Douglas Carswell: UKIP needs a 'fresh face' as leader
Discussion
Can't see Carswell being in UKIP much longer - the only question is what will happen first, will he jump or will he be pushed?
article said:
Despite appearing at the Vote Leave fringe event this morning, Mr Carswell was not scheduled to address Ukip’s main conference.
When asked if he was disappointed that the party’s only MP had not appeared in the venue, Mr Farage said: “Who?”
When reminded of Mr Carswell identity, he said: “I remember, I met him once”
“I couldn’t careless, I’m not interested. We’ve got the biggest set of elections we’ve ever had to fight across the United Kingdom, a referendum. I’m out on the road, doing my stuff, I’ve got a party that is wildly enthusiastic to do all these things. He can do what he likes, I don’t care. I’ve got time, I’m not interested”.

You're the toddler in the nursery, satsuma!
I saw your username and immediately thought, 'what's he found now?'
How many bloody hours in a day do you keep 'searching, searching, searching' for kipper snippets?
FFS man (toddler?) get a life! Go out in the fresh air. You are obsessive. You need help.
Get the book 'Cracked', it has your condition in it.

You really do keep your eyes peeled don't you? Quite ironic that orange grass is also known as nitweed.linky

Lol, name calling? Really?
To search and post the latest in an increasingly long list of UKIP f
k-ups took less than 2 minutes. It really isnt difficult to find the latest mess that Farage is making.

let me guess, it's somewhat more than just about every other party, and more specifically, UKIP.

Feel free to post them whenever they occur. In the meantime I'll keep this thread going, I'm sure there will be more fun and games before the referendum.so, just how many Tories have been locked up, thrown out the party, done some pretty despicable things, etc etc etc?

Seeing that there is interest in how much time I spend scouring the net for items, I promise not to spend more than 10 minutes a week doing so.
Farage : "It's my party sunshine, it's my way or it's the highway!"
Carswell : (thinks) "I'd better try loosening more wheel nuts next time..."

It's stuff about the rivalry between Farage and Carswell (or, more accurately, the rivalry between Farage and anybody not worshipping at the altar of Farage). Why is posting about it, in a thread specifically ABOUT the rivalry between Farage and Carswell "obsessive"? I saw your username and immediately thought, 'what's he found now?'

Are you upset because it makes Farage look petty and power-mad?

You're just upset because Nigel has got what he has spent all of his political life fighting for. A referendum.linky

This June, we will vote to leave the EU, and Nigel will have triumphed.

My point was satsuma 'has' to be searching for kipper snippets. FM he finds these stories before a hardened kipper does!!
He says he spends 10 mins doing it. Yeah, every 10 mins in every day!
Upset?
My life has other far more important things in it.
At least we have a Referendum coming. Thanks to Farage. Do you really think or believe CMD wanted one?
At least I can bank on satsuma being there first with the Kipper news and keeping this thread going, instead of ignoring it, which any sane anti would do.
As for power mad Farage, I'd have a look at the other parties if I were you. They all want 'power'.
Tell us who you voted for?
Nah, don't bother I can guess.

If you're not upset why are you bothered if TS spent 10 minutes / hours / weeks searching? FWIW I think this thread is of more interest to the anti-Kippers than the KipperLovers, watching the infighting, resignations, unresignations, and sackings is funny.My point was satsuma 'has' to be searching for kipper snippets.

None of the others promised to resign and then unresigned. None of the others consider all their MPs to be irrelevant. Farage is unique in that respect.In my opinion he's quite bitter because he's fought for a referendum for so long and now he's no longer the centre of the anti-EU movement.

really?based on exactly what?
he IS the out campaign, period.
you can go on about Boris, or IDS, etc but Farage is the most recognised anti-EU figure out there.
who else can fill public meetings like he can? - infact, note that Boris has not even tried, like he's doing some silent campaign (and his performance on the Marr show was not great either).

Calling the MP 'irrelevant' is rather harsh language.linky

I've got a lot of time for Carswell, thinking he is one of the more astute, rounded and well researched of our current crop of 'name' politicians, but I was very disappointed with him today on The Sunday Politics. Steadfastly refusing, repeatedly, to accept the correctness of Neill's point on the rebate make him seem like all the rest.
Saying it was fair to mention the figure quoted pre-rebate as it isn't guaranteed and to raise attention to that is fair enough, but he kept using terms like "... what we send.. each week." even when demonstrated to be wrong .It must be awkward to be nailed on a point commonly made, but he could have handled it better by accepting Neil's figures and shifting the ground used to that uncertainty/control aspect to explain its repetition, which would have seemed more honest.

Jeremy Corbyn fills public meetings. In fact the similarities are obvious, a loud and passionate fan base sick of non authentic politics convinced that their echo chamber is a majority, reviled by some and ignored by everyone else.based on exactly what?
