We've got our country back. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Grauniad: Quote Farage suggested one role he could potentially play for Trump was a Middle East peace negotiator. “I’m not suggesting that I can do everything, but I do think that I’m quite good at negotiating. I’m quite good at bringing people together,” he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted December 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2016 6 minutes ago, dont_do_it_doug. said: They're really not. Agreed. I think it's better, in general, to try to avoid the extent of cynicism where we write off everyone involved in public service as an abhorrent human being. Down that road is first voting for Trump, and then later giving up on the idea of democracy altogether. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since being hijacked by the leftie brigade labour are a truly horrible party full of racists. Yes ukip has its share of racists like every party does but they are painted much worse than they should be. They wanted us out of the EU, what's up with that? I'm actually fairly surprised at how ignorant this post is. What do you mean by "hijacked by the leftie brigade"? Labour has, traditionally, always been a leftist party. I thought that's why we all voted for them? Sure, they swerved dramatically to the centre for a while under Blair, but democratic socialism has always been the driving force behind the party and it's supporter base. "Full of racist"... Like who? Or anti-semites for that matter? Name and shame them. If you think people call racism on UKIP just because they wanted out of Europe, you must have had your head buried in the sand for at least a decade. FYI I think the Labour party is a bit of a mess right now, but if the alternative is UKIP, lord help us. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. It reads like an opinion peice you might find in the s*n. I say opinion peice, I mean on the front page. Personally, no issue with people voting for whoever they like. Labour, Tory, Libs, UKIP, BNP, Greens, whatever. As long as they can explain why without resorting to nonsense. A very good friend of mine, I'd consider him family, is a Trump advocate. I hate that about him, but his reasoning is watertight even if I can't help but feel that he should get back in the sea the dirty fascist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bickster Posted December 10, 2016 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2016 Paul Nutjob, ignorant racist the kind of ignorant racist who is quite dangerous because he thinks he's clever (he really isn't) When he got his first Euro Paycheck he bought a Land Rover, pimped up with blacked out windows and drove it round Bootle like he was a drug dealer Everyone thought, who is that rocket polisher. Now they know who that rocket polisher is Next time he gets in the cab I'm manufacturing a crash and promise to do a better job than that pilot did on Farage 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted December 10, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2016 I've never been a member of The Labour Party, but I know a hell of a lot of Labour voters, many of whom are members, some actually work for the party. I can honestly say that not a single one of them is remotely racist or anti-semitic - the very diametric opposite, in fact. I have encountered a lot of racists of various degrees of nastiness, and - to a man or woman - they have been Kippers or Tories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 I could vouch the same. I've never been a member of the Labour party but I have hung around a few of them and I've been fairly active in a union. I knew the previous Labour MP here and I know a few local Labour councillors. I've never known one of them be racist or anti semitic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you switched labour and Tory around in your post I could give the exact same anecdote the way I look at it people have their opinions it isn't dictated by where they put their X every 5 years . Growing up my mates were predominantly Labour voters , occasionally we'd get drunken Thatcher rants down the pub by one of them but by and large nobody really discussed politics ... fast forward 20 odd years and they all pretty much vote Tory now. As the Housemartins said....They pretend they're differing points of view ,but 'its only different shades of blue Edited December 10, 2016 by tonyh29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted December 10, 2016 Moderator Share Posted December 10, 2016 I just think most people aren't racist. Labours, tories, liberals, greens. Nearly all of them not racists. UKIPs quite a few racists, but still mostly not. Priests though.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) This man is apparently the voice of the working class. Quote Nigel Farage has said he is relieved to no longer be Ukip leader because it had meant “having to deal with low-grade people every day”, in an interview where he said his £85,000-a-year salary had left him “poor” compared with his City banker friends. “I am having a great time,” he said. “I am not having to deal with low-grade people every day. I am not responsible for what our branch secretary in Lower Slaughter said half-cut on Twitter last night – that isn’t my fault any more. I don’t have to go to eight-hour party executive meetings. Farage said his years as Ukip leader had meant he had sacrificed much of his earning potential. “I have no regrets about being poor,” he said of his MEP’s salary. “I don’t drive smart cars, I don’t go on fancy holidays. All my money has gone on my kids’ education." That's his £85,000 a year salary. Edited December 12, 2016 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
