At least, NF will bring a bit of colour to the election proceedings - being different, articulate and willing to take the media on, headfirst.

Pals with Trump (next US President), and highly experienced in the political and media arenas. His role could be pivotal to the result.

The media hates both men. If they both win there will be a Special Relationship which has not happened since Blair and Bush. Their plan was only to destroy the Middle East and get their oil.

A Special Relationship between POTUS and the MP for Clacton-on-Sea!!

I think Farage's appeal is too narrow. Certainly compared to Trump, who somehow seems to convince half of the US he is "their kind of leader".

This is one reason I have no plans to visit the US any time soon; half of them must be barking mad and they keep shooting lots of people...

You know they both good friends Barney!

Magnificent performance on TV tonight by Farage.

Well briefed, articulate and good humoured.


Spouting figures and statistics that the other party members didn't seem to know about.



Much like comparing Rishi to Cronkite!

It was fun watching it at my local. I love that Farage admitted that the Tories are done and finished with right at the end.

He had some bollocks to admit that stop and search needs to be done. Getting an officer to come out for a burglary is impossible, most of the communication is done over the phone.

I think it was the Greens or Labour who said having a community police officer who knows the area and people. However, communuity police officers like Dixon of Dock Green were known to take bribes from the locals or the local businesses.

Another thing Farage was spot on about is the booming population, it's nothing to do with an ageing population, most old people have lived in the same house for decades. There are thousands coming over illegally which the media and MPs don't want to talk about.

In Wiltshire and Hampshire, fields and meadows are now housing estates. Yet, we are told about net zero and protecting the green belt. The government are destroying and have destroyed the green belt to meet the housing demand. In come cases they have built on flood plains.

RSPB in which I was remember of for donkey years, have lost my donations for good. Someone from the charity failed to listen that we can't just build.

So now new estates will a have a little reserve shared with giant housing estates. They probably took a backhander from the councils to keep quiet.

The so-called reserves are not adequate for foxes or badgers. People who take on this houses will have to deal with pests/rodents. Yet MPs want to talk about rewilding, you can't rewild when fields or meadows are being turned in to concrete jungles.

Remember also in the 2000s, young teens were getting up the duff to get council houses and flats, those babies are now adults, the those young teens from the 2000s are now young grandparents.

The Tories and Labour have both created a shit storm and genie is well and truly out off the bottle.

Neither party will never admit they lost control with immigration, roads, houses and hospitals.

How comes Raynor can't speak properly? It seems to be a trait in the Labour Party. They either talk slow, have lips, stutter, shout or mumble or in some cases have broken English.

Imagine Raynor on a world's stage giving a speech at the UN or something.

For a chap who doesn't vote, GM - you have a thorough and impressive insight into politics, and the major players involved. Why not make your views known at the ballot box?

"Do I want to be an MP? Do I want to spend every Friday for the next five years in Clacton?"

Apparently said by Farage in February to The Times, as reported by multiple media outlets (Mirror, Guardian, Independent, Daily Mail, GB News, etc.). Screenshot from Times article posted by Mirror journalist: x.com/LizzyBuchan/status/1797652565213224997

Can't believe anyone takes him seriously. He's a self-promoting empty blowhard. Clacton is clearly an ego trip and if the people there vote him in, I'd be very surprised if they find that he represents their interests and gets things done in the town for their benefit.

No doubt my vote will be lost or destroyed, like they did in the past.

I had a gardener round do my some odd jobs. He has a nice a farm and acres and acres of land. He sold it all off to the council so they can build next year or. It was heartbreaken to hear. local government need to stop bribing farmers and landowners. They wanted unlimited people and they got them.

If the government stop giving away our money for vanity projects, to their mates and PPE contracts. They could of built more hospitals, probably for almost every town across the land.

The unemployed are a burden to the government however I don't read about anything to train in to employment...yet they want immigrants for cheap labour.

Name me on person in politics who is in it for the people and not for themselves. It's showbiz for ugly people. At least Farage can speak clearly without a lips or stutter or speaking through teeth.

GB News is WEF.


Daily Mail is pretty funded by Tories and it's what keeps it afloat along with click bait.

A former business partner sued The Guardian and it was settled out of court but yes he won.

The Mirror is funded by Labour and other socialists.

I have only met Farage once in a pub in London, he was still a commodities broker at the time. He was intriqued by my accent. He could hear Canadian and Lawwwan Island with added Irish. He was, pretty much bang on. Now my accent is now Irish and West Country.

He has a very dry sense of humour and he is good with irony. I like to know what bloke does not tell a corny Dad joke. I have probably heard them all!

A lot of people don't get is irony or sarcasm. No, I am not including those who are on the austic spectrum.

It does seem to be a lot in the media are on the spectrum, hence why jokes are offsensive or the jokes fly over them.

Taking a job in a town you don't like has been a topic and joke that has been bought many times up behind the bar.
For example Jo, there was a regular called Clive in my old boozer which I had. He was in insurance.
When he got a job in the company, he had to move to move from Ireland to Merthyr Tydfil in Wales.

He said "OI, chara's. I have been promoted at work. It means I have to move...to fucking Merthyr Tydfil. How the fuck am I going to survive there? I will need to be tooled up....Anyone got the number for Sinn fucking Fein, I will probably be slaughtered, before my retirement?"

He had everyone in laugher, even an old Welsh couple were cracking up with fits of laughter. They were on holiday in Ireland.

If Clive was a public figure and the media caught him. He of would of been called all sorts of things in the press and TV.

Merthyr Tydfil does a reputation for violence and a being a cesspit. As far as I know he still there and happily retired.

As much I hated working in pubs and clubs even though I was the boss or manager. I did have some great laughs and met a lot of celebrities.

It's the Trump thing isn't it Jo and while it is easy to agree that our politicians are glib and facile, it is hard for anyone with half a brain cell to understand why someome would think such self-interested clowns are an answer.

I can only assume that people don't give a shit about their countries and just vote these tossers in for entertainment; like voting on BGT, or something...

What has Biden done?

Green Man you said - "Name me on person in politics who is in it for the people and not for themselves."

I think Richard Holden is the ultimate for this. Watch and weep such men get away with this. It blows my mind away that someone could behave like this in front of a camera with no shame at all to a veteran respected journalist who was reporting politics before this arrogant fool was even born. I hope Farage manages to rid the country of Tories like this.

I wasn't making a comparative point about the effectiveness of the two candidates GM, but about the mindset of people who can vote for someone as nakedly unfit for office as Donald Trump.

I'm not so convinced about "nakedly unfit for office" WYOT. Nakedly unfit to be a human being, perhaps, but as we saw no better or worse than most other Presidents who really cannot and do not do much apart from sign meaningless documents. Like Prime Ministers here. Eunuchs.

I agree JK.

Wyot, has TDS.

Reform won't even be the opposition. The UK is going to be a Third World after the election. However, Farage and Tice will have their "I've told you so" moments. Which will happen and they will be bang on the money when that does happen. Even I have told you things on this site that ended up being true...but I was shut down.

Richard Holden, is why the public can't be bothered to vote. He is one of many on both sides of the political spectrum.

Well yes the leaders do have next to no real power so perhaps those millions of voters in the US are right to vote purely on an "entertainment" basis!

Bring back Boris then; Sunak and Starmer are very dull...
