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

[Mottie]

You mean he's cleaned up his act? Handed the bribe back? Turned the clock back on accepting bribes from a convicrted criminal?

The damage is done. The fact that your average Clacton RWR, is as dumb as a brick, has no bearing.

Says the bloke who said Starmer would see his full term out.

 

[blup]

All part of the plan, blup.

Nige can’t stand either, that’s where the plot dissolves. Rupe won’t want to come second to make Nige look good.

In the interest of accuracy, I think he used the term 'Sir Keir'.

 

[SPLINE]

.....if he's been dishonest and isn't acting in the best interest of the electorate then he needs to be gone

NO HE DOESN'T! None of the accusations, true or otherwise, matter to the bigger picture. We need politicians to stop mass immigration. I would vote for Jimmy Savile, Gary Glitter and Peter Sutcliffe if they could manage that.

'Look a squirrel', say the fawning Fromagists.

The damage is done boyos.

The BBC refer to him as sire, too.

If they were in charge it would certainly keep people away!
To be fair to Peter Sutcliffe he did help to keep the population down.

 

[Koolpc]

Well I really think that this by-election shouldn't go ahead. All the parties are not putting candidates forward. The enquiry needs to run it's course first.

 

[King Billy]

Farage, principle, in the same sentence?
The man who sung anti-Semitic songs at Jewish pupils, then denied it, then admitted it was just banter?

That's a lie

The testimonies are there:

According to multiple testimonies corroborated by an investigation by The Guardian, contemporaries of Farage in the 1970s and 1980s claimed that he:

• Sang songs about gassing Jews and minority ethnic groups.
• Made hissing noises mimicking gas chambers to Jewish pupils.
• Told Jewish students "Hitler was right" and "Gas them".

Farage's Response
Farage has consistently and vehemently denied these allegations. While acknowledging that he was a "stand out" pupil who may have said "ridiculous" things as a schoolboy, he described the accounts as politically motivated smears and "made-up fantasies". He maintains that he has "never directly really tried to go and hurt anybody" or directly racially abused anyone

Farage frequently threatens to sue, but rarely does so.
Why would he not on this occasion?

 

[King Billy]

Good old Nige, a masterstroke.
I wonder, if he's re-elected, will there be anything to be investigated by the electoral commission as the £5 mil gift would have been well over 12 months before he was (re)elected?

It doesn't work like that.

 

[King Billy]

I reckon a big % of MP's have skeletons in their wardrobes and also have been used to accepting nice 'gifts'. That's part and parcel of politics at that level. In America it is much worse!

Squirrels!
Where?

 

[King Billy]

Not to mention walking into a directorship a few months after leaveing the very job in government that was in charge of regulating the same sector.
The revolving job door of politics.

There are rules. They can't just "walk-in" to any job that's offered after leaving.

Retiring politicians face post-employment restrictions. In the UK, former government ministers leaving office must consult the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards regarding any new jobs within two years.

If you imagine something is real and truthful, and blurt it out without thinking or verifying if it is true, don't be surprised if your claims, allegations or accusations ae checked and found to be false.

Exactly. It's the norm when it comes to being an MP.

The first step in not being super gullible is to not believe everything you read on the internet.

 

[King Billy]

So he hoodwinked every news channel and radio station

He believes he's the master at hoodwinking people.
But most see through his denials and side-stepping to see the real Farage.

 

[King Billy]

If you read my post properly you would realise that was not my angle on it. I didn't particularly comment on what he said or if the contents of it were genius.

'Played a blinder', 'Hoodwinked everybody', 'his statement was worded to make them think' are your comments which you deny is describing his 'angle or what he said?
How would you classify your comments then, if they weren't about his 'angle' or what he said?

 

[King Billy]

They’re redundant, nobody’s standing against Nige from the main parties. This promises to be a stunning result for the Monster Raving Loony party

It's their best chance ever of winning a seat.
All the electorate can honestly say, "we voted for the Monster Raving Looney party", without specifying which one, exactly.
