Farage

[custardlover]

I have just been listening to his speech at Clacton today about DDay and patriotism and it's all hot air and bluster and nonsense and honestly WHO COULD POSSIBLY VOTE FOR THIS IGNORANT CLOWN?!?

OK but seriously anyone who is tempted, please tell me. I genuinely cannot understand it.

Typo in thread title edited by MNHQ to make it clear the thread is about Farage, not a garage

I referenced the UN because you brought them up? Other than the ECHR, what other international bodies do you think are restraining political change in the UK?

I wouldn’t say Japan are managing, either - their new PM, just last year observed that the country is on the “brink of social dysfunction" due to the country’s rapidly declining birth rate, population, and labour force.

They do say. Look on their manifesto. It's by coming out of European Court of Human Rights. Meaning all illegal immigrants coming over in boats will be intercepted and taken back to France.

Illegal immigration is only a small portion (3%) of total immigration.

Leaving the ECHR would not allow the UK to return illegal immigrants to France.

Farage admitted, on the BBC today, that Reform’s policies on illegal immigration (as set out in their manifesto) are unworkable bollocks.

Small credit to Farage. Most parties don’t admit lies in their manifestos until they end up in power, he’s freely admitting their manifesto is dogshit already 😂

@AmpleFatball no one said Reform are the answer, I personally support SDP but they don't have enough publicity to make a difference. The op just asked why Farage is popular. And many countries in Europe that have had too much immigration to integrate such as Germany, Sweden are arguably suffering more dysfunction than Japan. Examples of int bodies we are signed to well as UN - WHO, WEF ECHR all have more influence on our leaders than the voters. Noone is addressing the real issues.

People like Farage because he provides an antidote to the smug, self congratulatory, passive aggressive leftism that has over taken our country since Tony Blair et al! He doesn't shut down anyone concerned about mass immigration and social change with screams of racism! He understands why people are concerned and plays to it! The arrogant left still don't get that Brexit happened not because of Farage but because firstly the smugs tried to tell the silent majority that they were not to be trusted with a referendum and then tried to thwart the results of the referendum by patronising people and telling them they didn't know what they were voting for! I think they will also get a shock in theis election!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have these @lovelysunshine22 .

You must be running out after that diatribe (and calling others 'smug' while standing up for one of the smuggest, most self congratulatory cunts alive is possibly the most ironic post on the whole thread) 😂

He's just a jobby that won't flush.

Well he would definitely make politics in this country more interesting!

Well I live in clacton and won't be voting for him. From local chat it would appear that it is split 50/50, unfortunately quite a few people are saying he is a man of the people and will put Clacton on the map.

Also, the local mcdonalds was closed recently due to pest infestation. I saw something today suggesting it was maggots in the milkshake machine!!

Perfect example of what i said 🙄

He's that slightly racist bloke in your local who wants to bring back national service despite never having done any kind of serving or volunteering himself...
Don't know what anyone sees in him, but some people find him 'refreshing' apparently

'Smug'?

Are you sure you mean smug/smugs? If so what/who do you mean by that?

Are you saying that other people being smug is the primary reason to vote of wholesale change in the country's leadership and direction? smugness? Are you sure?
