Since you skipped the bit about content rather than poster I'll offer the board two more. Can I suggest posters refrain from commenting until after they've heard the second one

 

 

Non platforming (by MSM which is the crux of his complaint) isn't going to work much longer.

Can you get this ‘Ardent Constitutionalist’ to sign up to TVF and tell us what he thinks about the subject under discussion (Raab’s proposal, repeated by McVey, to suspend Parliament in order to force through a no-Deal Brexit)?

I really would like to hear what an Ardent Constitutionalist who supports Brexit has to say on the matter.

After which we might get him to give his views on the use of a Plebiscite to override Parliamentary democracy.

There is no ‘Ardent Constitutionalist’ argument to suspend Parliament nor to run the nation my plebiscite.

If you are going to troll TVF with The Brexit Party twitter feed, do at least read the responses in the feed first.

‘1537 people are talking about this’

Not in complimentary terms.

You'll not have a seat with a view of any sweating in Brussels, but you could make do with expats sweating at the ATM when the money markets respond.

"They came second with just over 9800 votes."...…….I agree

 

Why not rewrite this as...……..

" For a Party that was only 8 weeks old they got massive support  and lost by only 683 votes"......do you disagree with that, if so why?

Let's put a lie to bed. The Brexit party was not only 8 weeks old at the time of the Peterborough election.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brexit_Party

Farage did well, but despite being the undisputed 'face of Brexit', despite the full support of the UK's most popular (by a country mile) newspapers, The Daily Mail, The Sun, and The Daily Express, and despite wide coverage on all UK TV channels, local and national radio and frontline participation in TV political programs he didn't do well enough. 

43,000 people in the Peterborough constituency who voted Leave at the Referendum failed to turn up and vote for the Brexit party. 

Brexit, the most politically loaded question of the moment, a widely publicised by-election, there is zero chance that these 43,000 people were unaware of the by-election, unaware of what was at stake, unaware that the Brexit party was standing in the by-election or unaware what single issue the Brexit party was standing for.

You need to get your reading skills up to speed. Nigel didn't say "Peterborough was a more delectable prize" the Guardian did.....a newspaper of your political persuasion, by all accounts.

Well look at what you just tried to get away with:

The Guardian also said 

"Peterborough was a more delectable prize for Nigel Farage than any of the European parliament seats his Brexit party won last month."

 

Doesn't really sit well with what either of you said does it?

 

You post a quote from a news article and then object to me responding to the quotation you posted.

Away with you and your bait and switch nonsense.

Yup, the US is just itching for ‘a quick deal’.

If they can get it signed and delivered before the electorate read the small print, we’ll that would be just swell.

Regardless of how ‘delectable’ Farage thought it was, Peterborough was ‘a prize’ the Farage cult party failed to win.

For Farage and the Brexit Party, the delectable was unelectable.

That looks more like a newspaper opinion than a Nigel quote. Link please?

 

I found this   "Whichever way you cut it, we’ve come from nowhere ... we’re pretty buoyed by this."

“We came into Peterborough with zero data, up against the Labour party who have been working this seat mercilessly for months because they knew their former MP was going to be removed.

“Whichever way you cut it, we’ve come from nowhere, produced a massive result, we haven’t quite got over the line, but we’re pretty buoyed by this.”

Which is why Farage hid and slipped out the backdoor when The Brexit Party failed to win.

Perhaps you could help us find a solution to the problems regarding rule breakers in the EU. An honourable solution of course since you are so keen on it.

Kind of lends the lie to the claim the UK is ‘controlled and shackled’ by the EU.

So thanks for your contribution.

I don't have a problem with paying the debt whatever the cost provided there is an international firm of accountants (perhaps Swiss) to go through the amount line by line to ensure thaty we are paying the correct amount and the bill is itemised.

 

Also that an international firm of auditors (Swiss again?) audit the EU accounts.

Let’s give them a test run on where Aaron Banks got the £8million he donated to Brexit Leave campaign.

Have you considered this is simply Boris learning from Trump, picking an emotive issue and promising a simplistic solution that he has absolutely no intention to go through with.

Boris is winding up the Tory party membership, with something they think they can understand as a means to get their support for the post of PM.

After and only after which we'll all learn what Boris has in mind. (Generally something very pro-Boris).

I am sure we both agree that this was a disgusting homophobic attack on 2 women, and hope the youths that did it will face some real punishment.  I am also disgusted with many poster on here with their less then hidden anti gay agenda... and even blaming the victims!  

 

 

On that I agree entirely and thank you for joining your voice against the ignorance and worse displayed by some in this thread.

?  You did ask a question about which religions did not have an appalling record of violence and hatred against homosexuals right?  I just gave you an answer.      

You did and it was deliciously naive.

I especially like the references to ancient religions for which we have no documented evidence and the inclusion of the philosophy of Epicurus as a religion.
