Comments by "M R" (@emm_arr) on "Diamonds, guns and Russian cash: The extraordinary new claims against Arron Banks" video.

  1. The troll brigade that defends Banks and whatabouterises is usually here by now.

  2. There was - but the Telegraph was forced to apologise for lapsing into anti-Semitism and innuendo. How odd that rightist media don't usually do that - after all, they have the money to investigate and report the truth here. I think the truth is that Soros is pretty clean, but Banks is as dirty as dogshit.

  3. "Scraping the barrel with this aren’t they?" No - but your post is.

  4. We know about that.THIS IS ABOUT BANKS.

  5. "It is about Banks" Clearly so. "but it's a non story" Clearly not. "What has he done that is illegal?" If you can't work that out, I can't help you. "No concrete allegations" That's a lie. "and at the end of the ten minutes they admitted there was no wrongdoing" That's also a lie. You're either thick or a liar. Maybe both.

  6. It looks like a charges and trial at this point - or a relocation to Moscow.

  7. Banks usually has more online keyboard warriors defending his honour.

  8. "The Soviets referred to people such as yourself as useful idiots." You're being one right now. THIS IS ABOUT BANKS. I might keep saying that.

  9. Nice whataboutery!

  10. Michael Black - that is silly. Banks looks dirty, but that doesn't mean Soros is. If anything, Soros appears to have been perfectly legitimate since he started his city career.

  11. 'The benchmark for "legitimacy" is whether they're on your political side or not.' No. That's the game dimwits, arses and tribalist goons play. You're playing it now - and not very deftly. Tell you what - you, as a citizen of somewhere or other - can produce evidence to the police about Soros. I am assumimg you have this and and not just an innuenedo merchant.

  12. You should try avoiding it some time.

  13. "Basically a civil legal case in South Africa between two businessmen" Basically a total misrepresentation! Nice try, but no!

  14. No. I've had good reason to think Banks was dirty in 2016. He went from business difficulties to Brexit largesse in months. How? You are the dupe or a useful idiot.
    2
  15. "And there we go, straight to type of a far left winger" Er, I am not! 'then sling name calling around in a vain attempt to “offend”' No. You are lying. Try pasting the alleged insult in your next post.

  16. "No police interest" He's currently being investigated in the UK by the National Crime Agency. A small detail the FT published recently ... ... so you're just being a useful idiot yet again. It's Project Useful Idiot and you're performing again.

  17. "I fully recognise my partiality and wear it on my sleeve as I think it is the only honest way to live." That's curious as it has led you to silly thinking whereby Banks looking dirty gets you to whelp about Soros. Poor. You can be better than that.

  18. Laughable. You keep posting that. Banks is in trouble now.

  19. BdaMonkey, and he's not even very good at it.

  20. You didn't really understand that video.

  21. "MR - well, just explain it to me and maybe others!" No. You watch it until you understand it. If you can't understand it, then you should not comment. "or is it just the msm grasping onto to his UKIP links tp create a story?" No. Nice try.

  22. Isn't it a little odd that Banks seems to have raised money for this diamond mine - and the threw the money into Brexit - and nobody has done what normal investors or lenders would do in this situation ... ... which is to start legal proccedings. Most odd. Truly, truly odd. Innit?!

  23. Funny you should say that. My understanding is that the NCA can apply to restrict people's ability to leave the UK.

  24. "You back up your claim of ‘suspicion’ first....but you cant." I can. Private Eye broke this one. "Painting yourselves into corners only makes YOU people more angry and aggressive like any wounded animal trapped with its back against the wall." So why do you sound more aggressive than me, eh? "Your ‘suspicion’ is based on what again?" Facts related to a remarkable business turnaround. "Are you also a flat earther i now ponder?" Tell me when you decide what I am. I'll grade you on your reasoning "But please, give me this hard evidence and i will probably agree with you." You won't. Try the Private Eye website: I am afraid I don't index what I read to help people like you out.

  25. "And there you go again....triggered, emotional attempts at ‘insults’." I am far from "triggered" or emotional. You're certainly closer as you're imagining insults. The term "useful idiot" is not an insult. I have dictionaries in my house. Check yours.

  26. "And there you go again" More whataboutery and distraction. Private Eye: Banks suddenly had lots of money for Brexit. How?

  27. BdaMonkey, and he's STILL TRYING TO AVOID SOME INCONVENIENT INFORMATION! He's so predictable.
    1
  28. "Still no evidence i see....just ‘opinion’ and gossip." Now you are lying. The video shows that to be a lie - on top of what you have been told in the thread. You're reduced to lying! Nice. You must feel like this is going your way.

  29. "Must be those pesky Russians right" That's what it's looking like. Go on - try again.

  30. It's looking like Fek had fekked off and now she's back with more silly whataboutery to distract. It's still about Banks. This thread will always be about Banks.

  31. That's another attempt at distraction from Banks - and not a good one.

  32. That's another attempt at distraction from Banks - and not a good one. Am I supposed to take your posts seriously at this point?
    1
  33. It looks like Fek has fekked off again. I don't think she's looking very plausible at this stage. It's quite funny.

  34. No. Banks' business turnaround in 2016 was suspicious - if not plain abnormal - and was reported in Private Eye in 2016. It would suit Banks for you to think that.

  35. Awww. You have to resort to smears. You sound like a kid who knows he's wrong in the playground.
    1
  36. Why, thank you. I don't know about you, but I think people defaecating the sort of inanities we've seen here tonight is harmful. Any sort of view based on lies or deceit is a view that should be rethought.

  37. "But on both sides we knew what we were voting for" Allegedly! It strikes me that "whose vested interests" applies to Banks himself. It's motive for his dishonesties - and evidence of these is mounting each passing week. Isn't it?
    1
  38. "No, it isn't mounting each passing week." Yes it is. "That is one of the techniques being used by the ongoing Remain campaign to try to overturn Brexit." Implausible. He's already got the NCA looking into this.
    1
  39. "As for both sides knowing why we voted Leave or Remain, yes we did" You actually said "on both sides we knew what we were voting for", but some leave voters clearly did not and even appeared in TV interviews as their usual unknowledgeable selves. "Remainers had their priorities; Leavers had theirs; and of course they were different." Both groups are rather diverse and you are talking simplistic guff with silly generalisations like that. But none of that - not one bit - affects the mounting evidence of Arron Banks' wrongdoing and lack of honesty. It's possible to support Brexit without being a keyboard warrior for that man.

  40. "Why doesn't channel 4 news come up with a nasty story about a remainer or are they all saints?" That's so dumbed-down! "Because it's not part of their agenda they are so biased it's so predictable they manipulate interviews to discredit brexit continuously." Stick with news for dimwits.

  41. It's you who looks stupid with that comment. It's how you tell 'em! Boom boom!

  42. "Why doesn't channel 4 news come up with a nasty story about a remainer or are they all saints?" That's the most idiotic comment so far this evening.
