I think that was down to Len Crank's rather strident views on homosexuality Hence his absence from this parish of late Meanwhile any update on your thought that " and cannot vote? Actually we can, even if some of my fellow Remainers are apparently forcedĀ to live in countries such as France, where they have the gall to impose taxes. And not just in this general election, but in the last EU referendum as well, and the next, if there is one, provided they left the UK not more than 15 years ago. " I do hope you are not getting yourself confused with another absentee, bagster - who similar had the same thought. So much so that he actually claimed to had voted in said referendum.

Bill 1,788 Posted November 1, 2019 I do hope the current stand off with the bigots does not lead to any nastiness, as with the Night of the Long Knives. The huge array of talent Farage has at his disposal in the way of candidates must worry poor Bertie, when coupled with his extraordinary ability to make an absolute ar se of himself by constantly getting somethng wrong. Swap the two leaders and the bigots could put up a good fight. Farage has the gift of making bullsht seem plausible whereas Bertie just makes anything plausible sound like bullsht. So expect to see much of Farage, whereas it will be the Tory candidates and not the hapless Bertie to the fore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just as Johnson spun the DUP a pile of shi te so Farage will is merely using the possibility of disrupting the Tories as leverage. In this case which of them is the true prophet of brexit.

We ? You mean the gormless halfwits who were conned and so rather than admit it, want some 'stab in the back' explanation as to why their level of stupidity was not matched by deliverence. So it is the system now. The very one that Farage has supported all his adult life and has only complained that voters did see him fit to be in Parliament that has now given him a convenient peg to hang gis bleats upon. It is not a system where elected memembers in the main serve their constituents, it is those elected who don't give a flying fck about the numpties who voted for him and someone does no work and doesn't turn up to meeting he is supposed to. Why has he sought to be elected as an MP if it is so flawed ? Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
