Few facts, Tashy admitted he voted and it was years later he realised none of them care, (apart from Uncle Nigel of course)

Cromwell wasn't an elected Politician, please feel free to include Hannibal and Caligula to back up your point.

If you admit Farage is so central to current issues then he is shoukd be responsible, he has none.

Now to break one of my own rules.

Yes I voted to leave the EU, I did that based on facts and not on personality as if I had, I would've abstained, some of us are able to make decisions without being carried away by lies.

I'll ask again, Who is Farage acountable to?

I think you wil find he was, he was. He was elected Member of Parliament for Huntingdon in 1628 and for Cambridge in the Short (1640) and Long (1640–49) parliaments.

Interesting comment there. Hopefully for you he's not a Golfer and reading that.

Maybe you can back up that statement with some facts on his lying and I don't mean whether he has a different view on things like immigration or Brexit but actual Lies.

If you cant then maybe you can be honest enough to take the comment back and admit it wasn't true.

ATM Nicola is trying to keep the UK united despite the best efforts of May and Farage to split it.
A month away from A50 and Scotland is the only country in the UK with an actual plan for Brexit. The other countries/political parties seem to have locked themselves in a cupboardd whilst whistling Rule Britania.
Remember in 2014 the Scots were told that the only way to ensure that they remained in Europe was by voting Naw.

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.

We did invade another country Iraq our politicians totally ignored the people and the EU.

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.

Oh dear - methinks you doth feel hurt too easily. I certainly think that anyone who believes he should get a knighthood is seriously, seriously wrong. The reason for their being so wrong could be one or a combination of many.

Which (btw) was always going to happen - can't really blame the Roman's for being those who ended up carrying out the deed.

Here you go. Patience is a virtue.
You asked if Tashy and me had never voted before UKIP. We both had. What's your point? Did you walk before you got a driving licence?
Cromwell was more devisive. You seem to have an issue with only career politicians being able to have a say or any effect. Caligula was Roman. What is it with Romans that fascinates you remainers? Not sure about Hannibal. But he had elephants so I doubt he was British.
Let's bring this up to date. Is Farage more devisive than Sturgeon?
As previously posted, vote for him or your local UKIP candidate. Make them accountable. Or not. Its your choice. But you can't say they don't want to be accountable.
Happy now?

If you have not yet done so have a listen to Andy Marr's interview of Nicola Sturgeon yesterday in which she is adamant that her current priority is to seek and try and find a compromise position. She does not not step a way one moment from her #1 long term goal being independence, but recognises that compromise is essential.

Do you hear any such talk from Farage - no - of course you don't. And Brexit compromise for the rest of the UK compromise is essential (IMO) if we are going to have any healing of the horrid and toxic rift that has been opened up by the referendum - and by Farage making it OK to say things in public and on public forums that were previously not acceptable. Some will call such views non-PC and complain about such lily-liveredness - but in my mind they are simply not acceptable. Farage is not interested in compromise - he is interested in himself - he seems happy to see the rift he has helped to open, fester and bleed - as long as he gets his Utopia.

Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin

Farage worthy of a Knighthood? - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - oh dear

For me it was same old same old...
Soft Brexit, hard Brexit there'll be calls for Indyref2...
After all, that's what her party is all about...
A bit like UKIP really...

It was actually on 'The News Where You Are' so no excuse for the rude comments we come to expect from the Right Wing squad on here.
Or perhaps they only see/read what they agree with.
As I said May and Farage are the ones seeking to break up the UK.
A Brexit compromise with Scotland/NI is entirely possible and would keep the UK united.
England and Wales can start building their walls/fences and moats if they wish.

Indeed. In truth it was 'the people' who chose Barrabas to survive rather than Christ - not that it was going to make any difference in the end as Christ was always going to be 'Godforsaken' - a bit like Farage would have this country - godforsaken...:(

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.

That will be the same interview where she said compromise or else. She didn't say let's compromise. Sounds more like blackmail to me.

I'd call her bluff. With a budgetary deficit of over £9 billion, and a worse economy than Greece do you really think Germany would take on more debt? And notwithstanding Spain have already said no to Scotland, either staying in or joining separately, as this would cause problems there with the Basque separatists. Scotland voted "no" to indie last time because of fears over their own economy, not as she puts it because it meant Scotland stayed in the EU. And that economy is in a way worse state courtesy of the (eggs in one basket) oil price.

As for the soft Brexit that is on so many people's wishlist. If the EU say yes to a soft Brexit there'll be a queue around the block of countries wanting to cherry pick their way out of the EU.
