sidcow Posted September 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Once again "they were taking us for a ride". In what way? It's all just populist empty words. What does he actually mean by that? Then Farage takes over with his usual trotted out bullshit. Ohh there were people with jobs there? Well how many people have we had to employ to do jobs that were already done? Barely a day goes by without hearing about new department for this and that needing to be created to replicate the processes which were performed by EU departments. Except instead of 27 countries funding those departments, there is just us. Ohh, they were all just enjoying a privileged, easy life? Well I'm sure our newly employed highly paid diplomats travelling around the world trying to recreate trade deals we already had (with more power to our negotiations) are all living in Premier Inns and declining all entertainment on offer instead staying in their hotel rooms to save on taxi bills. I assume people we are paying for 100% are OK to squander money instead of someone were funding 1/27th of.

HanoiVillan Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Literally the only thing I know about Christopher Biggins is that he was sometimes the butt of those jokes at the start of 'Sound Charades' on 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue'. I can't imagine why his opinion on Brexit is one worth sharing, maybe they suspect the audience are old enough for him to be a meaningful figure?

I would suggest the more you know about Christopher Biggins the less you would think he would be a meaningful figure to ask opinions of on virtually anything serious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 A shame Quote A North East venue has been forced to cancel an event set to feature former UKIP and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage due to threats made on social media. The controversial politician and broadcaster was due to appear at The Point in Sunderlandfor an event entitled "An Evening with Nigel Farage" on Friday, September 3. The event would have featured a talk from Mr Farage as well as an open Q&A with the crowd. However, the venue has made the decision to cancel the show following a number of complaints from the public - despite the fact there had been significant interest in tickets. The Point's operations director, Andrew Golding, said: "We decided after receiving complaints from the public and threatening behaviour via social media the event was best to be cancelled.

Xela Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 We all know Biggins' best work was the Iceland advert with VT favourite Katona. Seeing those pair (snigger) discuss the king prawn ring (chortle) will always be a TV highlight for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) We all need to sacrifice a bit to share the pain of the thing we were told was going to be an improvement.

a m ole Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 How about any business that made record profits from the pandemic and Brexit, Amazon and Nigel Farage’s investment portfolio for example, pay a small percentage on that profit? Nah just **** the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
