Farage desperately trying to justify why he had no choice but to do a deal
with Robert Iwaszkiewicz, a holocaust denier. AB is awash with UKIP supporters. I invite them to comment on why their Party of choice would want anything to do with someone like Mr Iwaszkiewicz.

In your own time !

Not in my house you don't! The only three times we have had fleas, humans brought them into the house. DH did it once from an infested taxi (Taxi firm contacted us and apologised), the other two times it was me due to the job I was doing.

[mikey4444]

Thanks Woofy !

[mikey4444]

Forgot to add...UKIP did this to get even more money from Brussels than it does at present, which to give him some small credit, Farage actually admits in this link.

[Orderlimit]

Thats bizarre woofgang, a flea infested taxi?

[Tilly2]

Nor in my house!

The OP has answered his own question. It's all about money, and Farage is not to blame for that, the EU is.

[Slapshot]

I thought of Ambrose Pierce first ..... "Alliance - in international politics, the union of two thieves who have their hands so deeply inserted in each other's pockets that they cannot separately plunder a third"
...but Chuck Hagel seem more real "Alliances and international organizations should be understood as opportunities for leadership and a means to expand our influence, not as constraints on our power."

Howmany leaders make alliances that we'd balk at to make progress.... Churchill/Stalin???

[BlackadderV]

A propos Churchill/Stalin, Churchill remarked, "My enemy's enemy is my friend".

Going by an Article in The Telegraph

It would appear that it is Janusz Ryszard Korwin-Mikke the KNP,
(Robert Iwaszkiewicz's Party) Leader who is the Holocaust Denier, and not Mr Iwaszkiewicz himself.

[Baldric]

As usual mikey don't let the facts get in the way of a good uninformed rant!

[mikey4444]

I was just about to say that blackadder, but it doesn't seem to make sense in this case.

Perhaps I should ask a supplementary question...apart from money, what other advantages does Farage think he will get by associating with this Polish charmer ?

[BlackadderV]

None. I repeat, it's all about the ackers.

[mikey4444]

Ok...lets ask another question then...why is Farage getting into bed with an MEP who is from the a Party that has a Holocaust denier as Leader ?

By the way, it won't harm anybody if they watch the link first and see what questions that Andrew Neil asks !

[rodders123]

The same advantage as weak kneed Cameron licking Clegg's backside.

[mikey4444]

Thanks Blackadder...a honest answer, which is always welcome. So...come on you AB UKIP voters...what say you ?

[Slapshot]

Because they have a mutualish aim within Europe Mikey why else do people make alliances.... they do so because it's mutually beneficial...

Cameron got to form a government, Clegg got to feel vaguely important for a while

[ChillDoubt]

Nice try mikey. Still got this paranoid fixation with a politician form a 'minor party' eh?

What did you make of this at the time?:

In your own time........

[Baldric]

Ok, watched the Link, even Andrew Neil makes the point it is the Party Leader who is the Holocaust Denier!

[BlackadderV]

I think that we are missing the elephant in the room. Why does the EU hand out so much more money to groups of 25 than groups of 24?

[mikey4444]

Nice try Chili, but way off topic. Straw certainly made a mistake but it wasn't an alliance. We are talking about Farage and UKIP here. Why do YOU think he is making this alliance ? ( apart from the money, of course, which has already been answered ? )

Come on...plenty of UKIP supporters must still be up at this late hour...defend your chosen Leader !
