The Cult Of Farage - Hero's Welcome In the US

[claig]

They love him in the States just like we do here!

"Nigel Farage was among his fans in the US.

"He's awesome and cool," 20-year-old Alain Robert told Sky News.

Political writer Randy Foreman was even more gushing saying the UKIP leader had all the appeal of James Bond.

"He's absolutely a fantastic politician. We just don't have them here like that in the United States."

We don't have 'em like that here, apart from the legend that is Farage

"Mr Farage's YouTube videos berating European bureaucrats and taking on the might of Westminster have made him something of a cult figure on the right of American politics.

So organisers of the biggest political event of the year for US conservatives, the Conservative Political Action Conference just outside Washington DC, invited him this year instead of a British conservative politician - a break with tradition."

There are no British Conservative politicians left. They are all a progressive Oxbridge joke, the People's Army will free us from their PPE yoke.

It is a shame Farage wasn't born in the States because they'd make him President without a doubt. I guess we're lucky that he is UK only, so that he will be PM here one day.

Just heard it, don't know what it is about

"Stig Abell, managing editor of The Sun, tweeted that the suspension followed an investigation by the newspaper.

The Sun reported tonight that it had secretly filmed a member of her staff plotting to make a 'substantial bogus expenses claim.'

Hmm. Establishment?

If the Establishment don't stop UKIP, then their whole climate change game is up. It's panic stations in Establishment HQ. The best teenagers from Oxbridge have been drafted in to help. It's desperate. Time is runnning out and the entire Climate Change Act is at stake.

'Helmer said a Ukip government would immediately repeal the Climate Change Act'

Who said politics wasn't interesting? We have seen nothing like the People's Army ever and the Establishment are running around in circles phoning, texting, messaging and megaphoning every teenage whizz kid available.

Don't feed the UKIP!

"Awesome and cool"?! according to a 20-year-old American on Nigel Farage (it's in the OP).

Thank God I brought mine up better than for him to ever imagine people like Farage et al could ever be "awesome OR cool"!!

"Why the political class is so scared of Farage

In the electoral successes of UKIP, Britain’s political elite glimpses its own creeping irrelevance and out-of-touchness.
...
The roots of this insecurity are not hard to fathom. Isolated and deracinated, today’s main political parties are terrified of one thing in particular: the people, and those whom they support. To the modern Tory and Labour parties, popularity, grounded as they see it in the ‘prejudices’ of the people, is to be feared, not embraced. Hence in the shape of UKIP, they don’t see democracy, but demagoguery.
...
Given the political elite’s fear that the UKIP vote represents something dangerously popular, it is not surprising that there has been a tendency willfully to underestimate the intellectual capacities of UKIP voters.
...
the vote for UKIP signalled something more profound; the public’s general rejection of the political class, and the political-class outlook, as a whole. This was a vote against the immigration-rigging cosmopolitanism of the political elite, its cross-party embrace of European institutions, and its seeming opposition to the people.
...
in other ways they are right to be concerned. Not by UKIP itself, which would no doubt happily be co-opted into the Westminster village, but by the deep-seated and increasingly popular rejection embodied by UKIP of everything the political class stands for."

There is nothing they can do. Their teenagers won't be able to help them. No one listens to their spin any more. They patronized and ignored the people for years and now the people have rejected them, their entire climate game will end in tears.

The more the elite and their BBC cry panic over climate change and the polar bear, the more the people laugh. They are at a loss of what to do, their think tanks and charidees no longer influence the people. They are the elite who cried wolf and now the UKIP fox is at the door of the Westminster hen house and there are feathers everywhere.

If the Americans like him that much, they're welcome to take him off our hands.

You seem to have rather a chip on your shoulder about Oxbridge, OP, but you're apparently less bothered about Farage's public school background. Why is that? Is elitism ok if your parents can pay for it?

'You seem to have rather a chip on your shoulder about Oxbridge, OP'

Absolutely not. I think Oxbridge is a fantastic institution. I am highlighting that nearly all of the political class and the great and the good are selected and promoted by the Establishment from there. The people know it is a stitch-up and the people are not represented by these servants of the elite.

'but you're apparently less bothered about Farage's public school background. Why is that?'

Because Farage is on the people's side and not on the elite's side which is why they are so terrified of him.

'Is elitism ok if your parents can pay for it?'

There is nothing wrong with elitism if it serves the people, but everything wrong if an elite class is selected and promoted to serve the elite rather than the people.

"The roots of this insecurity are not hard to fathom. Isolated and deracinated, today’s main political parties are terrified of one thing in particular: the people"

Because Farage is on the people's side and not on the elite's side which is why they are so terrified of him.

He is not on my side. Not at all. And I'm not one of the elite by any stretch of the imagination.

"Through his barnstorming performance Farage has not only brought new credibility and popularity to the UK Independence Party but has also given a highly articulate voice to large swathes of the public who feel betrayed by our arrogant metropolitan elite.

The impact of Farage’s triumph was revealed in opinion polls at the weekend that showed a surge in support for Ukip
...
Labour tries to cover its attacks on the working class with endless anti-Tory, toffbashing rhetoric. But this class war language is deeply hypocritical, for Labour is awash with privilege. Leading frontbenchers Ed Balls and Tristram Hunt went to private schools while Miliband is a property millionaire who went to Oxford. Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman, niece of the Countess of Longford, was sent to St Paul’s, while Paul Nuttall, Ukip deputy leader, was educated at a secondary school.

Enveloped in politically correct ideology Labour can no longer claim to be the party of the people. That is why Miliband should be terrified of Ukip’s rise."

The rise of UKIP is historic because it signals tha the people have had enough. They understand the game, they know about the stitch-up, they know we have always been run by this select class from Oxbridge that the Establishment promotes. But now it's over, everything is about to change. All the spin, the climate change game, the charidees, the foreign aid spending etc are all going to have to change because the people are rejecting the whole lot.

How many UKIP members have been suspended so far?

18 UKIP Councillors (including 2 council group leaders),
15 Candidates,
1 National Secretary,
1 Youth Secretary,
1 UKIP Scotland Chair,
1 Spokesperson,
1 entire local branch,
1 local committee

3 MEPs have been suspended from the party solely during this parliament.

And they disowned their entire 2010 election manifesto.

The 2010 manifesto that Farage signed and launched at Westminster.

And one UKIP general election candidate has just resigned citing "open racism and sanctimonious bullying" within the party.

Another expulsion

"Janice Atkinson expelled from Ukip over expenses allegations"

www.itv.com/news/story/2015-03-23/janice-atkinson-expelled-from-ukip-over-expenses-allegations/

I wonder if this means she will start paying the large amount of child support she owes now?

I also wonder if MNHQ might consider giving you your own topic claig? Then you can copy/paste your long, boring screeds to your hearts content without bothering the people who enjoy discussing things.

Good idea

Same with Isitmebut - he should be given a 'Tory HQ Propaganda' thread.

Absolutely.... go try and get one claig, then we can all hide it and you can waffle to yourself. Hell, it's not like you ever actually listen to anyone else now, is it?

And yy for isitmebut.... dull dull dull.

' it's not like you ever actually listen to anyone else now, is it?'

I'm sorry you're miffed that I don't listen to you, but to me, what you say just seems like politically correct New Labour speak. But times have changed and the Gordon Brown bluster no longer wins votes.

There's panic in Westminster, panic in Cameron's inne circle and panic in every politically correct poster's posts. The people's revolution continues!

Um, no.

I'm working class, and I can tell you now that Farage does not represent me or mine - or any of my friends/family/colleagues.

Everyone I've spoken to (working class or not) finds him odious, repulsive and, frankly, scary.

And you come across like one of those nutters with a tin-foil hat! I gave up reading your cut-and-paste nonsense after about two posts because you sound completely demented. I have friends in America and American friends here - Farage has made no impression on Americans other than 'what a fucking prickwit that man is'.

If you're a prime example of a UKIP support then I don't need to worry about them - your talk of The People and witterings about The Establishment will make the party even more of a laughing stock than it already is.

'Ill-disciplined rabble in anti-Farage protest'

www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/mar/24/ill-disciplined-rabble-in-anti-farage-protest

Havent read the whole article, but doubtless it is the 1922 Committee, Cameron's chumocracy and the Tory backbenchers up to their usual tricks again.

'I gave up reading your cut-and-paste nonsense after about two posts'

If you wish to remain in la-la land and not learn the truth, then you are entitled to join Cameron and the 1922 Committee.

"Everyone I've spoken to (working class or not) finds him odious, repulsive and, frankly, scary."

You need to meet people outside of the Bullingdon Club and the North London New Labour appreciation society. There is a people's revolution going on and Cameron nd the 1922 Committee are panicking.

If Sean Hannity's prescient prediction does not come to pass, I'll eat my tin-foil hat.

You need to meet people outside of the Bullingdon Club and the North London New Labour appreciation society. There is a people's revolution going on and Cameron nd the 1922 Committee are panicking.

Yeah. I'm from Birmingham. Nice generalising there though.

And if you think I'm voting Cameron, you must be kidding.

Stop talking about the People and the Revolution. You sound like Citizen Smith. It's embarrassing.

PS - Fox News are seen as a joke by intelligent Americans. Fox News recently pulled out an 'expert' who claimed that 'Birmingham, UK, is a no-go area for white people'. Fox News is not a credible news channel, you dimwit.
