Quote
[Farage] said hardly any of them had ever done a proper job in their lives, or created one.

This is an ex banker politician who rarely bothered to turn up to do his job as an MEP who has participated in the destruction of our economy and likely caused massive job losses.

Farage certainly knows how to bring out the worst in people, which shows how easily led some folk are!

I often wonder whether his plane crash really was an accident.

 ;D
That is quite funny, I remember a lot of people saying the same at the time (before anyone jumps on me, I do know it wouldn't really be funny).

He is quite an odd character and I cannot imagine him seriously believing in anything including what he spouts, he seems to have merely jumped on a particular bandwagon and capitalising on it as much as possible.

Throughout his political life he has certainly upset a lot of powerful people.

Dear Forum,

How to win friends and influence people.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/36650014

A grown up discussion, good start, who's laughing now, cut your noses off to spite your face, insults :o

We have a loose cannon, or rather a loose mouth in the halls of Brussels, one chap behind him was in fits of laughter, I hope that is what every member of the EU see him as, a clown to be laughed at :(

Gonnagle.
I will now read posts very carefully and then using the two God given brains cells that I have reply as if I am talking to a two year old, yes that should suffice as a gentle reminder✝️✝️✝️❤️

Farage made a complete idiot of himself, it would have been funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

Farage is now busily ruining our chances with any deal with the EU

Omg I can't believe this, you have to hear him to believe what he is saying........

I just want one of those shepherds crooks that they use to haul people off stage when they are embarrassing.

I mean telling the rest of the Meps that they have never held a decent job in their lives, have been dishonest and threatening behaviour ( well I think telling them that no trade deals with us is going to be worse for them  :o the way he puts it is threatening)

Farage has to go............ He isn't helping us at all.....

I was so shocked to hear this.

It isn't just bad...... It's not the sort of behaviour I want representing us.

He has to go........ The man is a nightmare..... He's a liability far worse than flippin Brexit.....

Just written to my MP to let him know this sort of behaviour isn't acceptable, given our current situation, and I don't want this man representing me.

I want him removed before he makes a very bad situation worse than it already is.

I started another thread, missed this one.

I was so shocked at his behaviour I've written to my MP to complain about it. ( I came across the video while looking at BBC news)

The way I see it is, he is going to make a bad situation worse if left in place, as we need some goodwill ATM.

Things are hard and complicated enough as it is, without him stirring the pot.

He isn't in the best interests of this country, he's going to sour the whole proceedings.

It is funny in one sense, but he could make it harder for all of us, if instead of laughing someone gets offended.

Farage is like Johnny English, a complete idiot, incompetent , but less likeable and without the happy ending. ::)

One thread is an open letter to Farage - if there is another one apart from this I haven't seen it.

Lots of people start threads about the same old thing Rose, time and time again, and say a lot less, you may not have noticed  ;D.  It doesn't matter.  If the mods think it necessary they'll combine the two.

Farage is sounding off so his ignoramus supporters hear him.  They'll believe him and echo what he says.  The rest of us will feel as you do or else ignore him.  However - he is undeniably dangerous, a snake in the grass.

Moderator:

I'll merge the recent new thread into this one, and remove posts noting that there are two threads.

Done

Omg!

The EU leaders have accused Farage of lies and Nazi Propaganda  :o

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36648664

Plus he got told

"Finally we are going to get rid of the biggest waste in the EU budget, which we have paid for 17 years, your salary!" he told Mr Farage.
"

Arrrgh!

Farage is the wrong person...... :o
I'm surprised they put up with him for 17years.

Given all the claims about how all our laws are made in Europe, it's fairly ironic that today we've probably had more coverage of a discussion in the EU Parliament than we've had in total before.

Assuming his views are much the same as the rest of the Leave campaign, I don't think his views are wrong, it's the way he talks. Maybe it's the effect of the beer.

Farage is a European version of Mr Trump. He is a warning of what happens when people vote for fruitcakes as a protest vote.

I don't think Farage is insane, like I believe Trump to be. But voting for the likes of them would certainly flush any sort of human decency down the drain.

I'd more concerned now Farage has gone, Suzanne Evans, Douglas Carswell are not as divisive and could see UKIP become more popular.
