I can't work out if there's irony here or not.

It should be obvious.

Please name any other politician who did exactly what they promised to do in the last 200 years?

You cannot.

He is an extraordinary success.

Totally agree, just not sure if the op does.

I read the op in two diametrically opposed ways.

Yes he is one of the good guys like and respect him and
his commitment to rolling back the mess we know as the EU
He has make a real and positive difference to this country in many ways
and if he helps us get a free trade agreement with the biggest market in the world
that would surely be a crowning achevement He will go down in history as one of the
people who puts the Great in Great Britain.....

Wonder if he knocks on the door and Donald says "Who?" "If he is selling double glazing, we already have some"

No that will be his reaction to Borris !!, I think you will find there is not just mutual respect but some personal friendship as well..

Which of these men is better fitted to be the intermediary laying the groundwork for May meeting Trump in January or whenever; is it the professional diplomat who has a working relationship with and a direct line to No. 10 and actually lives in Washington, or is it an egotist who could start a fight in an empty room, doesn't live in Washington, doesn't have a direct line or a working relationship with No. 10 and is the leader of a completely different political party to the PM? Suggesting he might do this is tabloid nonsense and Liam 'Werritty' Fox is a bigger eedjit than I gave him credit for if he thought it was a good idea.

Maybe its the man who's party didn't make chidish dismissive comments about Trump and has some understanding and common ground on policy ????

So you're saying that all Farage ever promised was a referendum on EU membership?

If so, then he has indeed delivered. If, on the other hand, he ever promised to get us out of the EU, or that we'd be more successful outside the EU, then to date he has delivered absolutely nothing, and now it looks like the slimy weasel is going to perform that typical politician trick of claiming all the kudos up front, then bugger off out of the firing line when the hard work actually has to be done!

Granted, if leaving the EU is your thing (personally I couldn't care less one way or the other, as it's a trivial red herring compared to other problems facing the country) then without Farage there probably wouldn't have been a referendum, but if you really think that makes him worthy of your adulation, then you've got bloody low expectations, as so far, absolutely nothing tangible has been delivered!

So he got us disintagled from the mess we call the EU and now he is smothing the path for a trade deal with the worlds biggest economy .... Nah not much delivered then

I hope they don't use him to negotiate trade deals with the World's second biggest economy.

Yes god knows how he would deal with China !! mind like the EU they need us more than we need them so having a trade deal would be less important .dont you think??

RedWhiteMonkey said:

Trade deals are conducted with EU as an entire entity. I get people don't like them but pretending they don't exist or have to be dealt with is silly.

For how long ??? I don't think its got long as a political construct , do you ??

Who knows, but it will certainly be around long enough to need trade deal negotiated.

do we need to do a trade deal?? It seems german industry will sort things out quicker than us !!!
mind apart from the odd van I have no interest in
euro cars, so they play silly buggers and we can and should put a least a 10% import tariff on them

Yeah, that'll work wonders for our negotiations. The last thing you want to do is get into a tit for tat war of import tariffs with an organisation as big as the EU. We are not in a position of power here. They largely hold all the cards.

Yes commerce would grind to a halt without Audis , Seriously when the balance of trade is in their favour what cards do you think they hold ...???? german industry has already fired warning shots across the EUs bow ....

Trabi601 said:

I'm still astounded that people are sticking to the line of us being really important.

We really aren't.

Only 8% of EU exports come to the UK. That's half what they send to non EU countries. 75% of EU exports are between the remaining EU countries.

We are constantly being told we're free of the shackles to go and negotiate new deals - don't you think that the EU are also out there looking to increase that 17% of exports they send to the rest of the world, in compensation for reducing the 8% the UK buys? - and that's without considering increased inter-EU trade as they are encouraged to do business with each other and not the UK.

As for the £7bn - that is peanuts when spread across the tax paying population of the remaining EU nations.

I'm still astounded you think we aren't important !!!

His nose is so far up Trump's rectal passage that I have serious doubts about him putting the interests of the UK above the interests of Trump.

maybe but he will never ever beat the Bliar Bush love in when our tone followed bush round the whitehouse lawn like a lovesick puppy ...

Get ready for Nigel Farage... the movie. The Hollywood film-maker behind the Harry Potter franchise is in talks about making a film of the former Ukip leader’s campaign to take Britain out of the European Union. Warner Brothers, one of the world’s most successful film studios, is in talks with Arron Banks, the insurance millionaire who funded Leave.EU, about a film based on his diary of the successful campaign, The Telegraph can disclose.

Awesome , And it will be like shooting fish in a barrel for pissing off the lefty eilite

Farage wants to help.



Cigars, selfies and drinks till 2am: Nigel Farage's meet-up with Team Trump revealed



“Mr Farage is unsure when he will next be back in Washington, but is keen to offer his links to the May government if it can help further Britain’s interests.

“I’ve got fantastic connections and friendships with this presidency. Surely I could be of some use somehow?” he says in a message to Number 10.

“I’m not asking for a job, I’m not asking for a position, I’m not asking for a title. I’m offering my help,” Mr Farage adds. But he is not expecting a call any time soon. ”

Sadly not going to happen , I would guess May and the others still have Tall poppy
syndrome ...... despite the fact they (we) need all the help and allies possible...

If you were an alien from Mars and you were to listen to Farage on LBC for a month and you heard the way he speaks of our government and of Trumps government, and were asked at the end of it which one he is on the side of, which do you think you'd choose?

The UK!! not our government He just sees the lack of spine and capitulation from May so it's no surprise he isn't exactly complementary ...

Countdown said:

So selfless that he’s begging for a job to be Trump’s Chief felcher.....So selfless that he still claims his salary plus dodgy expenses whilst doing feck all.....

Hardly !! He has done what he set out to and worked tirelessly to achieve a better Britain
I see him as a great person and asset to our country ...
