"Cant do any worse than cammo has the tax dodging fucker lol" Do you really believe he could lead us and come across well to other leaders? He's been happy enough to be an MEP hasn't he ? Despite never turning up he's taken that salary. Did Cameron turn up for work more often? | |||

"Petulant child throwing a tantrum for attention, it's all about the Nigel show." It was embarrassing. Looked like the kid at school who thinks he's funny whilst the class laughs at him instead of with him | |||

well he was in good company wasn't he"How so? Because the jeered him I assume? I see what you mean but it's tame compared to the childish antics seen in the commons. They mainly jeered him when he insulted them or claimed he could negotiation free market access without freedom of movement. | |||

"I saw people whining on Facebook about how he was treated with the boos and heckles. I watched the speech and I have to say they let him off lightly after his comments. Saying they'd never worked a day in their lives etc. No wonder they laughed when he claimed we could access the single market without freedom of movement. The man is dinosaur from a £10k a year private school. He's cut from the same right wing, elitist cloth so many exit voters seem to despise. He's a toff who drinks a pint and smokes a fag and parades as a man of the people. I've flushed shits more relevant and relatable than this crotch faced amoeba " The sodding "never worked a day in your lifes" bit riled me, like I had to pause the TV and leave the room. How does he have the cheek after stashing the pay from the fisheries commission, only to turn up once. Not to mention UKIP basically used the European parliament as a chance to heckle other MEP's and make Britain look like that bratty child. To think he got paid for that. | |||

So if his joy at achieving his one ambition in life and what he sees as the freedom of the country he loves went to his head then allow him his Schadenfreude, his joy and his revenge on the creeps sat around him in that monstrosity that is an insult to then word democracy. I am no 'kipper' by any means being a lifelong Tory but to me Farage is a total legend and without him the country I love and served would not be a free country again .... | |||

"Yes Farage was so useless as a politician he forced a sitting Prime Minister to call a referendum refused by his predecessors since 1975 on the EU; make the mistake of backing that EU; then losing both the Referendum and his job.

Though, the fact that he has not communicated with the rest of the leave campaign and now is whining about how negotiations aren't in our favour, show he is not good at actually being a politician. Just at shouting and marketing/pitching a cause to the public. Anyone can set up their own party for gods sake. You just need enough support and donors, and if you know how to appeal to people with buzzwords and a few stats you'll get that. Just look at the list of political parties in the UK. | |||

"Not really, you are just typing words. A better way to end this would be to actually show me how I am wrong. Else people will never learn how you are supposedly right on this matter." So what part of Farage has achieved his life's ambition and persuaded over 17 million British people to follow his lead do you not quite understand Old Son? The man has defeated the might of the EU, Establishment, Banksters and the British Government! Maybe if you stopped playing the man and discussed the arguments I would have more time for you. But then that is what people like you and others on here have done with Farage. You abuse and denigrate the man to try and defeat his politics which you can't because his politics are shared (apparently) with a majority of British people... You may be at University but if you are studying pan-European stuff you are clearly wasting your time because your mind is closed to anything that does not fit your personal prejudices. And why it was older people like me who know better than young people like you what this EU monstrosity is actually all about. Because we have seen what it was like before the EU political project took off in the late '90s. And why we are better off out of it. | |||

Because we have seen what it was like before the EU political project took off in the late '90s. And why we are better off out of it." Right well for a start I said I was part of a pan-European research project - I never actually said what I was studying and working on, I'm actually researching medical applications of biological nanotechnology. So, I'm not really closed in a mindset, most of the researchers are from all over the EU, but we also have a lot of researchers and students from Japan, Singapore and South Korea. So don't make my work an attempt at pulling me into some European Superstate crap. Secondly, a lot of people out there voted leave despite hating what Farage stands for, privatisation and a capitalist society being one. Talk to the labour voters in places where I live, old steel working and pitt towns, they don't support Farage, if anything Denis Skinner and Corbyn's history of not liking the EU got most of my street on the out vote. I actually did discuss the arguments with a lot of people, hence why I was not set in my decisions from the start. It was always going to be a case of working out the latter of two evils. Campaign for a better EU or try to make the best out of a crappy (depending on political orientation) British political system and set up. Most people I spoke to who were going vote out, wanted to vote out to shake up parliament - not to support Farage. He had simply given them an opportunity to do so. In short, don't take an out vote for support of Farage. As for you being older and having more experience, I'll give you that, though, I'd like to know how often you looked at EU legislation from the source. | |||

P.s, nothing wrong with him achieving his personal ambition, but when it's on a slim majority public vote of recommendation there is. | |||

Also, I actually don't want to been seen as abusing Farage, I'm simply criticising him. If he is going to be a professional politician then he has to accept a lot of unpopular public ridicule. What a lot of Farage lovers out there need to understand is that he is at his core, fairly Thatcherite, he supported her policies in his youth an outside of the EU his policies reflect that. Not all of the votes for out represent support for his political ideals. | |||

"Has it struck anyone else a little wierd that he married a German woman in 1999 who was able to live in the Uk under the Freedom of Movement granted by the EU... who he now employs as his secretary? I wonder if she still has a German passport??" Why weird? We can't help who we fall in love with. Or maybe Farage is different because he is Farage? You confuse 'Free Movement of Labour' (which is the actual 'freedom' in the '4 Freedoms') with free movement of people. Foreigners have been able to come to the UK, live here and God forbid even marry here for generations. Yes even including those nasty Germans... Would you be making these comments if she had been an American? And why shouldn't he employ his wife? 90% of politicians employ their wives or family members because they have absolute trust in them. Plus I doubt an employed PA would do the hours and travelling needed. But it would be perfectly fine if she had been English of course ...  | |||

Maybe, just maybe, Farage was having a dig at them because he had worked as a trader in the city of London before he went into politics. Most of those MEP's on the gravy train in the European parliament are career politicians who have never had any other job in their entire lives. | |||

Because we have seen what it was like before the EU political project took off in the late '90s. And why we are better off out of it. Right well for a start I said I was part of a pan-European research project - I never actually said what I was studying and working on, I'm actually researching medical applications of biological nanotechnology. So, I'm not really closed in a mindset, most of the researchers are from all over the EU, but we also have a lot of researchers and students from Japan, Singapore and South Korea. So don't make my work an attempt at pulling me into some European Superstate crap. Secondly, a lot of people out there voted leave despite hating what Farage stands for, privatisation and a capitalist society being one. Talk to the labour voters in places where I live, old steel working and pitt towns, they don't support Farage, if anything Denis Skinner and Corbyn's history of not liking the EU got most of my street on the out vote. I actually did discuss the arguments with a lot of people, hence why I was not set in my decisions from the start. It was always going to be a case of working out the latter of two evils. Campaign for a better EU or try to make the best out of a crappy (depending on political orientation) British political system and set up. Most people I spoke to who were going vote out, wanted to vote out to shake up parliament - not to support Farage. He had simply given them an opportunity to do so. In short, don't take an out vote for support of Farage. As for you being older and having more experience, I'll give you that, though, I'd like to know how often you looked at EU legislation from the source."
Well said - that was an intelligent and well reasoned response to a patronising load of old twaddle and inverted snobbery. | |||

"Has it struck anyone else a little wierd that he married a German woman in 1999 who was able to live in the Uk under the Freedom of Movement granted by the EU... who he now employs as his secretary? I wonder if she still has a German passport?? Why weird? We can't help who we fall in love with. Or maybe Farage is different because he is Farage? You confuse 'Free Movement of Labour' (which is the actual 'freedom' in the '4 Freedoms') with free movement of people. Foreigners have been able to come to the UK, live here and God forbid even marry here for generations. Yes even including those nasty Germans... Would you be making these comments if she had been an American? And why shouldn't he employ his wife? 90% of politicians employ their wives or family members because they have absolute trust in them. Plus I doubt an employed PA would do the hours and travelling needed. But it would be perfectly fine if she had been English of course ... "If we're going to be prissy and educational the actual freedom in the four freedoms is "Free movement of persons" not the free movement of labour and it includes that "Freedom of movement for workers shall be secured within the Union" or "within the community" in the original treaty of Rome. You never know when it could crop up in a pub quiz and I'd hate to think of you losing a point, Chalk old son.

Also as you've seen in the responses so far a selection of sentimental old romantics feel that love conquers all. | |||

The conversations improved greatly ... "I loved that bit above where you were dishing out the personal stuff: "You may be at University but if you are studying pan-European stuff you are clearly wasting your time because your mind is closed to anything that does not fit your personal prejudices. And why it was older people like me who know better than young people like you..." Of course older people like me know better than young people like you. | |||
