You win and nobody cares but you. Imagine you’ve been patted on the head and told what a clever boy you are.
I wasn't aware it was a competition?

Feel better now?
Surely the question should be, "do you feel better", given that you've only joined the thread to have a go at me?!

Mx5nut posting ignorant generalisations about 'Brexiters'. How surprising!

Sorry to disturb, but any views on Farage and the apparent misuse of funds?

I'm sure that some politicians will use the rules as far as possible - it looks as though Farage might have pushed too far and (if so) will rightly be punished for that. Whether it's quite as black and white as made out, I doubt we'll ever know.

I'm also sure that the EU would (understandably) be very keen to catch out Farage and potentially be more likely to 'look the other way' if the same issues had occurred with a pro-EU MEP.

Please accept my condolences.
No thanks. But if you're going to attempt an insult, at least learn how to spell.

It serves two purposes: Firstly, it heads off the accusation that metro elite hand wringing liberals like me like to bandy about that UKIP fanbois are a bit under educated
(fail on that one, obvs) & secondly it helps us to stop laughing at you when I cast my mind back a week or so when you mocked another poster & gleefully egged on your kippy mates too, for spelling 'ridiculous' 'rediculous'. silly
Ah bless, my correction of another posters spelling stuck in your craw so much that you not only remembered it a week or so after, but actually got offended on another's behalf.
You poor old virtue signalling thing you. crycrycry

Btw, you obviously are not smart enough to notice my misspelling of your nemesis.

And how long do you expect us to wait for you to prove that huge accusation before we just assume it is just more attempts to make Farage's acts seem less serious?

Smiler.

Somewhat surprised that some posters seem not to have worked it out by now.

BV & the others have at the moment their tits permanently in a twist. This may be a terminal condition once Brexit occurs.

They obviously haven't got enough of a rise out of people in real life or elsewhere on social media so this is where it lands.


For normal people, Farage is just one more iffy politician in a sea of corrupt ones. That's life really.

Yes, it seems that he's about to be (rightly) hoisted by his own petard.

Yes, it seems he's a two-faced tt.

Yes, a lot of people backed his mix of fact & fiction.

Nothing new in politics.



If the "opposition" had a bit more of the truth & a bit less of the lies, then he probably wouldn't exist.

Only those with an obsession will prioritise him in everything thing they say & do, be that praise or derision.

smile


PS: someone asked for the name of an honest politician. I'd go with Frank Field. There are a few others.

You can wait as long a you like, you can assume what you like, but you'll probably be wrong. Again.

However, I'd be surprised if anyone genuinely believes that Farage is popular amongst senior EU officials and that they wouldn't want to discipline him if he crossed the line.

Guess he shouldn't have crossed it then.

I'm not sure anyone has said that he should, or has defended his actions?

Perhaps that is because you treat all Leaver voters as Farrage or Ukip supporters.
An opinion that was blatantly disproved by Ukip's performance in the last GE.
You yourself are one of the most vocal ,when it comes to insulting others
that hold opposing views. So fk you and your victim card you raving hippocrite.

A hippocrite. earlier today.

Seems to be doing more roving than raving IMO.

As I posted earlier is the Guardian only posting about right wing people who broke the rules in the story, or has it only been anti-EU people investigated?

Farage should get everything thrown at him, but it does seem like there was bias if it was only anti-EU people who got done.
