Incidentally, the NHS is nothing to do with the EU elections. Given that MEPs have little say on matters of great importance, it hardly matters what their views on these subjects are. As far as I, and many, many people in this country are concerned, if we can't get out of this monstrocity of an authority, we will have no choice but to undermine it from within.

The EU know that, which is why they will not be just waiting to see what happens. They will soften on the backstop, one way or the other, or find a way around it. If, against all common sense I'm wrong on that, I shall be looking on with great amusement. They will be begging us to leave after putting up with Faragist tactics for any length of time.
I am just surprised that so many can support something that has no manifesto, no policies and a more than fair share of unsavory candidates. Your endorsement of undemocratic methods surprises me but then Brexit has changed this country in many ways, most bad. Populism is on the rise where fear and deceit is endorsed and fairness and tolerance is discarded.

This country is less than it was and will become a divided and venal caricature of its former self. The lurch to the uncaring right and dogmatic left awaits. More likely the latter as time goes on.

Let's vote for the party with no policies that only has one ambition: to encourage hatred of our neighbours abroad and your neighbours at home.

Sky News host Isabel Webster then asked whether Mr Farage agreed with Jacob Rees-Moggs latest Tweet where he expressed his outrage of the prospect of a long extension.

The Tweet read: “If a long extension leaves us stuck in the EU we should be as difficult as possible.

“We could veto any increase in the budget, obstruct the putative EU army and block Mr Macron’s integrationist schemes.

Mr Farage replied: “I have been trying to do that for 20 years in the European Parliament.

“I have done my best but it is very hard to stop them.
