Nigel Farage

[Bigbad]

For those who are interested, there’s a program on Channel 4 tonight at 9 called Farage: The Man Who Made Brexit.

Just watched him speak in the European Parliament, where he got cut off for a few seconds at the end of his speech for having the audacity to wave a flag.

Well done Mr. Farage and thank you.

//Farage and his cronies behaved as if they were in kindergarten.//

Somewhat like the '*** to Brexit' shirts worn by the LibDem MEPs then. What a hoot they were.

ps. I didn't see the programme, but well done Mr Farage.

I think it must only be remainers who believed the amount on the bus that said it COULD be spent on the NHS read ‘will be’.

Personally I wouldn’t spend one penny of it on the NHS. It has enough it’s just wasteful and inefficient.

I would be more inclined to spend a windfall of that size on old age care because we will all get old at some point.

Any left over I would put into mental health.

It bears saying once again. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the bus, it had nothing whatsoever to do with Farage.
Many people on here have explained this many times but still certain posters insist on conflating the two.
I suspect I know why they do it but I don't want to get my post removed.

No, but instead the person who was behind it (or at least the figurehead behind it) is now running the country and selling tea towels.

Cloverjo; Never mind what was said on a bus, or how to interpret it ( a court ruled it was accurate btw) 'According to figures from the House of Commons Library, since Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath took Britain into the European Economic Community (EEC) – the precursor to the EU – in 1973, total UK payments to the EU budget amounted to £215billion when adjusted for inflation.

The UK is a net contributor to the EU budget, which means that it contributes more than it receives back from it.

Germany, with a net contribution of €12.8billion (£11billion), was the largest contributor in 2017, followed by the UK, with €7.43billion (£6.55billion).'

Well, for what must be the umpteen time, yes it was real, and no, as all can see, it says absolutely nothing about spending £350M on the NHS. That is the same picture folk like to show in order to prove they are wrong, or at least that's the only reason I can come up with why they show it since clearly no one could accidentally misunderstand the plain English written there.

I see the old bus nonsense was trotted out again.
Some people just see what they want to see, rather than the actual words written.

BA to cassa for her comment “Personally I wouldn’t spend one penny of it on the NHS. It has enough it’s just wasteful and inefficient”.
I completely agree.
