I hear today that some total misguideds think that Nigel Farage merits a knighthood - or indeed a peerage!

Honest to God - these people are dangerous. Utter misguided lunancy - nothing could be more designed to crash the honours system into total disrepute. The guy is a disgraceful, lying conman. He is no hero. He has done NOTHING for this country or the people of this country that merits ANY honour.

So the people who do support Farage are dangerous, misguided lunatics?

Did I say that about supporters of Farage? No I didn't - just the individuals who think he deserves a knighthood - or even a peerage. Someone who has been responsible (all at least a cheerleader) for dividing the country down the middle - making it a more angry, blinkered, prejudiced and suspicious - and stirring up myriad anti-immigrant emotions. Yup - just the sort of person who deserves a knighthood.

I remember me dad saying during the miners strike that the Tories and labour are exactly the same, the only differance is the colour of there ties. He said they will never do owt for you, they will only look after themselves. How I laughed, decades later I have stopped laughing. The penny has dropped. They don't give a flying shat about me, miners, nurses, teachers, police, armed forces, council workers etc etc.
One man has come along and said it how it is, he has told the Tories, Labour, Liberals, SNP, the EU government HOW IT IS. Political followers and MPs of all parties have related to what he stands for. Does he lie? Do bears crap in the woods. Do other MPs lie? does the pope fart.
I have said this a thousand times and will continue to say it, successive governments and being a member of the EU has done sod all for me in 53 years. Farage and others gave me an opportunity to put two fingers up to the spotty bummed political wasters, and for that I thank him.
For those that are upset he maybe a Sir, shame you did not kick off when that waste of space Cameron and Osborne gave honours to there " done nowt " pals when they quit politics.

Sorry Tash, this is rubbish, you get a chance to put 2 fingers up at every local and general election, Farage is a waste of space drunk, never held political office in this Country, went for the EU on the back of scaremongering gets paid a fortune for not turning up and doesn't work for it, increase in racism, hate crimes and a campaign built on lies, Hitler was successful in the 30's for the Germans using the same tactics when he gave them a voice.

I think you will find that the EU has kept peace and relative stability and prosperity in Europe for that period of time, which were its main objectives. As in 'What have the Romans every done for us?' Apart from the Aquaduct, sanitation, education, peace, law and order, etc,etc! Monty Python's "Life of Brian" 😀

On a point of order I would like to bring to the attention of The Forum the fact that Tashy has posted without using the word "Rammell"
This is a Forum first for a Tashy rant post, so surely means that he must be ill

Get well soon mate :cheers:

Should we be worried?

So you are saying I am a dangerous, misguided lunatic.
Do you EVER stop insulting people because they have a different political opinion to you? Have you paid no attention whatsoever to the countless complaints over remainers insulting brexiteers? Were you were a bad loser at school and resorted to name calling?
This isn't the playground. For crying out loud, grow up.

Except he didn't get the chance to put 2 fingers up at every election because, as he says, on this issue all the parties were the same and none cared about him or people like him.
His detractors on here should know, but probably don't, that Farage and his fellow UKIP MEPs did not seek election to the European Parliament to fulfil an exemplary role as an MEP. They were elected as a protest by their constituents, to be given the chance to highlight the countless failings of the EU right in the heart of Brussels... or Strasbourg depending on which way the wind was blowing. If you took the time to think about it, it's actually pretty obvious.
Are only career politicians allowed to try to change things in this country then?
He doesn't get paid a fortune for not doing anything. He gets paid for doing what his electorate elected him to do. In addition, as I understand it and certainly when they first stood for election UKIP MEPs donated their salaries as MEPs back to the party. On that point, do you really think MEPs of any political hue earn the outrageous salaries and expenses they are paid???
As for scaremongering, really? Did you believe Project Fear? Do you believe in fairies?
As for the Hitler jibe. It's so far beneath contempt it's not worth commenting on. However, considering the value you place on elections I guess you value greatly the voice we are given - as long as it agrees with your own views. Otherwise, best not let the people have their say eh?

I was talking to someone in Kosovo this morning. That peace thing. Not sure why but they didn't really agree with you on that point.
BTW, it's main objective when it was originally set up was a trading union.
As for "what did the romans ever do for us" was a bit before the EU but they like the EU insisted on taking over our country to allow us the benefits of their superior knowledge. If we invaded another country to show the natives the "right way" to do things, you would quite rightly be the first to complain.
As for the Romans bringing us peace? Err, they invaded us. Or did that escape your attention? Oh and there was that little matter of crucifying Christ.

Wrong. Yet again.
He did stand as an MP. Thanet South. You are right though, he didn't gain sufficient support, though the result had been called into question.
I think that puts to bed your chicken accusation.

he's a failed conservative, failed right wing politician, he's been done by trading standards, admitted to claiming over 2 million in tax payers money for expenses as an MEP, investigated by the election office for failure to disclose all income, resigned claiming his job is done then come back.
Please don't hold Farage as some sort of saviour, he's created more division than any other politican in history, his postrrs are lies, he has appealed to the lowest basic instincts in people. IN MY OPINION anyone admiring Farage as a person needs to take a long hard look at themselves, he's an embarrassment.
 
Using the premise that anyone who creates lasting division shouldn't be honoured, I wonder if Lady Thatcher should have got a peerage?

Of course she should, and well deserved. But ask anyone in, for example, a mining community, or Scotland where the Poll Tax was first launched.

Has Farage actually broken any laws, apart from being obnoxious?
