ICTChris Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Apparently Farage has said this guy may have acted up in order to boost his acting career. I mean, the man is advertising himself on an extra website while in his 60s but now he’s been recorded calling Rishi Sunak a “fucking p*ki” he’ll probably be cast on the next Marvel movie I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Weird how the press have suddenly discovered Farage and his pals are a bunch of racists now that they've become an existential threat to the tories and not just a useful tool to push the party rightwards. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even worse than your average Tory minister doing the morning media round. I'm a bit surprised he isnt ignoring interview requests and just getting soundbites from speeches he makes onto the news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His opinions and knowledge appear to fit the description of being a mile wide and inch deep. His mortal enemy is that curse of the political lightweight...

Salt n Vinegar Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Hmmm. Seemingly old Nigel doesn't like being put under pressure by interviewers or audiences. He's refusing to go on the Laura Kuenssberg show until the BBC apologies to him about Question Time. I hope they tell him to eff off. Poor an interviewer though I think LK is, she'd tear him a new one and seem pleasant while doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, he's on the BBC about as often as Terry Wogan used to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 He's now gone running to the Electoral Commission claiming C4 are guilty of "electoral interference". Boycotting the BBC because of a "hostile" audience. FFS, they fellate him almost weekly on QT, and to be honest I thought the audience last night was remarkably gentle with him. After the nonsense about that guy being a C4 plant, nobody asked him to explain the Jones/Bates/Gravett conversation. Apparently he has waved it off as them being a bit pissed after watching football. So, in vino veritas eh Nigel? When your boys get a beer in them, they can't prevent their true selves from rearing their ugly bigoted heads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wile E Coyote Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I. for one, am amazed that a racist party is attracting racists. For a complete failure os a politician who dosen't actually get a lot of votes why does he get so much publicity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 He's smart enough to realise he's Nick Griffining his reputation every time he is asked even the softest of questions, so he's taking the cowards way out, as he always does. The same reason he's too feart to set foot in Scotland. His fanbase will lap up the conspiracy nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large Labour majority will change nothing. They don't want to change anything. They are happy being in the right of centre the Tories vacated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change what? Their platform is less progressive than the Tory platform that got Cameron elected in 2010. That's not an exaggeration btw, that's just reality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not an exaggeration btw, that's just reality. I think Labour can take credit for the non dom thing, even though the Tories put it through. They only did that to steal it from Labour. Expecting changes to capital gains tax, particularly on private equity manager carried interest. Not a massive fund raiser, but a significant step towards some limited fairness. Limited re-introduction of employment protection. Scope and extent tbc. The hollowed out husk of an aspiration for an environmental industrial / energy policy. I agree with @Jedi2 that it's better than the Tories. It's thin gruel though. Not nearly enough to make it worth ignoring the toxic xenophobia and small state neoliberalism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might just be the first time I vote for… “shudder”… the Greens. Spoiler If I can get a fucking emergency proxy sorted. Fucking Rishi. Fucking Royal Mail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
