Honours For Brexiteers

[sp1814]

With three leading pro-Brexit ministers being knighted in the New Year's Honours list (Graham Brady, Christopher Chope and Geoffrey Clifton-Brown), does Nigel Farage's conspiracy theory regarding his lack of ennoblement still hold water?

Clifton-BrowN has had an unremarkable political career. He is a former whip, and is Chairman of the Conservatives International Committee.
Just another time server.

Christopher Chope is anothe Chairman, of Conservative Way Forward.

His parliamentary activity is well worth a read - a bit of a loon.

...and TonyAv is on the wrong thread

Yes I think I am, ve.

Saint Nigel will not be honoured because he rocked the establishment to the core, he mullered them all without ever setting foot in the house, the snout in trough lickspittle popinjays will never forgive that. He took away their retirement home, he smashed their tyranny. His place in history is assured, baubles are not necessary.

ichkeria: "It never held water in the first place. I can only repeat: what would Farage expect a knighthood for? " - PMSL how dense are you? see above love!

[Zacs-Master]

Tora, how do you square your hatred of the EU with your support of Farage who in a Foreign Press Association speech given by him back in 2009, admitted that over his period as a Member of the European Parliament he had received a total of £2 million of taxpayers' money in staff, travel, and other expenses?

[ToraToraTora]

Simple, he's akin to an undercover agent, sent to smash it from within.

TTT

Will Farage be taking his pension as an MEP?

[ToraToraTora]

yes I hope so, he above all others has earnt it.

[Zacs-Master]

Haaaaaaaaaa! Of course he is. Worth every penny eh.

[ichkeria]

I don’t really follow you tora: if Farage is a figure of hate for the ‘establishment’ as you suggest then the question ‘why would he expect an honour?’ is even more pertinent

[emmie]

even if he was honoured, i wonder would he take it?

[mikey4444]

Emmie....my best guess on that is that Farage would anything to get his face in the papers again.

About the only place that he is still mentioned in Britain these days is on AB !

[ichkeria]

He’s probably holding out for a peerage :-)
