"Jeremy Corbyn lookalike"

To be fair he's more credible - he's still barking - just not quite as barking

5 mins later

Scratch that - he's as nuts as Corbyn

He had a good first half, thought he came across very well with some good points.

He blew it in the second half though!

Lidington - wonk, appears slightly mad, not a communicator
Stuart - "grandmother" drinking competition ' take back control' take a shot.
Non politician - at least she's not another comedian
Mason - used to like him on Newsnight but lately he comes across a bit excitable, bordering on mad
Banks - bit slimey, is he still in ukip? Thought he was threatening to start a new party with the names on his Leave.EU database.

Interesting that Mason and Banks agreed that a cap is required on top earners, but differ on how to tackle this bad situation that is only getting worse.

Why is it a bad situation? It doesn't matter a tinker's toss how much other people earn as long the majority are fairly rewarded for their labours. If there were a cap, what difference would it make to you and the rest of us? There would be a serious drop in tax take, that's for sure.

The man on the street doesn't give a toss what Wayne Rooney earns or, indeed, the CEO of BA. What worries the man on the street is what is in his own wage packet at the end of the week/month.

The wage cap issue is an Islington socialist concern.

Yes and no. Ordinary working people can actually be very appreciative of success - as Americans certainly are - but there is always the tension of envy politics, even if people are paid 'fairly' (according to the market) for their labours. For some of the highest paid, there is almost an absurdity to the numbers - earnings to great people cannot comprehend them and, thereby, the situation is alien and open to attack.

So Arron Banks is a thoroughly nice guy, not Alt Right at all in fact came across very liberal, not sure if it was an act, i hope not, he's nothing like Farage.
Also he said when he met Trump, Trump was talking about how he can redistribute wealth to the poor...very 'leftie'... and Arron Banks went on to say that its not fair how much wealth those at the top end have and we need a new way of doing things.....funny old world... In the end the was sounding a bit like Corbyn.
This must really play havock with the Ukippers minds..if they have one.

Maybe a lot of UKIPers held similar views and the only thing really uniting them was a dislike of the terms of our EU membership.

Which might blow apart the minds of those with an unceasing desire to pigeon hole people as stupid or racist?

(From a non-UKIP voter... Just throwing it out there and suggesting you might have some thinking shortfalls/blinkers yourself )

Stop being so PC snowflake.

Even Trump realises that there's no point being super-rich in a land where the too-poor will be out to assassinate him, so his plan to distribute just enough wealth to the proletariat to keep them dormant makes perfect sense.

He was quite interesting - comments about unearned income being a major problem were a bit lost towards the end.

Quite, but bit of an excuse though considering when 'lefties' say it the Alt Right go into a lather.
Also it is the reason then the welfare state is good, give the poor money so they don't turn to stealing and stuff like something out of Mad Max.
Suddenly now Trump says it he's heralded as a free thinking genius...
Apart from the controversial sound bites to get the dense red necks voting Trump is quite center in a lot of his views if you go back over the years he's quite center left in aspects.
I hope Arron Banks starts his own party, I was very pleasantly surprised by how he came across and loved that he was having a great laugh with the women next to him.

Sounds like it's played more havock with yours. I guess that's what happens if all you read is fake news, then actually listen to the source
