Better to have slapped him down with a..... slap.
Maybe then he'd shut up and go away.

Savaged by the Daily Diana, he'll be chastened.

Haaa! Got to love Nigel!

[Jackdaw33]

If I had to choose between Tony and Nigel I know who I'd vote for, and it wouldn't be the former.

[Bazile]

I think Nigel ought to change is stance and argue for a halt in brexit , in order to secure a Knighthood .

He'd certainly go to the top of the list , in time for the Queens b'day list

lol, this is the Farage whose policies included dress codes for restaurants, cheaper beer, abolishing statutory maternity pay and banning wind farms because they hurt fish? Gotta love the sight of him telling other politicians they've got things wrong.

[ToraToraTora]

yes jno but you forgot the most important one, freeing us from tyranny.

[naomi24]

jno //Gotta love the sight of him telling other politicians they've got things wrong. //

But he's right isn't he? Most of them have.

We've an old saying, 'They're a' oot o' step 'cept oor Jock'.

// Wrong on the ERM, wrong on the €uro. //

The ERM fiasco was in 1992, long before Blair was prominent, and was a John Major/Geoffrey Howe production. During Blair’s 10 years as PM, he never reversed the decision to withdraw.

Likewise, during the Blair Premiership, the UK kept with the pound sterling. We never joined the €uro.

Farage isn’t making any sense. Is he saying we should have rejoined the ERM and ditched the pound? If he is not say that, then jow was Blair wrong?

jno 'lol, this is the Farage whose policies included dress codes for restaurants, cheaper beer, abolishing statutory maternity pay and banning wind farms because they hurt fish?'

Dress codes for restaurants; Why not? It's a good way of keeping scruffy, ill mannered oiks out.
Cheaper Beer; Got my vote right there.
Abolishing statutory maternity pay; Too right it should be abolished. Great auld ruse for the workshy in their non-jobs. Only thing is, the employers need bottomless pockets, ie. Councils, NHS, etc. This, and similar nonsense is why normal people in normal jobs are all on temporary contracts with agencies, sans any 'rights' whatsoever.
Banning wind farms; We shouldn't be subsidising any power generation to please the Global Warming fantasists.

gromit; "Likewise, during the Blair Premiership, the UK kept with the pound sterling. We never joined the €uro. " - Blair probably wanted to join thankfully Gordon saw the folly and kept us out.

[Gromit]

Tora,
If Blair had have want to ditch the pound, he would have. He had a huge majority and 3 terms as PM.
To say he ‘probably’ wanted to do but didn’t is a really feeble misrepresentation of what actually happened.

[ToraToraTora]

yes maybe but he'd done a deal with Gordon to give him a free hand at Chancellor and Gordon's opposition to the Euro was well known. Tony could have pushed it through but at a cost, probably thought better of it.

When "The Guvnor" said, "In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ends it.” do you think he had another vote in mind?

[Togo]

TTT It must have been that "clunking great fist" as Bliar himself called it.... I mean who wants to be fisted by Brown. Haha the only thing that Bliar got right was because he was shifting himself. (^_*)

TCL:"When "The Guvnor" said, "In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ends it.” do you think he had another vote in mind? " - UKIP/Farage exist for a specific purpose, the clue is in their name, so if they had failed to win they would have continued until they won that is the nature of the party. So yes I would expect them to keep trying why would they not?

[ichkeria]

As I mistakenly wrote elsewhere: I thought by ‘guvnor’ you must mean your beloved Jeremy, Blair’s party leader :-)

[ToraToraTora]

now if remain want to stay in or more likely rejoin then they should start their own party called, say, UKDP and start campaigning for their goal as UKIP have. Who knows they may force a future PM into conceding a referendum and then win it. Simples!
