.org is his actual site. So they didn't beat him to the post.
The silly old man should have got hold of .com too, but you're a bit wide of the gloaty mark.
Not too far wide. The silly old man should have got hold of .com too, but you're a bit wide of the gloaty mark.
It either paints him and his team as technically incompetent or cheap. Or both.
Domain names are not that expensive.

It is being reported that Nigel Farage has forgotten to register his Brexit Party website....!!!
It's little wonder he has never been elected as an MP.

Aren’t the brexit party and ukip just going to be splitting the same vote? Farage has been arguing with ukip and saying ukip have been taken over by the far right. I wonder what he’s going to do this time to stop far right wingers taking over the (new and respectable) brexit party?
Regardless of what happens now with brexit, the next GE will all be very bad news for the conservatives, they’ve got core voters going to the brexit and ukip parties and some centrists going to the new lot, while getting the blame for anything people think is going badly to do with brexit generally.
Corbyn must be happy as nobody else is competing for his place in the political spectrum. If labour got rid of Corbyn and replaced him with someone less Marxist, they’ll win by miles.

Agree with all of this.Regardless of what happens now with brexit, the next GE will all be very bad news for the conservatives, they’ve got core voters going to the brexit and ukip parties and some centrists going to the new lot, while getting the blame for anything people think is going badly to do with brexit generally.

I'd love there to be a GE right now, just to see what would happen.
From who would campaign on what right through to the final results.
ETA: I'd vote Green.

Splitting the vote doesn't really matter though, it's a protest party they don't want any seats. Just to disrupt.

It will be very interesting to see what happens in the next GE to Yvette Cooper in the next general election, along with other self serving MPs who are disconnected from their constituents.
Out of interest, how is Yvette Cooper being self-serving?I've seen various articles suggesting that JRM's hedge fund would make a fortune out of Brexit (how true that is, I don't know), so I can understand potential claims of him being self-serving over Brexit, but what does Cooper have to gain?
If she is trying to stop Brexit from happening, then she's clearly opposing the will of her constituents, given how massively in favour they were of Brexit, but I just don't understand what's in it for her personally?

Then you really need to find some different sources because the ones that you are looking at are talking b0ll0cks.- The firm that JRM co-founded runs long-only funds (not hedge funds).
- They specialise in emerging and frontier markets, so will not have significant UK positions. The only way that they could 'make a fortune out of Brexit' is if the markets in which they invested happened to seal advantageous trade deals with the UK post-no-deal. Even then, the stocks they own might not go up, or that might already be baked into the price. In short, it is probably as unlikely to be true as saying that Corbyn's pension fund may make a fortune out of Brexit.
- JRM no longer has any portfolio management responsibilities so "his fund" does not apply.
- While we are on the topic of Somerset Capital Management, setting up a fund in Ireland is not "moving his business out of the UK" or "preparing for Brexit", or "moving investments offshore". The UK (and European) Fund management industry has run funds out of Dublin and Luxembourg for the last 20-25 years (about as long as I've been looking). It is a structure that our clients demand. If you have funds in an ISA or DC pension, it is likely that you have a Dublin-domiciled fund. In that case, it would be as fair to say you had "moved your business out of the UK" or "prepared for Brexit", or "moved investments offshore"
I have no connection to JRM or Somerset Capital Management.

Just had a pre-election questionnaire through from The Conservatives, even gave me a Freepost envelope.
i wonder how many others they will receive stating the same.silentbrown said:
You've actually got a UKIP candidate, then? They're only contesting a couple of the seats on our council.
In the absence of Brexit Party or UKIP, my Local Election protest vote will go to anyone except the mainstream parties, Monster Raving Loony if necessary.Definitely vote for Brexit Party at European Elections.
Time to give the Tories and EU Parliament bloody noses
