Love him or hate him, there's no denying he was the main impetus over many years that enabled us to have our say on the eu, at last. For that momentous place in the history books, Farage deserves a Knighthood and a Peerage for good measure. Obviously anyone who voted to Remain is always going to hate the man, because things hav'nt gone their way. Arise Sir Nige!!
 
Nigel Farage and the historical Jesus actually share a number of similarities. Both were anti-establishment trouble makers and both were prone to come out with a few cracking tall tales.

The main difference is Nigel was successful...

Being a catalyst for something momentous (which leaving the EU is) does not in any way confer any rights of knighthood. This is especially the case when that momentous event is, and will probably continue to be, as divisive, toxic and damaging to social cohesion in the country as Brexit is and will be. Nothing to do with whether I dislike the guy or not.

Aye - but he cannae walk on water...though maybe if he says he can then many will believe him.

And Sturgeon recognises and accepts that Scotland itself was split - with over a million voting to Leave - and that in Scotland a compromise and healing over Brexit are required. She sees that that rift in Scotland must be healed however best it can - and then sometime in the future Indyref2 can be addressed.

Marr asked her how long she would hold off another Independence vote if she was given a soft Brexit. She wouldn't comment and only indicated it might be until the article 50 talks had ended. Two years, BIG DEAL!

Sir Nigel for services to winding up the snowflakes.

Unfortunately he has done more than wind up the snowflakes - he has wound up the bigots into a tightly coiled spring and released them, and off they have gone on their merry way. Marvellous. Well done Nigel et al.

Can't disagree with you too much on that one. Although it might be interpreted as the bigots have taken advantage of the situation... whatever way its spun a 58% rise in hate crime is a frightening stat.

So the Bigots weren't Bigots before and were made Bigots by Nigel. I hear people suggesting he is a liar, that he is a racist and so on but cant see evidence to support these allegations, surely they are not bigoted opinions or hate crimes being used against him are they.

That is a massive increase.......In my opinion a 5% increase would be a worrying trend.....tenfold that is scary.
Welcome to the brave new world of UKIP, courtesy of the man some misguided fools think should be knighted.

So are you suggesting it's UKIP policy to carry out hate crimes? I suggest you are as Bigoted as those you accuse.
