You are right of course. There is a strange fascination in obtaining glimpses into the tiny minded, fear and hate filled world views of the ignorant right wingers who inhabit this place. It's a weird guilty pleasure, but a waste of time of course.
Was it a Burgundy lunch today, BV?Good to see you on top form, in any event.

Classic, Eu judge material. You should apply for a post with them.dandarez said:
Farage is history (said it many times in the last year). Job done. 
The job, of course, isn't 'done'. There's still lots of options as the full consequences of brexit become clearer. As for Farage being being history, one wonders what history will make of this period. The initial 'reporting' phase will depend on the pov of the source.
One question is whether Farage milked the media or he was seen by the (foreign) owners of most of our media as a route out of the control of the EU. I've got the feeling that our kids and grandkids will be bemused as to why 'so many' followed such a transparent fantasist.
I think that history will deal rather perfunctorily with Cameron, but then some of us might feel that this would have happened regardless of the brexit vote.
Johnson and Gove; what will the history books say about them? Two blokes whose careers lacked any success stories, although I thought Gove might have found his niche as SoS for Justice, a pov reinforced by his evanescent replacement. Answers on a sheet of toilet paper.
May - inept May; much will depend on the outcome of the negotiations. But not being able to sack a man who apologised for not being able to predict winter, let alone having to place a clown in one of the great offices of state, will probably give rise to bemusement.
Farage is history. Living through the period means that it is impossible to say whether he was a leader or just some guy who was around at the time.
I have the feeling he'll be lucky to get a footnote.

I haven't had a drink for over a week, but might have one soon. I have waited in all afternoon for some rude idiot to come and kick the tyres of a car I am selling, but he was a no show and didn't call or email. Good to see you on top form, in any event.

Have you tried WBAS?I'd make tonight a two-bottler. Steady the nerves.

As opposed to the ignorant left wingers?Breadvan72 said:
It's a weird guilty pleasure, but a waste of time of course, and I am sure that most of them are just as vile in real life as their opinions here indicate them to be.
You think that you don't come across as a vile individual?!

In a way, I sort of feel sorry for them, as their worlds are so narrow, and they are prey to every passing charlatan who sets out to frighten them. But not very sorry.

The investigation took a year. Dangerous Elk is upset because the investigation was conducted by EU financial controllers and not by a court. Gosh, how unusual for an organisation to conduct its own internal investigations of expenses fiddles, just like pretty much every employer and organisation that pays people does. Definitely a conspiracy, eh? Farage has the right to challenge the decision in the Court if he wishes.
Yes he does, and Farage has already said the decision is unfair and unjust. It is very strange that an upholder of the law does not recognise there is a dispute and calls for hanging him rather than council that others should wait for a legal judgment. Double standards from you in 1000Kg bags !
The only information that is available is what you have read in the press on the announcement from a possibly biased organisation/committee (and certainly not an independent one), this as you know is NOT evidence is it
It remains to be seen if his rejection of the Eu action is taken to court to establish the clarity of judgment required to hang the man.
I refer you to the Eu "system" as noted above by another poster, pathetic and enlightening in its failure of accountability and control of taxpayers money.

So you can't explain what he meant?
Yes, I can.But I am not going to because you are on one of your rants and it will get me nowhere.
I shouldn't have interjected, but I am not going to apologise for doing so and you can FRO for good measure.
according as he acts and according as he behaves, so will he be;
a man of good acts will become good, a man of bad acts, bad;
he becomes pure by pure deeds, bad by bad deeds;
And here they say that a person consists of desires,
and as is his desire, so is his will;
and as is his will, so is his deed;
and whatever deed he does, that he will reap".

Calm down - see if there's any wine left over from Christmas and take a deep breath.
So you can't explain what he meant?The thread is about what a colossal dick Farage is, not about you - much as you seem to want it to be.

since your original post links me to a kippy characterisation of leavers in general, I find your denial a bit thin. So, what hypocrisy exactly? I can barely be accused of not taking a consistent line with UKIP mentalists. And since I'm reluctantly here again, why do you & your pals seem so keen to bandy that word about like confetti? Or, as Gooner the genius would have it, Hippocrite
Reluctantly here You couldn't stay away even if your coop was ablaze.
Btw, it's gooner, Edward. It's also customary to begin a sentence with
a capital letter. Just saying . Apart from that, your insults are akin to being savaged by a dead Geoffrey Howe.
