I know I sort-of promised to ignore this shambles of a Party, but I couldn't resist !

Isn't it time for Farage to stand up again and volunteer for a 4th time as UKIP Leader ?

your obsession with UKIP is worrying mikey! why do they task you so? Their work is done, worry not, they have freed us from EU tyranny.

[mikey4444]

TTT....but its so much fun ! It winds up people like you and Naomi, so it can't be all bad !

[naomi24]

It doesn't wind me up, Mikey - I couldn't give a hoot about UKIP. It just makes you appear obsessed.

[ToraToraTora]

doesn't wind me up, as I have said many times I agree they are no longer necessary, their work is done, hopefully they will realise it and disband. I have been saying that since the glorious day in June 2016. I can only assume they hang around only to see it through. once we have brexited it would be a bit silly having a party called the UK INDEPENDENCE party when we would already be independent.

[mikey4444]

But it does wind you up Naomi, because you always come back with the same reply, although TTT beat you to it this time, with an all-time best score of 3 minutes.

I was listening to the News Quiz at lunchtime. Jeremy Hardy was saying that at least every time The Doctor regenerates, he has the decency to come back with a different head on.

But with UKIP its always the same head...Farages !

issues I talk about: the important news of the day.

Issues anyone else talks about: obsession.

[ummmm]

Why on earth would you want to wind people up?

[mikey4444]

TTT....you have indeed said that, and I give you credit for it, but I don't think anybody at LoonyTune HQ is listening.

[mikey4444]

jno....well said !

mikey; Asking Nigel Farage to re-join UKIP would be like asking Ronaldo to play for Swansea.

[Jackdaw33]

As far as I am aware Nigel has never left UKIP so he can hardly rejoin.

[mikey4444]

Khandro....I understand that Farage still represents South East England for UKIP in the European Parliament.

Not sure if he has resigned his Membership of the Party.

But to compare him to Ronaldo is stretching credibility a bit isn't it.

[mikey4444]

Farage is in the news again today :::

I just wish Farage would shut up and go away. The procession of deadheads that have "led" the party since his resignation accurately reflect the mental and social abilities of the party's supporters, unfortunately.

[Jackdaw33]

Whilst I am sympathetic towards UKIP I have to agree with the last comment.

[mikey4444]

WHUUUUUMP !

Jack, that was the sound of Mikey falling over backwards, in a feint !

[naomi24]

Mikey, I assure you it doesn't wind me up. Sorry to disappoint.

[Khandro]

mikey; There may arguably be better footballers than Ronaldo, but there are no more successful UK politicians than Farage, and if he stays out of party politics, he may disprove the theory that all political careers end in failure.

[Spicerack]

Wondered what that tremor was in Cardiff?

[Jackdaw33]

Did you mean 'faint'?
