Farage should not be lumped in with Boris & Trump. Farage is a serious politician who is nothing like the other two.

Tell me you typed that with a smile on your face and your fingers crossed behind you back.

Not at all. Farage is totally respectable. Just because Farage was on the wrong side of Brexit in your mind is not a reason to lump him in with Boris & Trump.

The only time chance to do anything was an MEP. Then he chose either to not turn up, or just disrupt . He's done nothing as an elected politician.
Boris was similarly exposed when he actually got power. Both populists that are only interested in themselves.

There's a semblance of argument there - i.e. disruptor. But it's not the same; Farage got elected on the ticket to which he behaved in the EU parliament. He was true to his manifesto.

Don't see anyone disagreeing with this. As you say did what he was elected to do. Pity others don't do this.:shocked:

Not sure how you can keep a straight face while typing that. :erm:

[ and no, he wasnt on the wrong side of brexit for me, but that doesnt stop him being a complete nob head ].

Agreed. But he's dangerous nevertheless because of the people he's stirred up in Rochdale and elsewhere.
Surely he's just a left-wing equivalent of Nigel Farage? A Brexit populist with the same great communications who appeals to the disillusioned in society who feel they are getting a rough deal from mainstream politicians.

But is he? Galloway is stoking up, and representing, an eventual existential threat to our culture. Farage is the other bit I highlighted - as you say, with the difference that he wants to preserve our culture. Our culture straddles Remainers and Leavers, Christians and Jews and certain others but not the lot that support Galloway. There is no similarity..
