Did Nigel Retire Too Soon?

[Old_Geezer]

Possibly. But it ought not be all on his shoulders. One might hope others were competent enough to take over, but perhaps not.

[vetuste_ennemi]

No, you can't take a one issue party and turn it into an effective political force in a first past the post system. The Farage legacy is the referendum.

It is the moral duty of Government and Parliament to ensure we leave the EU.

Just confirms really that hard brexiters, on the far left and on the far right are exactly the same.

Farage has been successful in doing away with his own employment, so is desperately scrambling for another gravy train to hop on to.

Galloway and Farage have both led parties that have been spectacular unsuccessfulat getting anyone to vote them, and both had one MP.

But thanks for the YouTube clip, good value to laugh at two numpties for the price of one.

[vetuste_ennemi]

There is a moral dimension as well as a parliamentary/democratic /blah, blah, blah to Brexit.

Don't get that do you, Gr(omit)?

[vetuste_ennemi]

I do, of course, recognise that there are unusual intellectual and moral specialities required to be an AB moderator.

^ Touched a nerve there.

Brexit will be delivered, but UKIP are still not happy. It seems to be sinking in that the post brexit utopia they imagined was a fantasy, and there will still be lots of immigration, and we will still have to cooperate with France and Germany if we want to trade with them.

It is unclear what UKIP now want. They are the United Kindgom Independence Party, and the UK will be independent, and yet they still seem unfulfilled and lost.

I realise NF was the poster boy of the UK alt right, but bringing him back smacks of nostalgia. There is no support, and nothing for him to do.

For anyone who can’t be bothered to watch eight minutes of drivel, here’s that drivel in black and white.

The truly dreadful George Galloway interviewing an MEP who 'suggested' Nigel Farage could return to help fight for the result of the referendum.

The reality remains to be seen.

Thanks Naomi I was about to ask for a non video reference.
I regard Farage and Galloway as cut from the same cloth ...

[naomi24]

I disagree about Galloway and Farage being cut from the same cloth, but you're welcome to the link. 8 minutes of that is too much to expect anyone to endure.

[ichkeria]

Much as I disagree with Farage I will say this about him: he can laugh at himself. Which is a very endearing quality. I’m not sure the same can be said for gorgeous George. The link doesn’t work for me: ISP blocking the Express?!

[naomi24]

Don't know. It works for me.

Gorgeous George

odd echo... when GG went to New York and challenged them for the evidence - for something - that he was a palestinian spy I think

and no one in New York would transcribe the interview !

In the end the chairman of Stenographers United of NY got out his pencil and pad and transcribed it himself - making trenchant comments about censorship of unpalatable views

anyway
Farage - why does he need political resurrection ?
hasnt he done enough damage to the long term interests of his country already ?

[Khandro]

//hasnt he done enough damage to the long term interests of his country already ?//
That, dear boy, depends on your point of view.

[ichkeria]

Ah of course it’s David Coburn who looks like the late Graham Taylor on steroids.
So Galloway interviews Coburn : well it will keep some amused :-)
Farage I feel was to Brexit what garlic is to cooking: you need a little to kick it off but too much will kill it

UKIP is far from being a one issue party; here is a summary of their objectives ;
