Nigel farage

[Georgeianotits]

Can we all give our opinion on reform and that guy please.

Why didn’t Starmer call them Farage boats during electioneering?

Ask him? He has an official email address.

Don't you wonder why Farage hardly mentions Brexit these days?

Gotcha.

They're wankers and he's a cunt.

Of course it isn’t. Quite the opposite.
yes, there are dodgy asylum seekers. Of course there are because in any group of human beings, some will obviously be badduns.
To decide though that all asylum seekers are dodgy based on their demographic (strong, young men) is beyond foolish. Who would you send on a desperate journey if the future of your family potentially depended upon it.? Mum? Probably not if younger siblings are involved. Dad? looking at the countries and social conventions most immigrants are coming from, the earner? Sisters? No. Obviously. The fit young man. Yes, most likely.
As the mother of an adult daughter and a fit, younger son, the idea of putting him in a boat in the hope of a new life free from oppression fills me with absolute horror. Because we’re British and white. Were I the mother of several children in somewhere like Afghanistan where thousands of families have been royally screwed by the UK, I think I might possibly be pragmatic and look at the greater good.
Just for a moment, imagine having to make that choice.
We reap what we sow.

If Labour had come into power and done nothing at all - just took a big long holiday - our country would be in a better position than we are with their meddling.

Children (whose parents were already paying for their education on top of paying their considerable taxes towards state education) having their education disrupted.

Farmers facing having to sell off chunks of land to pay inheritance tax making their farms ever more unviable until foreign companies will own our food production - if any - or the green belt is built on.

Increased employer national insurance adding more strain to ever struggling businesses - particularly employee heavy businesses like hospitality and retail. Pubs and other businesses closing at a rate. Expectations of further anti business and anti landlord measures encouraging big business to pause investment or move abroad and the already too small pool of houses for rent to shrink.

Brexit has turned out to be very bad for farmers

Brexit meant the UK could impose VAT on PS

Who was the big supporter of Brexit and leader of the Brexit Party?

Farage can’t be bothered to show up for his day job as the overlord of Clacton. His seat in the HOC is a arse free zone. Remember when he was on the Fisheries committee in the EU and he actually could have done something for British fishermen but he only showed up to one meeting during his whole tenure? And then he lied and gas lit them into voting for Brexit - something that made it much more burdensome to sell their product to its biggest market? 🙄 Needless to say, the UK wasn’t flooded with the bountiful harvests of cheap fish he promised.

Can you imagine a country relying on him if there’s a real crisis? He fucked off to America to suck up to that orange clown after Brexit rather than taking responsibility for his actions like the work shy coward he is. He’d make that sex yeti Boris Johnson look competent. His cabinet would be full of wife beaters and Temu Anne Widdicomes. Look at what he does, not what he says. He doesn’t give a fuck about any of his potential voters. He just tells them what they want to hear.

he is evil. I agree truth will out

@MayaPinion is completely right. I can't imagine he'll even stick it for the next 4 years being leader of Reform - let alone be PM - there is possibly quite a lot of work involved. 🙄

Farage is an admirer of Argentinia president Javier Milei

Only last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.

What do you know about EM?

Other than what you simply cut and paste.

He like chainsaws?

Do you disagree with my cut and paste?

History and context is everything.

Argentina has lurched from one default to the next, and where approaching 55% of all workers are employed by the state.

Milei’s policies come with necessary pain -
I know the country very well and the only alternative is a return to Peronism.

You don't disagree then

Farage never mentioned necessary pain or foreign bail outs in his admiration.

An absurd comparison, and merely demonstrates that you are well out of your lane (whatever your professional background is/was).

Be serious, please.

Yes dear

Jewish people attacked at a Manchester synagogue.

Despicable.

This 💯. Milei is just taking Farage economics to their logical conclusion. Slashing and cutting , that's the way , said he. But Milei is lucky , at the least the US is still capable of bunging him $20 billion. That might not be the case in four years at the rate his other hero is fucking everything up across the pond.

Perhaps the EU could help Nige out when he inevitably takes Britain up shit creek in a barbed wire canoe. Or maybe his pals in Dubai?

@DuncinToffee

I am still waiting for your evidence that Brexit did not increase immigration and the small boat channel crossing

I suggest you look at Oxford University Migration Observatory findings. They came to the conclusion that due to the failure of the Dublin Agreement which resulted in an average of 500 returns over the period 2008 to 2020, but declined yearly to a figure of 209 by 2018, the effect of Brexit was minimal.

@DuncinToffee

but no other member state have left the EU since 2016 and countries are waiting to join.

No other EU member country has had a referendum whether are not they wish to remain in the EU. A question that has not been asked can’t be answered. So, your suggestion that all EU members are happy is speculation.

Of the countries who are waiting to join, will they join as net contributors or net takers? I would say the later.

If the UK was a net taker like Ireland and Poland, I would not have voted leave in 2016.

Still waiting.............

Ireland has been a net contributor for some time. Support for the EU dwindled a bit during the years after the Banking crash as Irish taxpayers were forced to pay off the gambling debts of investors from other countries. But it has rebounded since Brexit and is above 80% . Indeed it is over 90% in the Dublin area. It seems to be lower in countries that are in receipt of huge EU subsidies if anything.

Net contributers benefit significantly

But I guess it justifies your move to a net take EU country.
