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.

Complimentary, if you read the guidelines at the top of the thread, you'll see that each poster is only allowed ONE question.

Rannaldini,

We already have a 'right to keep arms', as enshrined in our 1689 Bill of Rights.

"And, as a North American, most of us haven't heard of UKIP either."

That's because you don't associate with the right people. Alex Jones' audience know who we are. We've had three of our great UKIP men on his show on numerous occasions. Lord Monckton is particularly well known as respected all over the world.

American Mormons that I speak to absolutely love Nigel for his verbal attack on van Rumpuy et al. They say that they would much rather have someone like Nigel as their president than the Kenyan born CFR member president that they have at the moment.

UKIP emplooyees can be mothers and post here can't they? Many quite openly say they work for the Tory party. Labour Party, don't they? So why not say you've joined and work for UKIP works both ways!

OK midnightexpress they can choose any one of my questions!

complimentary · 23/02/2011 12:39

'employees'

AitchTwoOh · 23/02/2011 12:39

@MmeLindt

MNHQ
Can you delete this thread and start a new one with only members allowed to post if they have been on MN for at least a month?

This is ridiculous. And it is doing Nigel Farage no favours either.

Hello all. Just to let you know that we have suspended new regs till after Mr Farage's webchat.

FluffyMummy123 · 23/02/2011 12:42

did you see their BOOTS?

AitchTwoOh · 23/02/2011 12:43

i can smell them too, cod. [highly suggestible]

FluffyMummy123 · 23/02/2011 12:44

FluffyMummy123 · 23/02/2011 12:52

Rannaldini · 23/02/2011 12:56

Okay but our rights to possess firearms with a very few exceptions and only in tightly controlled circumstances are very limited

why did you bring up being pro-gun?

are there gun policies that you would like to see amended?

Rannaldini · 23/02/2011 12:58

oi codderoo

i wanted to talk to that gentleman about gun legislation
you have bullied he and his compadres away with your stylish talk

MmeLindt · 23/02/2011 13:02

What is CFR member? Is that a reference to OBama?

And why "Kenyan born"? He is american.

Weirder and weirder.

MmeLindt · 23/02/2011 13:02

Thanks, MNHQ for suspending registrations.

FluffyMummy123 · 23/02/2011 13:08

OH MY GOD

Mormonkris · 23/02/2011 13:09

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

FluffyMummy123 · 23/02/2011 13:11

oh this is all a big myth
i like the idea that mrs obama senior had the prescience of mind to FORGE a birth certificate just in case her newborn wanted to become president

FluffyMummy123 · 23/02/2011 13:12

anyway
i think the US BORN bit of their constitution is ridiculous

FluffyMummy123 · 23/02/2011 13:12

( am sure like most of us mrs Obaama was snivelling into her pyjamas somewhere post natally)

Ah, true colors showing now.

Lol at Mrs Obama forging the vpbirth certificate. I forged my DD's so that DD could become president of France. Also did an American and Canadian one to be on the safe side.
