

OP - maybe you should try and get over your playground mind-set before even attempting to discuss grown-up topics such as this?

[corythatwas]

Love the analogy with the visit of Mr Collins to the Bennets. Where, oh where, is the Mr Darcy who will come dashingly in and save us all?

[Darmody]

Good line on the radio just now - if countries are now getting to decide who someone else sends as their ambassador, can the US ambassador to the UK be Bruce Springsteen, please?

I would also accept Martin Sheen.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

He's more of a Uriah Heep than a Mr Collins I think.

Alright, Nige?
I'm sure it's far more adult to blame all the woes of the world on Johnny Foreigner.

Interesting first post too! Not much going on in UKIP central office today?

[Darmody]

It is extremely sad that so much of this country has been influenced by such a small-minded, petty little turd. I suppose that's why he and Donald Trump - the ne plus ultra of small-minded, petty turds - get on so well.

That either of these men is seen as an embodiment of straight-talking, anti-establishment sentiment is proof that an awful lot of people will believe absolutely anything.

[Atenco]

It's ridiculous the amount if oxygen that the media gives to the Farage Self Promotion Machine. The twat can't even manage to get himself elected to parliament.

That is something I cannot for the life of me understand. According the BBC he single-handedly won Brexit and is due a peerage???!!!!

[corythatwas]

Farage, like a lot of other things, has been normalised. He has a regular column in one of the major newspapers. Deplorable.

[SunnySomer]

I think Britain and Farage are being taken for fools by Trump. He can see how much Farage worships him - in that golden lift photo it's painfully, embarrassingly obvious - and that by flattering Farage in this way he puts him into an incredibly weak and vulnerable position. Farage and UKIP clearly can't see this yet.

[Pettywoman]

Why oh why don't the media ignore this odeous little man? They've given him free publicity for years and allowed him to set the political agenda even though he isn't even an MP and there's only one kipper in Parliament. Couldn't they have given him the Corbyn treatment and ignored and undermined him at every opportunity? This country would be in a much better position if they had.

[derxa]

Couldn't they have given him the Corbyn treatment and ignored I don't think Corbyn should be ignored.

[ForalltheSaints]

Please have more respect for frogs who perform useful functions in the natural world. They have no views on Brexit and deserve to be treated with consideration. Please do not compare them to Mr Farage.

Thank you, Somerville Fascinating etymology
"Toad-Eater" - The bastard !

[BigChocFrenzy]

I gather the Toad-Eater plans to move permanently to the US anyway, now he's got the ear of the Big Toad With Very Small Hands.
We'll have to cope without him, somehow
