Nigel’s statement. Resigning as MP. Forcing a by-election. Will stand again.

[Ivor Windybottom]

Farage has been a restraining force on the right of politics. He's annoyed many of his own potential voters by being too close to the centre.

The lefty establishment will have scored a massive own-goal by ousting him, they'll be crying for their mummies when we end up with a fully right-wing leader, who will undoubtedly become prime minister not long after.

He's doing it because he wants to be able to say that "the people have spoken".
It's another "man of the people" play.

"The people" who either do not know the details, or do not care about them.

Neither of which absolves him of any culpability, should the Standards Committee find him in breach.

Voters in Clapton cant investigate the allegations, so there will inevitably be a second by election. Apparently the original down payment triggered the banks money laundering systems as Farrage is a PEP (politically exposed person). He is now.

Rupe can only ever take a fraction of Farrages support. So hard/far right politics is destined to be a spent political force, certainly not in power. Inflate those boats

5 million quid is nothing. Our former socialist PM Tony Blair is worth 60 million.

People will vote for absolutely anyone who promises to actually do something, anything about immigration.

The appalling lying mainstream politicians of Red and Blue factions of the establishment have pushed people into a corner. If the outcome is extreme then that is the fault of our current politicians, not the voters or the future leaders.

This is total muppetry on Farages' part

It's probably not going to affect his potential voter base as they likely don't care

Any serious voter would already know that Farage is totally unsuited to public office

Is someone automatically to blame if they receive money from someone who happens to be a criminal?

If a released prisoner walks into Tesco and buys a Meal Deal then are Tesco guilty of receiving dodgy money?

Those 2 scenarios are not comparable at all for obvious reasons

Think about it

 

[Koolpc]

There's no danger to me. I was referring to the gullible fools who believe everything they read on the internet without verifying it, even when it's so obviously fake contrived information.
The fake contrived abusive accusations are in the same league, so obviously fake and contrived but some fools believe it, and build further contrived accusations around it.

Lol, thank you my friend

 

[Koolpc]

To be recycled again.

That is funny

I'm being ridiculous to make a point, obviously.

Lots of the population have criminal records. If everyone they've ever paid is guilty of something then there are a lot of guilty people around.

 

[King Billy]

Irony. You’d know more about recycled members than anyone else on here!

I'm not one of those who make countless accusations based purely on their suspicions.
I'm guessing it's like a child's game for you and your ilk, to see which one is first to make unfounded, unproveable accusations, which serve nothing more than to annoy new members from the outset.

Yes. He was given a gift of £5 million from a friend accused of money laundering for organised crime. No one made him accept it.

And the level of diligence you should do depends on the size of the money and the nature of the transaction.

For example this gift was actually flagged by the bank to the police as possible money laundering itself.

You have quite a vivid imgaination. Have you ever thought about writing comedy sketches?
