lapal_fan Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I find it incredible just how much spin Farage an co can put on things like the milkshake stuff, saying it's "radicalised" people etc - when he's said he'd go get a rifle if Brexit isn't delivered. It's amazing how many likes and followers he has on social media and it's crazy how much people stick up for him. When he's challenged about his funding he just says "no one asks about the tories funding" - that's not the question put to him, just merely deflecting and people gobble it up. When he's challenged about being an "average bloke", despite being a city banker with millions of pounds, his followers just say "it's not the point!" What exactly do they stand to gain from voting for this cretin? Absolute poison. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's a result of decades of crap politicians and crap journalism doing nothing very much for people at the same time as the BBC and the newspapers have treated him like a superstar. In some ways you can't blame him, it's easy pickings. Imagine if the Green party were given the same publicity he's been given over the last 10 years. I've mentioned it before but just one example, 2 rallies here, one is the Brexit Party where 700 turn up, one is a remain rally where about 2 or 3 thousand turn up. The Brexit rally was put on the tv news. The Green Party membership here is doubling and doubling again, packed out meeting. Someone throws a milkshake at Farage, he's all over the news again. He has been made in to the news. 'They' decided really early on that he is the story. His party was receiving wall to wall coverage before it was even registered with the electoral commission. They've received 100,000 anonymous donations of at least £25 each via a paypal account. They claim to have raised a million pound 11 days after forming the company, Brexit Party Limited has no members, Farage alone selects the candidates. They were leafleting here a month ago. To date, theirs are the only leaflets we've received and the election is less than 48 hours away. I'd have to say, the message he's selling is a little more clear than Labour's or the tory's. I mean, in its own way, it is impressive. But don't worry, a year or two after this election on Thursday, we can have a bit of an investigation in to it. Never forget Cameron and May the last two tory Prime Ministers have brought us here with their promisess of strength and stability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh without a doubt. I think it's fairly well known that Dave Cameron (who I admit, I did like... for some reason) went to Brussels and said "hahaha, don't worry about Brexit, it'll never happen! hahaha". The vote was only put out, to get a bit of support for them, and to keep them in power for another 6 months to a year.. I think it's fairy safe to say, it's looked at some points like they are entirely unelectable, for a number of years - but then we know this country for some reason loves to shaft itself for no reason..

If he's so squeaky clean, man of the people, average joe, like he wants to appear, he wouldn't have any problem with transparency and this line of questions. But to just refuse to even answer what is a straight forward question, is very telling. This country needs transparency, and all we appear to be getting is smoke. It's pretty shameful, especially after the expenses scandal all those years ago (now). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted June 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 8, 2019 Quote Back in the mid-1980s, when English football was a wild, rust-caked, occasionally frightening place, a group of Leeds United supporters noticed that the National Front had gained a small but significant foothold around Elland Road. Football was seen as a fertile seeding ground for far-right politics. On matchdays the NF had begun to sell its magazine, Bulldog, outside the ground. They became a visible presence, gained a little traction, took a share of the day. Eventually there was a reaction. Rob Conlon wrote an excellent article about this on the website Planet Fútbol a couple of years ago, recalling the founding of the fanzine Marching Altogether, which staged its own counter-campaign.

Seat68 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I don't really care for football and even less so as a younger man. No really, I come here for off topic. Regardless, in the 80s I attended a Leeds match versus Shrewsbury Town at Elland Road. I was with a mate from Leeds but was and am a Shrews supporter but we were in the home end. Prior to going in I was completely alarmed at the number of NF or similar outside selling their literature without a raised eyebrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
