Our live webchat guest this week is Nigel Farage. He is the leader of UKIP and has been a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) since 1999.

Known for his straight-talking, Nigel has made the headlines with forthright speeches, once telling the EU President he had the charisma of a 'damp rag'.

He is a regular on programmes including BBC Question Time.

If you have a question you'd like to put to Nigel, please join the webchat this Thursday lunchtime, 1pm - 2pm. If you won't be around then, please post your question here.

My response to this thread: Shock Hmm Angry
and Confused

I suppose every village has its idiot, even the EU, Im just ashamed we sent him there.

DamselInDisguise · 24/02/2011 14:35

Oh, rinseoff, the only one childishly stamping feet here seems to be you.

Rinseoffmycustard · 24/02/2011 14:37

But I'm not the one making extreme and baseless accusations to try to make others feel victimised so they support me am I.

MmeLindt · 24/02/2011 14:37

ROAR at Club Penguin.

No answer from Alan Sugar yet, will let you know.

Twit · 24/02/2011 14:38

Please don't talk to us like that. Foot stamping etc etc. You've done it all throughout this thread and it makes you seem like you think women are to be petted and pampered, but most definately kept in our place. After all, what could we possibly do we know?
I don't remember now whether you're here for the chat or here long term. If it is the latter I can't help thinking you should know better.

madamimadam · 24/02/2011 14:40

Rinse 'But seriously, look at it objectively like any open minded person should and you will realise that they are nothing more than childish pathetic foot stamping tactics.'

Look. We've been through this.

You keep telling us we're childish and foot-stamping.Without ever engaging with our well-supported arguments.

We've explained why we find this stereotyping and dismissal of our views offensive.

We have explained that we have informed, reasoned and factually-supported objections to you and your parties politics. Your repeated assertions that these objections are childish, foot-stomping etc do not convince us otherwise.

You are swilling out the last traces of credibility UKIP has on this thread. Do NF a favour and pop along back to the British Democracy Forum, there's a love.

LessNarkyPuffin · 24/02/2011 14:40

You're arguing with a poster whose sole history is this thread.

CaptainNancy · 24/02/2011 14:42

youknow rinse- maybe if you could actually post links people would have more chance of watching your propaganda. You've posted urls, and most people mn during the day on phones, so cannot c&p into a browser.
But you'd actually know that if you were a mner, wouldn't you?

HHLimbo · 24/02/2011 14:43

This whole thread provides a VERY GOOD REASON why we should all be very interested and GET INVOLVED in the EU elections.

Thank you Mumsnet!

Rinseoffmycustard · 24/02/2011 14:44

But you haven't produced any evidence to him being racist or sexist and you are the one making the claim and failing to back it up, it's not that I wont have a sensible discussion with you.

cakeywakey · 24/02/2011 14:45

Rinseoff, I don't understand why you've Pm'd me. I won't be answering it as I have no interest in engaging in a discussion with you.

Rinseoffmycustard · 24/02/2011 14:45

Are you incapable of copying and pasting?

GeekLove · 24/02/2011 14:45

whilst I am grateful that NF answered my question I guess I should not been surprised that he didn't answer the main thrust that illegal labour is vital to certain sectors, rather that our borders are too open. Perhaps that might be due the fact that a lot of dodgy employers would not employ legit migrants/british citizens since the thought of employing people who know their rights makes their blood run cold (not to mention denting their profit margins).

fathercandle · 24/02/2011 14:46

Rinseoff, I'm pretty sure I've proven he's happy to say things that are demonstrably false, though.

UnquietDad · 24/02/2011 14:46

Can this go on the "Most popular" section entitled "Farage gets a barrage" ? Just a suggestion for free.

Rinseoffmycustard · 24/02/2011 14:47
It's not hard.
DamselInDisguise · 24/02/2011 14:51

Rinse has been PMing me too.

you tube videos are not evidence, unless you're a media studies student writing an essay about the significance of lol cats in contemporary cultures.

Rinseoffmycustard · 24/02/2011 14:53

Nice one, you don't like it therefore the source is wrong.

DamselInDisguise · 24/02/2011 14:55

No, rinseoff, there is a hierarchy of sources of information. Unreviewed, user-generated content is not high in it.

There is loads of actual, rigorous, peer reviewed research about the EU out there.

claig · 24/02/2011 14:58

That video is nonsense. It implies that France is in the lead within Europe in placating Arab muslims. That is nonsense. Haven't you heard that Sarkozy banned the burka?

DollyTwat · 24/02/2011 14:58

Rinseoff even NF found you embarrassing
now that's saying something

Rinseoffmycustard · 24/02/2011 15:02

I know, did you read when he wrote "I find Rinseoff embarrassing", classic wasn't it.

Rinseoffmycustard · 24/02/2011 15:04

claig - that doesn't change the fact that paedophilia is now legally the same as homosexuality, and that is in Britain as well since our constitution is the Lisbon treaty.

DamselInDisguise · 24/02/2011 15:07

Oh rinseoff, paedophillia is illegal, homosexuality is most definitely not. Please do check your facts.

BarbaraSeville · 24/02/2011 15:08

Eh? I think there is a village missing an idiot.
