Nigel Farage Launches New Brexit Party.

[anonymous-user]

One of the esteemed posters above mentions that the Brexit party logo should have been looked at by the electoral commission.

I can see other issues equally as important. I think some title creators that worked for the BBC may well have a case against Mr Farage

The Brexit Party Logo:



The Dads Army credit titles "flag"



Another view of the Dads Army "flag" showing its use in the titles



I think the grounds for copyright violation are pretty clear and so it seems do several twitter followers I have liased with

I think however that the design and implementation of the Brexit party Logo raises more serious issues. It is plainly an attempt to cash in and to link to the affection, nostalgia and fondness the British People feel for Dads Army.

That in itself is worrying what is much more deeply worrying is the suspicion that by doing so they are exploiting the threat of invasion and subjugation. This is something that the Europhobians worry about:
Invasion from the millions of immigrants that have arrived to steal the fruit picking jobs and force British prossies out of the marketplace.
Subjugation by the foreign powers. Not just Germany but France, Italy, Greece in fact any country that takes part in Eurovision.

It should be possible to educate these people into understanding how great the EU is. But this takes tim and lots of subtle hints need laying. Dr Who is off air all year so there is no chance of subtly dropping in comments into those scripts in time. The only options remaining are to wear people down by prolonging the current situation and diverting attentions away.

If only the EU could pop the elections on hold for a brief period of say 6 years that would help

It's a distraction technique though.

It's basically "I'm shouting and hopefully you won't realise I haven't answered your question".

To coin a phrase it's "pretty low grade stuff" IMO.

So which prominent politician do you believe does give straight answers to the questions put to them?

I'd struggle to think of one.

My point is that Farage is no different.

He's basically an angry shouty man in a suit who doesn't like being told he's wrong and doesn't like being asked (even slightly) hard questions.

So, long story short. Faraaage is another politician and there's not a politician you like - which in all honesty is fine. The sad fact is he's no worse than most (I'd argue he's actually better than most, but still not great). I think that, whether you like him or not, JRM (man of the people ) should be the debating benchmark

Why bother with European Elections at all? They're a lot of hassle and cost. Surely that resource could be better applied elsewhere?

So you'll condemn Farage for being no different to other politicians, but just solely focus on Farage.

It seems to be working wonders for Farage, hence his massive support in the polls, keep up the good work.

Superb. I’m so enjoying watching all the remoaners stting themselves. 23rd of May will be an education in democracy.

That's right.

If the party clean up, it's all because of the logo.

Of course not.

It's an example of how Farage manipulates people though.

It isn't just one arrow on the outside. If you look in the word Brexit there is another identical arrow between the e and the x. Clever Eh...




Farage was so clever to think up the name Brexit so he could manipulate the name for his parties logo. Oh wait ...no he didn't.
What makes it all the more delicious is that the word Brexit was first used by an arch remainer.

I mean he should be challenged on using the word Party, I saw that and thought ooh Party, bet there will be sausage rolls, I like sausage rolls, the dog adores sausage rolls, that got my tick just for the sausage rolls.

'Remain campaigners have just blocked the road to stop the public from attending a Brexit Party rally in Merthyr Tydfil.

This attempt to stop democracy from taking place is a total disgrace.

We would never behave like that.'

Exactly how desperate are the Remainers now?


Can you just imagine the BBC's reaction if it was the other way round?

St Nige wasn't very vocal when his mob were doing the blocking.

I didn't know Farage was personally behind those protests and didn't see a single mention of his name or his Party 'The Brexit Party' mentioned any where in the article you've linked.

You wrote "his mob" in your post, I guess you could evidence just how Farage was involved? Or did you make up the fact he was involved?

Nowhere did I say Faarage was personally responsible. Furthermore, judging by the comments on St Nige's Twitter feed, the baying mob that St Nige bravely endured was made up of Remainers and Leavers that are opposed to St Nige's divisive populist politics.

But that doesn't matter to St Nige, so long as St Nige can rouse his easily impressed supporters by the message that he is being stopped from attending his rally by "Remainers" - St Nige's words, not mine. A perfect example of faarage's rabble rousing.

And the road blocks were widely shown on Brexit/St Nige's facebook groups/pages and not a peep from St Nige. All the roadblocks did was stop honest, hard working British folk from going about their lawful business. But still nothing from St Nige. Not until St Nige can get some political leverage from something, then he'll start his rabble rousing.

And we all recall the chaos caused at the end of St Nige's march don't we.......

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/mar/29/p...

And here's a few more Brexiteer road blocks,,,,,

And look, Brexiteeers block the road to Aldi "cos it's foreign" - https://metro.co.uk/2019/04/12/pro-brexit-proteste...

But hey, lets all weep for St Nige and his tweets.........

[crankedup]

Remainers really wetting themselves over Brexit Party. You were informed that Brexiteers did not embarrass themselves by waddling around in the streets waving silly placards. You were all told that brexiteers voice themselves through the ballot box, that’s where it counts. And so it begins.

Our Nige seems to have induced a severe bout of anger and resentment
in Purple Diddly and bhstewie in particular.

Strange coming from one that never votes, allegedley, and t'other who struggles
to find a politician any different from his Nigelness.

Is Nige the ultimate Marmite character ?

None of that matters to leavers who adore him and see him as their savoir.

I detest him.

Is that because he loves fishing and uses your family for bait?

Well. That’s a bit of a stretch.
Go to PowerPoint.
Click on shapes.
Click Circle.
Click arrow.

Tada - there is the logo.


Where it is clever is that the left Hand side of the teal circle is an E. And the right hand side is the left hand side of an X

Other posters noting the small arrow between the EX

It’s a great logo.
But it’s nothing like Dads Army.

Brexiteers - check.
Silly placards - check.
Waddling around streets - check.
Embarrass themselves - check.

Loads of people moan that the political system is broken and that the two current main parties are st and we should have another party to break up the current status quo; but then they do everything they can to discredit the new party, look for excuses not to support it [because Brexit] and continue to moan like fk.

I have followed this thread and am amazed how people cannot separate the different types of elections; ffs it is an EU election not General.

But hey, this is NP&E

[Cohen123]

I think the Remain parties missed a trick here. Given the extremes some of their supporters go to look for ANYTHING to try and discredit Farage/TBP surely one of them should have approached Stretch Armstrong and asked him to stand.


The desperation in their ranks is now reaching literally head scratching proportions...

Because that SoS in the HoC have failed to agree a method of leaving - so rules is rules and the EU has democracy at it’s heart

if used that way fair enough. when it is frustration due to conversing with someone being stupid i think it is ok .

how many other politicians have spent 20 plus years campaigning for a single outcome ? how many current politicians actually stand for anything ? i haven't heard one lately that had anything worthwhile to say (that's actually a lie, i was quite impressed by tulsi gabbard in an interview with joe rogan ) beyond the usual dross i have come to expect from bland careerist rent seekers.
