There’s plenty more like this.

Now go away and tell lies about someone else.

Now this is really quite interesting...…………...

1. Well if you are talking about telling lies about someone I can point to outright and insulting lies that you have told about me throughout the years - but that is not what I find most interesting

2. If you have been so 'balanced' then, given the 100s of your posts on the subject, I would have expected you to have found something more emphatic than that example - so you were probably struggling to - but that is also not what I find most interesting

3. What is really interesting is that you provide a post from Jan 2017 - yet you also said only yesterday:

So have you suddenly received Mod privileges - I have to say that I had not noticed your elevation - are congratulations in order??

If not - how are you able to access threads that you have said there is no way to look at?
 
what a fucking charlatan


Farage registers new group to replace Brexit Party

Back over on Sky, Sophy Ridge's final guest is Nigel Farage, who reveals he's already registered a new political group to replace his Brexit Party.

The Brexit Party leader says if the UK leaves the EU his party will "have to reform into the Reform Party".

He says this new party, which he has already registered, would "campaign to change politics for good, get rid of the House of Lords, change the voting system".

Mr Farage - who came out of retirement after he quit as UKIP leader in order to launch the Brexit Party in April this year - says the Reform Party would address the fact that "people have lost faith in politics".

Mr Farage has previously talked about his interest in Canada's populist, right-of-centre Reform Party.

But back to this election and the Brexit Party, for a moment.

Mr Farage tells Ridge he has a "seriously good chance" of winning a "handful" of seats on Thursday, and believes his party will win up to 14% of the vote.

He adds that he wants to get a "bridge-head of Brexit Party MPs in Parliament... to hold Boris Johnson to account".

It wasn’t from the Brexit thread. It’s not rocket science.

As for the rest of your post. All bollocks.

Certainly true. Guy yesterday complained about his housing association flat. On benefits. Mental health issues. And voting Tory because he believes what he reads in his paper of choice, the Sun.

I think the issue here is a great many of us have a general lack of understanding of politics and economics . Politicians are well aware of this so they take current events, amplify them and use them as a tool to get votes

scream any number of t he e following and it’s pretty easy to sway people

get breggggzit done

Arhhhhhh terrorist (points finger)

They’re gonna spend all your money and you’ll go from stockbroker salary to minimum wage toilet cleaner pay

We’ll be tough on crime

well get rid of all the pesky immigrants that are taking your jobs and benefits.

Think that sums it up

In that case my humble suggestion is to explain to the people behind those doors that there is a practical difference between 'overthrowing' and 'transforming' capitalism pretty quickly - otherwise this throwback's class war plans will put the Tories in power for yet another five years.

Laughable. A drop of water compared with Lake Superior.

Of course Tories take responsibility but not for the increased national debt. Increased debt was completely unavoidable when you inherit a £150bn deficit. You do understand this, right? We don't have to go through all that debt Vs deficit bollocks yet again, do we?

And regards other aspects of the country, all you lot do is criticise. There's no recognition of the fact that in EXTREMELY difficult circumstances the Tories managed to get the country growing faster than the rest of the EU, when previously we were growing more slowly.

Brexit has fucked that up of course, for which Cameron is responsible. That said, 17.1m people probably don't regards them being allowed a vote as being "a fuck up".

Thanks for pointing out the damage Brexit has done. Nowt compared to what it would do if Johnson gets his wicked way.

Bless him. Without those companies and their tax revenue John, you'd be struggling to do anything on your agenda. In fact you'd be be preparing for another bout of uber austerity that will follow as sure as eggs are eggs.

I am sure that there are enough people on here that have your measure

Again I blame myself for bothering with you

Haha.
Now you’ve been proven wrong switch over to your usual condescending claptrap.
Anything other than admitting you were wrong - again.

Repeated his battlecry on Marr this morning - almost word for word and just acknowledged with a shrug - astonishing really

Here he is with the same threats last year. Presumably they continue to let him peddle this nonsense unchallenged because they think a Tory majority is cut and dried. They'd better be right.

Country has been crying out for prima ballerinas. Fruit doesn’t pick itself you know.
 
Loving the idea of resurrecting the Germans ‘Gastarbeiter’ system from the 1980’s where you invite workers as ‘guests’, stick them in some Nissen hut and hope they don’t stay. They should make a TV program about the experience.

Not that it really worked with Germany’s Turkish ‘guests’. You invite them as guests and then discover they are real people with a desire to make a home for themselves and things. Who knew.
