Would we agree if he had voted everytime it wouldn't have made sod all difference ???

Roughly the same difference as your MP. He's 1 of 650, rather than 1 of 750.

Still, since Farridge and the kippers don't actually vote on the merits of any proposal, but with the stated aim of simple disruption, you're probably right. Pity it means the UK wastes a third of its voting strength.

Don't you just love politics.

We are leaving so its onward and upward now

Y'see - that's the problem...

We don't even know if it's "onward and upward". It's looking less and less likely to be "upward" by the day - but you don't actually care. You just want the result so badly, even if it is actually harmful for the country. Simple xenophobia.

The same is true if you just swap things arround.

What you do not get (yet ?) is that many many people voted to be out of a system of government and the direction that system is taking us/the Eu.

We then/now have to get on with things as best we can and face the problems and benefit from, the advantages and challenges that will bring. These will be many and varied.
Neither you or I can state for certain what those will be. (I know you like to think you can, but if I may advise you a little, please try not to attempt to convince me you can predict it any more than I can)

Or he could stay with the sinking ship that is protectionist, failing in world markets and wants to be One Big Europe that consists of regions only.
Only a vote from all of the Uk voters can tell what the country wants to do and set the path asked for by our elected representatives.

Nope, strange question.

Oh, suddenly the EU can add!

No matter; I'm sure Farage and Le Pen have not been targeted for political reasons.

So am I. Deal with it, your fascist heroes are lying scumbags.

Clearly not all leave voters were racist (although all racists were leave voters).

Still nonsense.

I suppose the office workers here spending their time sneering at the rest of us think only they deserve an opinion on Farage/Brexit.

I've heard worse

Apparently he doesn't like this particular outing on LBC being shared around

http://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/james-obrien...

It would be a shame if more people saw it

James O'Brien gets on my nerves quite a bit but that's a peach.

I think the problem is people simply can't look at things objectively i.e. Farage says some sensible stuff sometimes, but there's the side of him that you see in that interview that seems massively hypocritical and intolerant.

I can see that, but so many seem unable to acknowledge that there is that side of him.

Great watching him squirm in that clip

Evening Standard said:

A survey of 2,220 people found that 34% of Leave voters admitted holding racist attitudes compared to 18% of Remain voters.

So this backs up your initial claim then or am I misreading?

"A survey of 2,220 people found that 34% of Leave voters admitted holding racist attitudes compared to 18% of Remain voters."

Looks like Dindoit was wrong, as expected!

[Dindoit]

Yeah I think I shot myself in the foot a little there...

However, given 8% of UKIP voters voted to Remain I’m just going to say the survey was wrong and I’m right. Agreed? Good.

Or that 8% were just too stupid to tick the right box.
