Good speech today at the launch

Can she relate to the common person on the street like her brother Jacob?

Do you think there's a reason these sort of people seem to flock to parties like UKIP and the Brexit Party?

Kicking them out is laudable.

Might want to ask why you're attracting them in the first place though.

some appear to have headed for labour , i hope they take similar action.

Reminds me a bit of the presenters on Brass Eye... "And now here's Satsuma Polar-Bear with the weather"

Still, I expect that they'll be rejoicing in Weathersppons up and down the land at the great news.

Politics is alive and well, let’s be grateful for a diversity of candidates standing for election.

Indeed it is.

The Spectator attended the launch and Farage seems to be targeting disgruntled Conservatives more than the UKIP crowd. Tempting a past Tory candidate to join, with such a famous brother, would be all part of that strategy.

They will need credible candidates and I will consider voting for them myself.

It’s certainly a diverse crowd if nothing else.

The remainers on this thread have proven that they, like the establishment, have learned nothing in the last few years. You do realise your condescending comments, faux mocking, "man of the people" snide comments and "subtle" suggestions of racism in those that support leaving the EU make you part of the reason people voted to leave?

I really hope you are only like this on the internet and not in "real life" but I suspect that to not be the case unfortunately.

I'm not Farage fanboi and don't agree with all he says. But despite failing to get elected in the UK multiple times he is without a doubt the most successful politician on my generation (I'm 40). His party will do well in the EU elections but the EU establishment, combined with our own useless politicians and the remainers, will ignore this and carry on as if it doesn't matter. And then wonder why the electorate becomes even more pissed off.

.

Sorry but the Rees-Mogg ‘stick it to the establishment’ and the picture of that crowd is just next level.

At the moment im not sure he isnt just trolling people who are supporting him and seeing just how far he can push it.

My suspicions will be confirmed if he hires Jon Snow as head of Public Relations.

Couldn’t agree more, Brexit is more than leaving the EU now. It’s become a class war.

You generalise far too much about "remainers".

For some of us, me specifically this debacle has cost a lot of money and many sleepless nights that you (me generalising now) as a Brexiteer would have probably no idea about.

It looks a bit that way for sure , yes mock the older folk engaging at the meeting with Nigel , but up and down our great country
there is lot of much younger people who haven't got the time for political events but are still thinking about what is happening
these are the people who keep the wheels on the economy mend ,build and clean for the parasite classes who are being so
smug and dismissive ( really have no right to be that way) ivory towers only last so long !!!
good honest people are being treated like dirt over brexit ....

All my reasoning I would use in 'real' life. I often use sarcasm/ humour to get points across (I do this in 'real' life too). I am sorry if that offends. Could you quote where I have 'learnt nothing' or 'been condescending'? It is not my intention.

Thanks

I suppose he is successful in a way. An establishment figure, on a great EU pension, who manages to convince the downtrodden that their plight is all the establishment & EUs fault.
He makes a career out of it, good luck to him I guess.
At least he will split the Ukip & Tory vote

Pathetic though isn't it, the whole 'class' thing the UK has?

'Working Class' a stupid, retarded description so many cling to like a comfort blanket.

'Elites' 'Toffs' why is the UK mindset stuck in the 18th and 19th Century's?

Do Brits have no real pride, do they like creating false, unnecessary division?

Britons who perpetuate the very notion of class by continuing to live under and, bizarrely, proudly declare themselves by a class-related title need to remove their mental shackles and get with this Century!

Those who refuse to abandon a class mindset are the very cause of these divisions - they encourage and legitimise it. Utterly stupid!

'Working Class'...cringeworthy.

My family is from Middlesbrough, historically that would have been the 'class' we would have been attributed to. But not growing up in the UK, I have always seen it as just that, an historical title. It bears no relevance in this day and age and seems to be used purely to create ongoing division by those who resent anyone who has lifted themselves to do 'better' in their eyes whether real or by perception and assumption than they have and hold the title as some kind of warped excuse.

Similarly those who see themselves as a 'class' above anyone else too. Ridiculous.

The UK creates its own problems for itself in mindset alone, nothing to do with the EU, that's just another scapegoat and daft rallying argument to perpetuate false division.

Quite. It seems some people think you’re only qualified to represent people if your dad was a bus driver.

Too much jealousy going on which leads to dim people not casting their vote based on what the candidate says but on what head ware they choose or what their dad’s occupation was sadly evident in posts above. Time some people grew up and vote on the issues and not tribalism.

I think the mocking is pretty blatant rather than faux.

And whilst I agree that Farage has been successful in stoking peoples fears and insecurities, I'd encourage anyone to stop and look a little deeper at the man himself.

As you say, I don't agree with all he says but I do agree with some things he says.

I listen to him most evenings on LBC and when you do, uninterrupted for an hour, every day, you soon realise how full of hate he actually is.

Along with many callers who hate the establishment, who hate "elites", who say democracy has been stolen, yet seem to think the answer to this is to give power to a bloke who's made more money out of taking advantage of those fears than many of his supporters will make in a lifetime.

Oh wnen I say give power I mean literally, it's amazing how many people would seemingly be happy in a dictatorship just so long as it's Nigel running it.

It's not healthy for them and I think it's massively hypocritical if you actually stop and think it through and look at the man and the people he associates with and the things he stands for.

Sadly many won't, they think he's a saint.
