I think you might be right there Cashy...the skulduggery of these two knows no bounds.
Heck they even rewarded the reaminers with gongs in the Queen's 90th birthday honours list.......makes it all very tawdry.

Appearances can be deceptive, you may think the man a buffoon, but I'm pretty sure behind the façade there's a pretty savvy operator lurking in the shadows. Keep a close eye on the guy & see what happens.

Just my ruminations mind.

I haven't ever done that so I can't give any advice.
I have just googled the name and the EU and come up with nothing of any interest.

INTERESTING FROM NIGEL FARAGE


Whether you are Remain or Brexit this is a great speech.







You must read this


Irrespective of whether you like the man or not this is brilliant.

Why are those in power worried about this man and his party...?


Absolutely Brilliant one of the best e-mails in ages!
Nigel Farage UKIP


Nigel Farage for Prime Minister.


This is what he said:


"I am the Tory Party's Worst Nightmare.
I am a White, Tax-Paying, God fearing English man.
I am a hard working Brit and I work long hours to earn a living.


I believe in God and the freedom of religion,
But I don't push it on others.


I believe in British products
And buy them whenever I can.


I believe the money I make belongs to me
And not to some governmental functionary,
To share with others who don't work!


I think owning a home doesn't make you a capitalist;
It makes you a smart Brit.


I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized,
And does not entitle you to anything.
Get over it.
Join in with the majority!


I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac,
You should do it in English.
I believe there should be no other language option.


I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God
When and where they want to.


My heroes are fellow Brits like Freddy Flintoff
And Winston Churchill
And I know I've missed a few thousand!!!!!


I don't hate the rich.
What I hate is the way they always manage to avoid paying proper
taxes.
I don't pity the poor,
I just hate the way they are always moaning that they are hard done
by!!


I know wrestling is fake
And I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.


I believe if you don't like the way things are here,
Go back to where you came from
And change your own country!


This is ENGLAND .....
We like it the way it is and even more so the way it was
So stop trying to change it to look like some other socialist country!


If you were born or legally migrated here
And don't like it... You are free to move
To any Socialist country that will have you.
I believe it is time to really clean house,
Starting with the House of Commons,
The seat of our biggest problems.


I want to know where the "Do Gooders" get their money from,
And why are they always part of the problem and not the solution?
Can I get an AMEN on that one?


I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're
breaking the law,
Regardless of what race, colour or creed you are.
And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driving licence.
I think it's good....


I dislike those people trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to
their cause.
Get a job and support yourself and your family!


I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think!


I believe the Union Jack flag should be allowed to be flown
Anywhere in the United Kingdom !


If this makes me a BAD Brit,
Then yes, I'm a BAD Brit.
If you are a BAD Brit too,
Please forward this to everyone you know....


We want our country back! My Country.....


I hope this offends all illegal aliens.


My great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Boer
War.
My grandfather watched and bled as his friends died in World Wars 1&2.
I watched as my friends died in Sierra Leone Bosnia, & Desert Storm.
Our sons and daughters watched & bled as their friends
Died in Afghanistan and Iraq .
None of them died for the Afghanistan and Iraq Flag.
Every Briton died for the British flag.


At one high school,
Foreign students raised a Middle East flag on a school flag pole.
British students took it down.
Guess who was expelled.
The students who took it down .


West London high school students were sent home,
Because they wore T-shirts with the Union Jack flag printed on them.


What is going on??
What idiots do we have in authority??
Enough is enough.


This message needs to be viewed by every Brit;
And every Briton needs to stand up for Britain .
We've bent over to appease the Brit-haters long enough.
I'm taking a stand.


I'm standing up because of the millions
Who died fighting in wars for this country,
And for the British flag.


And shame on anyone who tries to
Make this a racist message.
IT IS NOT !


Britons, stop giving away Your RIGHTS !


THIS IS OUR COUNTRY !


This statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration !


YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY,
Welcome to come legally:


1. Get a sponsor !
2. Learn the LANGUAGE, as immigrants have in the past!
3. Live by OUR rules ! Dress as we Britons Do
4. Get a job !
5. Pay YOUR Taxes !
6. No Social Security until you have earned it and paid for it !
7. Find a place to lay your head !


If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone,
then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM !


We've gone so far the other way.
bent over backwards not to offend anyone.


WAKE UP BRITAIN ! ! !


If you do not Pass this on, may your fingers cramp !


Made in BRITAIN & DAMN PROUD OF IT!!!!!"


AMEN"


Nigel Farage
UKIP

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

Of course, I cannot be certain that these words are indeed from the mouth of Mr Farage, and I do not claim to support everything he may say, but, whether his words or not, I feel the sentiments are worthy of the widest audience possible.
Surely, agreeing does not make us 'racist'?

There is no guarantee that BJ will be elected as PM after DC resigns, or is pushed.

Thank you for that. It says everything I have been saying on here and out in the big wide world for a damn long time.
I am not sure it comes from Nigel Farage....though he may have used it.
I have a strong feeling that I saw this in Oz a good decade ago.....but it is relevant and bears repeating for those who have not seen it.

I would hate the rest of the world to think that we Brits can be bowed down by the dictators in Brussels......I would hate them to think that we are lily livered conformists because we do not dare to assert our sovereignty and individuality.

I have seen nor heard any argument, or discussion which makes me want to be any part of the EU.

Thanks, Barrie,

I know I got there in the end, wasn't quite sure how!
If I had bothered going on to PC, instead of this damned phone, might have got ther quicker!
Cheers

Hi Margaret,

Got to say, on first reading this, I thought it needed sharing.

However, on re-reading for 5th time, I began to doubt the authenticity, however, the sentiments still ring true.. you may be right in thinking you have heard it before... substitute 'Britain' or 'England' for any other country under threat of losing its core values, and you could be talking about almost any country in the 'civilised' world!(Oz included!)

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

There are certain phrases in the passage which are not particularly English.....they could be American or they could be Australian.....a bit like Barack Obama saying that Britain would 'go to the back of the line' for trade if we left the EU.
We would be much more likely to say back of the queue.
We do not much use the word 'cops'....and to get into Oz you have to have money, a job or a sponsor.

That said, it doesn't matter where it comes from, or whether it was 'borrowed'....It is relevant to the current situation.

Now the latest 'breaking' news is that Goerge Osborne is planning a 'punishment' budget if we vote leave. He reckons that taxes must go up, benefits must come down and spending needs to be cut to fill the black hole that will need filling if we leave the EU.
I have news for him......there will be the vast sums that we no longer commit to the EU coffers......and if there is still a shortfall, then let him cancel the ridiculously expensive HS2 project......and maybe cut the expenses of those in the House of Lords.
Maybe MP's could also take a pay cut too. That way, we really will 'all be in it together'

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

Osborne will have to go suck eggs,57 of his MPs will not allow his budget through, says on the news,I have always been of the mind this vote will never be won by the "Leavers", now i aint so sure, all that camp have done is try to frighten people NOT convince, All labour have done is ignore its voters, that to me is a toxic mix, the Brits will only take so much in my view.
