Nigel Farage

[Phil1]

I can’t believe for several weeks this guy has been all over the news. Are there no other things going on?

Lots going on which is exactly the reason this **** has become so prominent.
Can’t have the great unwashed hearing about how fucking corrupt the current government are can we.

Massive - best ever was 13% in 2015 when they won the one and only seat they ever won in a GE and at that election on a high Farage resigned from the Party and stood down as leader having failed yet again - that time in Thanet

13% isnt a good share of the proportionate vote? Werent they 3rd for votes?

 

[Bluesince1979]

I think hes a bit of a prick but when someone like him comes along and shakes and shits up the establishment its can only be a good thing

May have been 3rd not sure - however in FPTP it got them one single seat so not influential - memory serves me correctly they lost the seat 2 years later

What makes Farage anti-establishment? If he is anti-establishment, why did the government work so quickly to address his grievances with banks?

Because the white paper had been in discussion for months and months prior to this and had absolutely nothing to do with his situation other than the timing of the announcement regarding reform.

The more times he wins the thinner the skin gets

He's such a snowflake.

They got three times the number of votes that election as the SNP. That's the bizarre thing about our electoral system.

Wasnt my point. My point was ukip got a very decent % of the vote

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Closing his accounts was entirely justified. Trying to play this in the media for positive PR is a game all big firms play to some degree, the execution here has been a total failure. Why did she out herself? Is it that hard to leak something and keep your tracks covered?



Farage is an absolute ****. Having a trail of money laundering behind you is not a nice problem to have, not to mention his involvement with election interference here and in the US.

Whether you like Farage or not, and many people don't. You simply cannot have the CEO of a national bank making up and leaking stories about their customers. It's wrong on every level.

He put a rocket up the arse of the oh so comfortable lab/cons.
Same way as SNP did .
Could even say the BNP shook the establishment too once upon a time.

Like farage or not, he shit them up and made stuff happen.

Slimy prick but has something about him that is attractive to a section of society

Yep and let’s be honest, he completely changed the Conservative party as a consequence.

Let's hope, that in the history books he will be recorded as the man who destroyed it.

Racist and bigots like people who they feel are brave enough to tell "truths" that they keep quiet about.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

If it was it would be a life insurance scam.

I'd settle for that if it meant he was never seen on TV again.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

What did she make up?

Read about about it.

From the bbc website.

She had been heavily criticised for being the source of an inaccurate BBC report about Mr Farage's account at Coutts, which is part of NatWest Group

I think she’s resigned for a breach of confidentiality, the BBC report was actually correct.

Why did they state that it was incorrect then?

It’s a fair question and it looks like another misstep from them.
