Jeremy Kyle has been binned, so there is still hope that he will be too.

It's proof that some want it but that's never been in question. Probably more proof that leavers despair in the competence of the Conservatives as exemplified by Failing Grayling and his money tree.

He does not admire Putin. I repeat, you have misspelled Corbyn.

It isn't BP policy but he has at least said in the past he wants to move to an insurance based system. He didn't used to deny it, only saying UKIP didn't choose to do so, until now. It's not clear what insurance type healthcare system he meant.

Open your eyes, can't you see the polling numbers? :rolleyes:

See the numbers - He and his new party are going nowhere near a bin, wrong party, that's the silly ChUk'rs.

You Remainers have a new beast to flog: Farage.

Please stick to May and Corbyn. For different reasons, they are our enemy.

Why? The cult following of political leaders is dangerous and gets us into trouble. Farage is participating in politics, getting votes and power. He is fair game for criticism as much as May and Corbyn.

I also don't think it's helpful to think of any of them as enemies.

To remind you of Farage's views on the EU and underlying his mission:

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 
The media are saying that 30% of the electorate say that they will be voting for Farages party.

It will be interesting to see what it means for Brexit if these votes are translated into seats in the EU Parliament. The EU have said that they don't want anybody causing disruption to proceedings, I suppose that if they decide to be disruptive, all the EU can do is suspend them from sitting.

In itself, a large number of seats for Farage makes no difference to Brexit as it's our UK Parliament that will decide what happens, but if Farage is successful, I think that he will want to get as many people as he can to stand in the next General Election and then we will see what happens when you let the cat amongst the pigeons!

His mission? All sounds a bit evangelical to me.
Sign of the times, popular today, forgotten tomorrow (Remember Cleggmania and amazing LD polls? Where's he now?) Folks have short attention spans, mostly due to reality TV and wanting winners/losers. It will always come to Labour/Conservatives because of our archaic electoral system.

The middle ground is where the electorate are. Whoever realises it will win the next election. Farage is nowhere near that middle ground. He has no long term plan for Britain, like most Brexiteers, who never has been any plan of 'what next'. His main preoccupation is himself,, again like Boris et al...[COLOR="Silver"]

I shouldn't worry Richard, if they follow Nigel's lead they won't turn up any meetings or do any work. They will however claim the salary/expenses and pensions which we'll be paying for.

No politician should escape challenge or scrutiny. Political parties should not be followed like football clubs regardless of their form, and that's why it's healthy that there are new parties like the Brexit Party and Change UK.

Like the authoritarian style, bit like Farage, eh :)

Seriously, May and Corbyn and just idiots. It is Farage and the seductive populist message that he is pushing that is the clear and present danger here. Beware the new Pied Piper.

Maybe he is more like the Child Catcher: "sweeties children, come get your sweeties"

I'm loving this :tu:

If people were happy and content, there would be no thoughts of Brexit, and no need for somebody like Farage.

I think it's fair to say that, given Brexit is on the cards and Farage is back in action, people are not happy and content at all ;)

Farage . . like all successful entrepreneurs . . has identified a 'gap in the market' and is exploiting it quite well, good for him :D
