From an outsider looking in, I don't know if this can be posted, but Farage, Trump's buddy who fooled you with Brexit, as an MEP!

He was given a £5M backhander, that he didn't declare, but now he's the new saviour??

Reform in.

What benefit will Reform getting in be to you, Paul?

Paul -- not in my local council they aren't, I am very glad to say.

If Farage is our next Prime Minister, I will definitely be looking at leaving the country.

John, I won't say.

I will be called racist.

You didn't have to, Paul.
I knew.

Google 'Kent Care Homes, Farage, Migrants' to see the leader in his finest hypocrisy.

John.

I don't really trust any MP. They are all bloody crooks.

Me too, Andy, with one or two exceptions.

I didn't vote in the last General Election. No party represents my views.

Paul, you support a man who was given £5M by a supporter, and didn’t declare it.

Is he not compromised? Unbelievable!

Christy.

Like I've said. All MPs are crooks.

Doesn't matter who wins.

Paul, it matters for the future of your country.

I'm just mystified.

Let me demystify it for you Christy.

He was given £5M by a supporter to pay for the security he needs, to prevent left wing nutters from visiting violence upon him, and which the government refuses to pay.

The shame is in the latter. They are in denial about what a minority of their supporters are willing to do.

Mark -- there are many right-wing nutters as well (ever heard of Jo Cox?) to whom Farage and his dog-whistle politics appeals. That is the real shame of what is an increasingly divided country.

It's not been the same since Cameron put party before country with his misguided Brexit referendum. Just an opinion!

Christy,

I must assume from the tone of your posts that you don't like Nigel? No surprise there, he does seem to be a very Marmite type who people either love or hate.

And confirmation bias being what it is, this £5M donation that occurred before he was an MP, and therefore did not have to be declared, is either proof of abject scummery, or reasonable cost for security he has been denied by the British Government -- take your pick.

Perhaps you prefer instead the lame / dead duck we currently have in charge? What a shitfest. He should have resigned over the Mandelson business, just utterly shameful that his party was whipped into shape to back him over that. Partygate that brought down Boris pales into total insignificance in comparison.

But the centre-right do have a very clear problem in this country now, thanks to Nigel and his ilk. The division between Tories and Reform will just allow Labour and the Greens to take us down a very very dangerous road if they don't sort themselves out.
