Michael W Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I've little time for Farage, but as pointed out there is the possibility for UKIP to end up with someone a whole lot more extreme. In particular, the crowd that used to latch on to the likes of the BNP may fancy it given there is no longer any real reason for UKIP to try and present itself as respectable. I know they say they ban ex-BNP types, but their candidate vetting has failed them often in the past. Pauk Nuttal is a dribbling idiot, although seems to be the go to man if Farrage is unavailable. Diane James and Janice Atkinson are other names I see popping up from time to time, although I know nothing about them. Carswell will be back in the Tories as soon as possible, I reckon. Still can't understand why he joined that mob. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 All I know about Nuttall is based on a Question Time appearance of his I saw. Had a quick Google and he seems to basically have the wrong view on everything. Opposed to abortion, wants to reintroduce capital punishment, opposed to political correctness, wants harsher sentences for prisoners, wants to ban burqas and is sceptical of climate change. He's basically occupying the perfect pantomime villain hole to the reasonable liberal people that a leader of UKIP needs to occupy. Odious, awful views, perfect for UKIP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Nuttall is an idiot. He's essentially one of the neanderthals you'd expect to see hurling beer garden furniture at French police, in a suit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Carswell rules himself out has a another dig at Farage - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36702468. "Mr Carswell told the BBC's Daily Politics Mr Farage had "played a role" in the EU referendum, but said his departure represented a "huge opportunity" for the party. He described the chances of him running for leader as "somewhere between nil and zero" and said the winning candidate had to "steer UKIP away from the temptation of becoming an angry, nativist party."" Fat chance of that. Farage ran UKIP with iron rod and, in the past, had toned down the nativist rhetoric. He's clearly had enough of the nutters and wants out. It wouldn't be surprise if he resigned as an MEP and left politics for a new career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I disagree with him on almost every issue but the man is undeniably a fantastic politician. Over the course of 23 years he's singlehandely turned UKIP from an irrelevant,single issue fringe party into the driving force behind us leaving the EU. True but he did it by being a duplicitous, devious , lowest-common-denominator seeking , dog-whistling, self-serving cretin. And the masses lapped it up. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farage reportedly turned down a job with Fox News in the US. He's probably got a new job lined up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) EU President? It looks Mrs Merkel wants Juncker out - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/07/03/angela-merkel-to-oust-jean-claude-juncker-as-europe-splits-deepe/ "Even before he was appointed President of the European Commission - against the wishes of David Cameron - concerns were raised about Mr Juncker's alchohol consumption which were dismissed as a "smear campaign" by his officials. "At the time The Telegraph and several other newspapers reported officials worrying about Mr Juncker having "cognac for breakfast" and rolling through long negotiations fortified with large quantities of claret and brandy." Sounds like the perfect job for Farage! Beer would be cheaper than brandy and claret. Edited July 4, 2016 by Bishop Briggs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a guy who did the same in the early part of last century. Had a greater success than Farage but it all ended badly.
