Says the man who has made a career out of exploiting xenophobia and sowing division.

He really is Trump's little puppet, isn't he? Maybe if he spent less time slagging of the UK on American junkets and more time working for his constituents in this country....

Nice work if you can get it. Doesn't explain that Clacton house purchase though

A reasonable definition of a fascist is someone who backs political violence

😂 I think the sentence in which I suggested a definition of a fascist is a bit longer than your cropped version!

Here is the full sentence 

A reasonable definition of a fascist is someone who backs political violence, supports a one-man dictatorship, the leading role of the military in government and law enforcement, and military courts for civilians.

When Nigel Farage abolishes elections, declares himself Fuhrer for life, uniformed Reform members start marching through the streets of our cities, and civilians are court martialed? No there won't be many people laughing.

Although I expect Farage to be laughing manically and uncontrollably.

I'm interested in that £280,500 for 4 hours work per month from Direct Bullion.

 

Is he being paid to deliver financial shocks and instability that tend to drive big money investors towards gold?

 

There's been a bit in the news about this lately - what with Trump slapping (and changing) tariffs left, right and centre.

If (when?) Farage becomes PM there will be a tonne of stuff dredged up from his past and present financial dealings but his voters won't even care. 

Given his comments on benefits etc, I do wonder how many of his supporters that have mobility scooters/ motability cars or are really dependant upon the NHS, really know what they are voting for. Well, apart from stopping brown people coming here.

Not many of them as all they care about is too many immigrants, which is clearly why Farage seems to be doing so well as he fully knows that.  Once they have voted him in they are in for a big surprise, and a surprise they could have avoided if they spent 5 minutes looking into what Farage stands for.

There's a couple of high profile MAGA nuts coming out with stuff saying Trump has gone too far and this wasn't what they voted. They could have spent those 5 minutes checking first.

Like Brexit

They were warned and warned and their comeback was 'project fear' 

Once it became noticeable to even the diehards that this was affecting them financially, the new cry was  "This isn't the brexit we voted for"

Ironically, the papers like the mail and express comments section at the time were full of leavers shouting they wanted a super hard brexit, far more extreme than Boris agreed to.

 

Clearly Fauxrage isnt a fool, and knows we need immigration and the problems leaving the ECHR would lead to even more barriers to trade

Or worse as pointed out that EU could even ban the UK from using its airspace, if the UK tried to deport people by air to 'questionable' regimes, as that would stand against their own principles concerning human rights.

So getting to the Spanish resorts that they prefer might become a tad difficult.

London to Benidorm takes about a day and a half by bus.

Nigel Farage has been banned from his local pub because the landlord wasn't impressed with his driving skills, plus the fact that he's a ****.

Which seems a tad harsh but otherwise very fair.

 

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/nigel-farage-car-crash-banned-pub-landlord-kent-brexit-party-a8909856.html

And yes Nigel Farage was driving a Range Rover when it was involved in the crash.

But that's not the point. It was Farage's Ranch Rover and Farage is still a ****. Banning him from his pub seems totally appropriate to me.

And look how Farage crashed a plane because a campaign banner it was towing became entangled in the tail fin. The geezer is a proper weapons grade ****.

Plus he looked totally pissed when he staggered out of that plane, have you seen the photos of his face after the crash? He looks completely out of it, either drugs or alcohol I reckon.

Again Farage didn't crash the plane the pilot did. And maybe you'd look a little out of it with according to the AI skim thing on my browser

fractured vertebrae, broken ribs, a fractured sternum, a punctured lung, and a chip to his spine.He was pulled from the wreckage upside down and unconscious, with blood on his face.The pilot, Justin Adams, also sustained significant injuries and was taken to a different hospital.

Come on Ernie, when I see you made the last post there's usually something interesting to read, don't let your standards slip.

Fair point I had indeed forgotten about the pilot. So yeah, a very nasty accident, I'm glad the pilot survived, he could easily have been killed.

The photos of Farage after the crash sitting upside and then staggering around afterwards  always make me chuckle no matter how many times I see them. It reminds of the clip of the far-right "protester" who got multiple bricks in the chest, back of the head, and bollocks, in quick succession, no matter how many times I watch it I still chuckle.

And just to prove how much of a **** Farage really is he lit a fag straight after the crash whilst he was surrounded by leaking aircraft fuel. 

Plus the muppet didn't even win the parliamentary election that the publicity stunt was for. ****.

What shit  is made up? He crashed the plane by getting it to tow a banner, are you going to suggest that he wasn't responsible because he wasn't the pilot? The investigation didn't find pilot error as far as I'm aware. 

Are we going to say that Farage wasn't responsible for Brexit because he only had one vote?

The towing the banner was his ****up and he should own it.

The airplane belonged to a company called Sky Banners Ltd. Take a wild guess what they did for a living.

Posted by: ernielynch

Of course he wasn't responsible for the crash. The banner got caught in the tail-plane, and the pilot tried to release it, when the controls snatched away from him. He regained some control - although not enough to prevent the plane from crashing. The firm was criticised for having incomplete safety procedures if the banner got tangled. I imagine Farage's input into the whole thing was probs a stream of Anglo-Saxon. You can blame Farage for many things, but not really for crashing a plane he'd hired to do the thing they advertised they could do,  and wasn't in control of at the time.

Edit: it was a Polish made plane, at least karma had a laugh

The crash was deemed an accident. It's not as if towing banners is an unusual activity, several a day used to fly over me when I worked in Royan. It's a service provided by pilots to make money. However the pilot's (death) threats to the crash investigators and Farrage landed him in court and he was found guilty. He later committed suicide.

I have no love of or sympathy for Farrage but prefer to stick to the real damge he is responsible for rather than try to blame him for something investigators said he wasn't responsible for.

As a Brexit fan you should be grateful to Farrage for giving you what you wished for, Ernie. 😉 I'm against just about everything he stands for but still won't victim blame - Farrage paid a professional to do a job and ended up an accident victim.

Well of course it was, no has suggested that it was deliberate! The reality however is that Nigel Farage would not have ended up upside down in a plane wreckage if he hadn't thought that the publicity stunt was a great idea for his failed election campaign.

Btw I'm lovin the long-winded responses because I point out that Farage is a **** and I revel at his misfortunes, and from dyed-in-the-wool remainers no less.

Farage might have been a bit shook up from his unfortunate experience he had but it caused him no lasting damage.

There are some on here who argue (unconvincingly imho) that Nigel Farage is the most influential UK politician of recent times and solely responsible for Brexit. If we take this to be true then it would be reasonable to assume had the consequences of the accident been more serious the UK would today be a fully integrated member of the EU.

So as someone who sees the EU as a racist and deeply anti-democratic project perhaps I should be very grateful that the accident wasn't more serious and I should thank that the man who opposes the EU for completely opposite reasons to me, ie it isn't racist and anti-democratic enough for him, managed to survive unscathed.

Although with the rise of the far-right throughout the EU, including in governments, poor 'ol Nigel is probably regretting that he can't be centre stage and planning EU strategy with other far-right politicians and governments when he becomes UK Prime Minister in less 4 years time. What a ****.

...poor 'ol Nigel is probably regretting

All that poor 'ol Nige ever regrets is how nasty journalists shine a light on his capacity to make money from politics as the active director of four companies:
REFORM UK PARTY LIMITED (16260766)
FARAGE MEDIA LIMITED (13066592)
REFORM 2025 LTD (11694875)
THORN IN THE SIDE LIMITED (07650770)

and has resigned as the director of four others, including UKIP Ltd. (all data from Companies House)

It’s been revealed that self-proclaimed man of the people, Nigel Farage, who is the UK’s highest-earning MP, now has nine jobs, meaning that he earns more than any other MP from outside earnings. https://leftfootforward.org/2025/01/a-full-list-of-nigel-farages-9-jobs-and-how-much-he-earns-from-each-one/

The Reform UK leader channels earnings from his prime-time TV show into his company, allowing him to pay only 25% corporation tax on profits, rather than the 40% income tax, and to offset certain expenses.

Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency, but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, which legally allowed him to avoid higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home, given that he already owns other properties.
https://pressway.org.uk/news/301375-farage_criticices_tax_cheats_as_his_company_pays_25_tax

I wonder how many people his companies employ?

If we take this to be true then it would be reasonable to assume had the consequences of the accident been more serious the UK would today be a fully integrated member of the EU.

Given the referendum vote fell just the wrong side of 50/50, I think that's not an unreasonable assumption.

So as someone who sees the EU as a racist and deeply anti-democratic project

This is one of the things you seem to have convinced yourself is true but doesn't stand up any better to fact checking than the anti-EU nonsense from your other fellow Brexiteer Boris Johnson.

On a personal level I've been able to vote in EU elections but was unable to vote in the Brexit referendum despite being British just because of where I lived. You're still elegible to vote in both French and European elections, Ernie, I hope you support the European democratic process by voting.

https://mobile.interieur.gouv.fr/Archives/Archives-elections/Comment-voter/Le-vote-des-Francais-a-l-etranger

As for racist/xenophobic, the EU has a definition that covers just about every aspect imaginable, and requires criminalisation of racism in member states. Not entirely surprising the racists wanted Brexit so they were no longer constrained by EU anti-racist laws. Actually implementing those laws requires both a parliment vote (which there already has been against Hungary) then sanctions approved by the the council/commission. But don't hold your breath on that while there's a war going on.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/oct/19/support-for-reform-uk-surges-nigel-farage-among-british-indians

Research by the 1928 Institute, a group of Oxford academics who analyse the British Indian community, shows backing for Reform has jumped in the past year from 4% to 13%.

Well that is going to complicate matters for people who take the simplistic view that growing support for Reform UK is all down to racism.

It's as if you think racism were an anglo-saxon monopoly, Ernie. In Leicester schools the friction I saw was mainly Hindu - Muslim with a bit of Afro-Carribean. Hindus supporting a racist anti-Muslin party makes a strange kind of sense. That Guardian article misses a factor that's clear in these:

If you look at the results of the poll it makes it clear that the huge surge in support for Reform in the last year is connected to disappointment with Labour in  addressing the changed priorities of the UK Indian communities.

Disappointment with the current Labour government is what has driven voters into the arms of Reform in the last year, not racism, plus a complete lack of credibility in the Tory Party.

That Guardian article misses a factor that's clear in these

And you have missed the fact that Zia Yusuf, an observant Muslim only resigned from Reform for two days before Farage was successful in getting him to change his mind and gave him a leading role again.

Most people stating Reform as preference will never have heard of Yusuf. Also, just as Trump and the USA owners of Social Media are playing their part in bringing more of the wider UK population towards the far right, so Modi and alternative media sources have had an effect on some people who look towards India. I wouldn’t discount the importance of racism and othering when looking at these influences.

I couldn't possibly have missed Yusuf, Ernie, you have already lauded him so I Googled. having read a bit I decided he's the kind of person who puts personal gain and prestige over morality and integrity. I have no wish to meet him and certainly won't vote for him. He's another Mick Lynch type figure, toxic for the people he claims to represent.
