To wish Nigel Farage would fuck off to the far side of fuck

He’s not a man of the people- he’s one of the elite. He’s a wealthy ex broker who wants to privatise the NHS. He has earnt a massive salary as an MEP but barely turned up. He’s a con artist who is actually pretty racist and unsavoury.

Am tired of seeing him on TV - he cares nothing for the poor of this country. I wish he would go away never to be seen again.

Aibu?

Yes arseholes like him make me very angry. I had 20 years of it working in the City.

Unfinishedkitchen · 13/05/2019 22:49

He’ll get the most votes because the BBC are working full time to promote him at the expense of every other party.

He just wants to guarantee 4 more years of MEP salary if Brexit doesn’t happen.

Any non mega rich person who votes for him is insane. He’s clear on his agenda. He’s publicly supported privatising the NHS for goodness sake. He wants the country to be just like the US where the rich are ‘winners’ and the poor are ‘losers’ who should be repeatedly punished and blamed for being poor or sick.

There’s a thread running where a woman is trying to get her mentally ill sister to move to UK from US as the high cost of medical insurance is killing their father. Why would anyone vote to turn their country into that?

He taps into the fears and prejudices of the easily led who want simple answers to complex issues. He entices them by telling them the plan is to get rid of the immigrants as that’s their problem whilst he and his backers like Bannon make their real plans - low tax, low wage economy with little rights. If you end up a ‘loser’ it’s your own fault and if your kids leave their underfunded schools, see no hope and turn to crime, they will be sent to privatised prisons to make things for free for big business and the army like in America.

He wouldn't even be on our radar if so many people didn't LOVE what he says. He came top of the MEP vote in my constituency (SE England, natch) for years and years. He is our creation; he feeds off us and spits the bile of our own worst selves back into our mouths.

I hate him. But if nobody voted for him he wouldn't matter.

Stripyseagulls · 13/05/2019 22:52

And he survived a bloody plane crash.....

Sorry, had to be done. Grin

MissGiddyPants · 13/05/2019 22:58

Oh dear god.

How fucking rude to accuse me of having learning disabilities.

And being a benefits claimant.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 13/05/2019 23:02

Does he still have the french girlfriend who thinks British women are fat and ugly? Didn’t he try to get a German passport?

calpop · 13/05/2019 23:05

Is he still married to his German wife? Perhaps its all just a jape and he actually loves Europe? He certainly loves his European MEPs salary!

Alsohuman · 13/05/2019 23:05

Wrong politician. His wife's German.

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 13/05/2019 23:09

Utter fucking cunt

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 13/05/2019 23:09

giddy can you actually read?????

You asked for any one else to add to the list of people to ban from voting i said people who want to ban people with learning disablities and benefit claiments from voting. You were the one who said you'd like to ban those people. For sayomg that i think you should be banned.

I didnt 'accuse' you of being either, i would van you from voting because of your idiotic comment about banning them and your even further idiotic comment about me accusing you of being either.

People with learning disablities are not subhuman and many many people who claim benifits have dons nothing wrong. The fact you think either is negative your using language like 'accused' of being says more about you than it does any one in either catogory or the older the generation thaf may or may not have voted for brexit

calpop · 13/05/2019 23:12

He does / did have a French girlfriend! Laure someone. Binned his German (second) wife for her after a 10y affair. Lovely bloke.

Grin Grin. For some reason I'm in fits of laughter at that, what an accurate description

Grumpbum123 · 13/05/2019 23:15

And when he reaches the far side of fuck, he should fuck off some more

Icantreachthepretzels · 13/05/2019 23:17

The more people who get out and vote next Thursday the less well he will do. He is favoured by poor turnout - because only the extremes (and the elderly, they always vote - though not necessarily for him) are voting. The higher the turnout the more watered down and central the vote becomes.
So make sure you get out and vote next week - and tell everyone you know to do the same.
recent polls show that the Lib Dems are sneaking up on Labour - only one percentage point behind them - so if you want to send a clear anti-Farage message they are your best bet - even if you still haven't forgiven them over the coalition/ tuition fees. (unfortunately Labour stand for nothing so there is no point voting for them).

everythingisginandroses · 13/05/2019 23:17

I think MissGiddyPants is trying to suggest that disliking Farrago makes you a ghastly elitist. As a girl from the council estate, I can only say...

Nah. He's a two-bob cunt Grin

MissGiddyPants · 13/05/2019 23:19

I can read. Just. Shame your command of written English is a bit shite.

But any road. I was actually not being serious.

But hey ho. Froth away.

StopSpinning · 13/05/2019 23:23

He's a horrid little man. I was staying in the same hotel as him in Sheffield last year and at breakfast he was on the next table. He spoke to his assistants appallingly and had them fetching things for him whilst he sat back like royalty. It was awful to listen to.

ilovesooty · 13/05/2019 23:24

There are plenty of voters of working age prepared to vote for the Brexit Partyand who think Farage is great.

I'm not far off pensionable age and I loathe him with every fibre of my being.

Gigglinghysterically · 13/05/2019 23:25

@Mammajay
"And the Brexit party have no meps."
No shit Sherlock! Grin
The Brexit party was only formed this year and, as there haven't been any European parliamentary elections since May 2014, it's impossible for them to have any MEPs yet!

everythingisginandroses · 13/05/2019 23:25

Thanks Portia, it cracks me up too for some reason. I sometimes listen to that song just to cheer myself up!

Russell Brand once called him "a pound-shop Powell" to his face on live TV, which also made me laugh Grin

themueslicamel · 13/05/2019 23:52

So why do you think he is so popular and gaining so much support?

Who are his supporters?

ginghambox · 13/05/2019 23:56

Who are his supporters?
The people who voted to leave the EU three fucking years ago.

MrsFrTedCrilly · 14/05/2019 00:03

Yanbu the far side of fuck is not far enough for this odious piece of crap.
It pains me that he gets so much attention from the media. Andrew Marr was rubbish with him on Sunday totally failed to show him for the piece of shit he is.
