Sir Nigel Farage?

Loving hearing Man for all Brexiters but Struggling to find Relevance Today - Nigel Farage - thrashing around in his LBC programme wondering why the journalists and media aren't hammering Hancock for his testing numbers - delivered and capacity...and just about everything he can think of to criticise the govenrment.

His programme should be essential listening for all Brexiters who hung off his every utterance back then - and can now hear him moaning about Hancock; Johnson; testing; tracing; the tracing app; massive, massive data concerns; and ending (or not) of lockdown etc.

But would the Farage-loving Brexiters criticise him as they would criticise such as I or the BBC) were we to ever ask such challenging questions...? Well maybe they would. :)

Whoa Neddy!

He was never the Man for all Brexiteers. I dare say if you put a survey up here asking all those Brexit voters whether or not they were Farage fan boys you might well be very surprised by the outcome. At the very least you will find out that your "for all Brexiteers" is a million miles away from being accurate.
 
Please.........let us deal with this flaming virus before taking on the additional burden that Brexit will cause to the UK.
As for Farage......just let sleeping dogs lie.
Not just yesterday's man but never was man.

If we give Farage 'oxygen' he will continue to spout his stuff. I'm all for just turning away when he speaks. If enough do it, his employers will look for someone else. Can't remember the last time I heard him speak ir read about him.... its working.

That's because you dont hang around talk radio stations like LBC. It takes a certain kind of fixation.
 
He's still spouting his stuff nightly on LBC to his adoring audience - and unfortunately they are many. And they are listening.

And so this evening - as I haven't had a chance to turn him off as he trails his programme - he leads with XXXX folks coming into the UK when the pandemic was new in the UK and only YYY were tested...'Don't you think the government should apologise'. And as usual he is criticising the press for not asking critical questions of Raab this evening.

And topic #2 - ah - Brexit - he's on about something positive for UK once we have left. I'm about to switch off before he starts

But beautifully he is still playing Trump's introducing him way back then 'Mr Nigel Farage'. And he foloows that with 'Thankyou Donald' :)

He must be thinking that his future lies with the Orange Man across the Water.

CLICK! And he's Gone. Whoever thought it worthwhile giving this guy airtime.

I always liked Nigel as a British sounding name, but as for Brexit, it's really none of my business.

My job is to come up with a catchy shortened name for Blue State Exit.

How about BS Exit? Aka Trump losing the election! (Unfortunately unlikely imo, but worth hoping for).
Won't totally stop the BS, but would certainly seem likely to reduce it, a worthy achievement imo!

Btw. I do get what you mean by Blue State; just aiming it at a (possibly) smallercloser (timewise) target.

And there are the rant brigade out there listening to him.

You continue to spout your prejudices by suggesting that you had to be a Farage fan to want Brexit. Bit like those who voted Tory this time aren't right wing fanatics as suggested by some forums members.

Never suggested such a thing - and it's obviously completely not the case.
 
I was wondering why Farage was missing from LBC - at least towards the end of the week - then I learned that Trump had got him into the US without the need for quarantine so that he could be part of Trump's warm-up act to the vast throngs who were going to be at the outside overflow event in Tulsa. Except the overflow event was cancelled as they could only 1/3rd fill the main venue.

Ach poor Nigel. Think he needs to kick-start the Brexit Party to make sure Johnson doesn't do anything slippy-slidey over the Brexit transition period - Farage needs to find a purpose in life other than continually criticising Johnson over almost everything Johnson and the Tories currently do.
