And you say listen to Blair. Is Blair very important? You want Blair to have a platform and to be listened to but not Farage....

The cornerstone of British law is the term “natural justice,” which starts with a point on bias. It then goes on to a point of the “right to be heard.” Your bias and affected affront at Farage’s right to be heard really goes against the very ethos of natural justice.

I can’t stand the man one jot but he has exactly the same right to be heard as Blair. Those that decry that right need to have a look at themselves.

I am more than happy to listen to Farage (that's why I often listen to his LBC radio programme 7pm Mon-Thurs and for ten minutes Sunday am). Indeed I am not complaining that he is going - after all is he not the leader of the largest group of UK MEPs in Brussels and so has every right to be there.

But to suggest that he is going 'to put forward the views of Leave voters as these views are not being put ot Barnier?'. I think Barnier is likely to be very aware of the views of UK Leave voters - and so I suggest that what Farage is doing is a wee bit bit of self-important grandstanding (as many will say Blair does equally). But please Nigel I hope you don't do your usual down-right rude stuff with Barnier.

UKIP self-destructing and Nigel Farage a couple of weeks back predicting a further referendum - indeed at first talking of wanting a further referendum before rowing back a little - but stressing the need for Leave supporters to actively make the case for Leave as Remain voices dominate the debate. No surprise perhaps then that for the last few months he has been asking callers to his LBC programme if there is still a place for UKIP and in the last two weeks talking about a new party. And so we await the launch of the his new Fight for Britain party. He has set the groundwork for an about-turn on his 'I'm out of politics' statements. And maybe one day to a knighthood as he flies the flag for his vision for Britain.

I am surprised you are surprised Nige is missing the gravy train of being a politician... He's upset too many to have been offered high paying directorships like many other political toads like DaveCam and Georgie boy...

Believe he has considered a crowd funding political party...
Now that would be interesting...
Think if Brexit gets whitewashed that'll open the door for him...
Beyond that can't see any other opening for him..

I am convinced we'll hear something from him sooner rather than later - he won't wait for a Brexit whitewash (rush of commonsense to the head :) )

LOL

Let's see how Farage interviews Henry Bolton this evening on LBC at 7pm

Heard a perfectly pleasant and rational-sounding lady this morning telling Nick Ferrari on LBC how the controversy around Henry Bolton was an establishment/elite conspiracy to undermine and oust him. Quite why they want to do that she couldn't explain.

If you try and play a fiddle half your age...
There's an inevitability of it all going wrong..

Indeed there is. When I look at Bolton and Marney together I cannot but think Profumo and Keeler

He says he parted from his wife in July last year - though as far as she was concerned it was a surprise when he disappeared out of the door in December to hitch up with Marney.

But that aside - I'm afraid any 54 yr old bloke leaving his wife and two (or is it three) children for a 25 yr old topless actress and model makes me wonder about how he perceives himself.

Burns had it right for us all when such things present themselves

“Oh would some Power the gift give us, to see ourselves as others see us.”

And Farage is having a real go at Bolton. Maybe Farage wants to completely sink good ship Bolton so he can launch a refitted good ship Farage
 
Farage not unsupportive of Bolton - but will not positively support him at a forthcoming UKIP EGM - at which Farage requires UKIP to reform. And it doesn't...

Why do you care so much what they do?
 
Just been listening to Mick McGough of the UKIP NEC and David Coburn Leader UKIP in Scotland talking about Henry Bolton. Oh dear God - and some folks vote for these people...:(
 
And so with the sit-on-the-fence nonsupport support from Nigel Farage, Henry Bolton is going to go to a forthcoming UKIP EGM where he will present a new UKIP constitution and seek a mandate from the UKIP membership (notwithstanding the fact that 6 of his senior frontbenchers have resigned over him). UKIP members seem to like a fighter. All well and good.

But wait...he tells Farage last night and Ferrari (both on LBC) this morning that after all is sorted out, and he is re-established as UKIP leader with a new UKIP constitution in place - he might well go back to his floozie Marney. Does he not quite get it?

And boy - Alan Sked (UKIP founder) has been ferociously critical of both Bolton and Farage as both being 100% self and not at all interested in UKIP members.

All's well in UKIP then? Doesn't feel that it will end well.

And so verily it could come to pass that For Britain - Founder and Leader Nigel Farage - didst spring from the rubble of UKIP?

The nice little soap opera about confused and bickering UK 'nationalists' continues - Paul Nuttall seems a long time ago.

Genuine question as I haven't been following the story...

on BBC news this morning............is the call for UKIPs leader to resign due to texts sent by his ex-girlfriend? I am sure they said "ex" - If that's right, not sure how he is responsible for that... or am I missing something.

...and people vote for them you say? I guess we have an IRA/HAMAS/HEZZBOLLAH supporter leading the Labour Party - and people vote for that!!

Lets see.... one wants to leave the EU and cut immigration.

T'others used to leave bombs on UK streets and the other lot openly advocate the mass murder of Jews.

I wonder?
 
They got 1.8% of the vote at the GE, and no seats. I can't believe the air time that is given to this odious man and UKIP. They make a lot of noise, and its headline grabbing because the media tell us its headline grabbing.... honestly, I've long since written them off as a non-entity in British politics. The Leave party is, and was at the time of the vote, the Tories, voting 61% leave. Add the large number of Labour(35%), Libdem(32%) and that's where the overall Leave number came from.

UKIP generated less than 300,000 votes, yet Labour had over 4,000,000 Leave voters.

Why oh why do people focus on UKIP?
