  1. you don't have to pursue an already popular agenda to be a populist - that would be a follower not a leader. Mr. Farage (who's name - unless i'm wrong - rhymes with carriage not barge) clearly has appeal, is clearly clever, knows how to play games, knows how to wind folk up, knows about agenda-setting, understands business, money and is a strong communicator. and yes, probably has common person principles, decent standards and is more than likely an overall good bloke on a personal level. me, i just don't like (what i see as) his Russian-style moseleyish oligarchical-like fascism by stealth. he's the right-wing equivalent of Mr. Corbyn - a political limpet on the hull of the good ship democracy. they're there, they're going nowhere but if they could they would spring a leak. in as much as i don't like much of what he says i would still defend his right to say it although i would also look to fight or pushback if he were to deny me equivalence especially if the trumpian mentality of shut em down rose to power in what is effectively harnessing dimensions of arrogance, exceptionalism and double-standards (known or unknown) that instinctively i have reservations about.

  4. he raised the cause, he put the work in, he pushed it up the agenda, he helped to divide britain and he got out before the Conservatives delivered Brexit. he either done good or he ruined it marmiting the unilevers of EU-UK power.

  11.  @TheSaltyAdmiral  yeah but what about if someone (anyone) just say you are wrong, insults you and mixes in something else to confuse people about what this is all about. or is not about. what will you do then? just say nothing and retreat in silence? say something and delight the triggerer?

  23. even if that is fact, 4m new people on the island of Great Britain was never the declared intent of UKIP policy. as far as i know. maybe that info was privy to Brexit shareholders. must have been an inside thing. must have been a private agenda for Brexiteers and Brexiteyes only that one.
