It seems to me Nigel has come up with a superb scheme to use (gullible) people like you so he can trouser as much cash as possible. Do you want to buy some snake oil?

I think you’re just scrabbling around to find some dirt to pin on him. You won’t succeed.
Farage has explained everything, and when this investigation is finished, you will no doubt be very disappointed.

Is there a Government list somewhere stating what I can laugh at, as well as a list of things I can't laugh at?
Is there actually anything classed as humour today that is funny enough to laugh at?

Call me woke if you want, but when your the but of 'jokes' or comments because you are what you are then it hurts. But you lot are OK so let it long continue. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

It’s OK if such comments are not hateful or vindictive or designed as a put down. If it’s done in good humour, people are being a bit silly taking offence by it.
When I hear black people joking about whites, am I offended? Of course not. People are so thin skinned these days, it’s pathetic.
