To think that Nigel Farage is a political genius.

[beingchampion]

Doesn't matter if you think he's a cock, but he'll be remembered for a very long time. You've got to admire his tenacity.

I'm not sure if referring to "ostentatious breastfeeding" (wtaf?!) was political genius.

He's a dick and I can't stand him. So no I won't be thinking he is any kind of genius.

He's a xenophobic hate filled cockwomble.
No amount of political decision making will change that.

Nah. He's a twat.

You think he's made the decision? Bollocks. Look to his paymasters like Banks.

I absolutely loathe him in every way but I absolutely agree with you. Of course he is; look what he's managed to harness. Same as Trump.

There is no value in underestimating your opponents' abilities.

I can think of many words to describe Farage and 'genius' isn't one of them.

Nah, he's overplayed his hand and the rats are leaving the sinking ship. He'll be blamed for the fact that brexit will never happen. Ah well, never mind.

I'm with duckwillow Stirrer of hatred and a nasty man.
He's not even standing for election so shouldn't be given airtime.

I'd call him a hypocrite and an arse. Not sure about genius.

I reckon he doesn’t have enough candidates for every constituency, so has managed to turn that failure round with this distraction technique.

He'll be remembered as an over-inflated gasbag failure on the wrong side of history; if that's genius, he's welcome to it.

No, i don't admire people who whip up racial hatred funnily enough

Nope.

He is currently in my town and I feel sick that the vermin is so close. I have contacted the venue to inform them that I will never spend a penny with them again.

Actually, Brexit is the last thing he wants. He becomes a total irrelevancy then. This stunt is designed to prevent Brexit whilst showing him as the man of the people.

Man of the people if the people are verminous cretins.

He excels at personality politics. Hes got very high personable skills.

I don't think hes politically astute, he famously loses most of his actual political campaigns. I also dont think he's clever as some of his views are abhorrent.

He's good at appealing to a certain demographic, largely because he is rich, mildly educated, white articulate and middle class.

I’d call him a cunt but a) cunts are useful and b) he has neither the warmth nor depth of one.

I think he and his views are deeply unpleasant, but I think he is a brilliant communicator. Unfortunately.

I LOVE Nigel

Exactly this.

He's a political opportunist who kinda sounds these days like he's getting cold feet

How clever is it? So you split the vote in the seats that the Tories need to win rather than in the seats they already have?? How does that move any of us on? Johnson has enough of a following to attract new voters in Labour areas so the Brexit Party doesn’t get a clear run. Not sure it’s the political masterstroke of the decade.

Doesn't matter if you think he's a cock

But he is nonetheless and it does matter. In fact, cock is about the kindest description of him you could have chosen. I don’t believe he will be remembered as a genius either.

Unless genius is the new word for cunt.

No. Being able to tap into a hotbed of bigotry and social unrest does not require any form of genius. It just requires a big dose of arrogance/confidence and a huge load of money. That's how Trump (and most right-wing populists) do it too.

If he was a genius, it would all be done by now. He's loud, he's deeply deeply corrupt, and he was in with the right people for what he wanted to achieve. He has grossly underestimated how much influence those people actually had within the Tory party. He's never even had a single policy so he can't be called a politician. He's monstrous.

If you mean he's a genius for destroying the Tories...not sure that's a genius move tbh. I've always hated the fuckers but look at us now.
