Live webchat with UKIP leader Nigel Farage, Thurs 24 Feb, 1-2pm

[KatieMumsnet]

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.

who do you think he was referring to then?

Rinseoff what does that actually mean? 'paedophilia is legally the same as homosexuality'

It's devoid of actual meaning. Fear mongering blah blah. In what way, legally, are they the same?

Rinseoff, you are a credit to your party. With electoral assets like you doing such sterling work here, NF's job has been made so much easier hasn't it? He must be delighted to have you as one of his number.

And now you've conflated paedophilia with homosexuality.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Rinseoff, the Bigot's Bigot...

Rinse "I know lots of the arguments on here are very emotionally provocative like accusations that he supports under-age prostitution etc."

Evidence or STFU!

Really interested to know what you think your little soundbite means, rinseoff

p.s lol at you

Oh. You don't know what it means. I guess you heard it from somewhere and thought it sounded a bit scary so now you just spout it at every opportunity.

I agree with Barbara.

Methinks my question was 100% sidestepped. Am I being unreasonable to think that this is because he has not achieved anything as an MEP, not even attempted to, and has no plans to do anything in the next 3 years either? Please rebuke me if I am too harsh.

Um, I do know what it means and I'm not sad enough to parrot things, thanks for the compliment though!

google it and see if you find any matches to any speech

So... what does it mean?

In what way, legally, is paedophilia the same as homosexuality?

'Despise the oestrogen out of you'. What a lovely woman-hating phrase for someone to use

Godfrey, is that you?

oh dear, Rinseoff, you're not winning many voters are you?
You do realise that was the purpose of this web chat don't you?

Ironically, rinseoff has repeatedly asked for evidence that he is sexist in PMs.

Psammead - have you watched the video or are you too stupid to understand it?

Oh, because you were all open minded and eager weren't you, and I don't actually waste my votes on him anyway.

Elated - yep, what a thoroughly useless idiot we have representing us.

Ok MNers, who is going to stand for MEP at the next elections?

The EU needs you! (ps should be fairly easy, as we have seen from this thread the standard is not high)

I thought he did well - he has a lot of sensible things to say.

It's a shame so few people on here have neither the courage to move away from the herd nor the intellect to understand the issues at hand.

Plus £1m over 5 years in pay/allowances Mr Farage says!

Yes I have watched it. I understand that it is telling me that paedophilia is not explictly prohibited in one part of the treaty ( although it is in others) in order to placate muslims, because they all think paedophilia is fine.

What I do not understand is how paedophilia is now legally the same as homosexuality, which was your statement. Evidentely they are not the same.

I didn't see any questions posed by you NoSuch- please do enlighten us about the issues at hand- I'll get my husband to explain it to me when he comes home this evening.
