jpinx Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 All part of the reasoning behind Brexit. It's bad enough trying to keep a handle on westminster politicians' noses in the trough, but watching out for sly moves in brussels is almost impossible.

Grouse Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Is there anyway that Farage can be kicked out for bringing the EU and/or the UK into disrepute? Such an awful individual.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why we need MEP's like Farage to look out for the sly moves in Brussels, but its a little difficult to do that if you only attend one out of 42 meetings of the fisheries committee to which you have been appointed. However lets get him into the UK Parliament I am sure that he will be as assiduous there in pursuit of the sly moves as he has been in Brussels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's just joshing, but what in practice could or would the EU do about it, bearing in mind that quite a few countries currently in the EU depend on us whether we are in or out, although I guess we will be rogue traders Isn't that what Juncker (my typing finger keeps wanting to change the 'r' at the end of his name to a 't' for some reason ) was getting at the other day?

Khun Han Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 So many inane comments about Farage from the forum's hardline remainers. What relevance is he to PM May's upcoming tough negotiations on brexit? Maybe we should get back to talking about that lying bully Osborne? He's just as relevant, isn't he?

How so I thought he was just a back bench MP, Farage is an MEP and constantly telling us how the Brexit negotiations should proceed. However I can understand your sensitivity to anything about the hardline Brexiter Farage and the way he has milked the EU for the past 20 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a lot of public/semi-public figures, from both sides of the argument, piping up with their unwanted opinions, who will play no part in PM May's tough talks on brexit.

Great! And exactly how was you comment about Osborne;s relevance any less inane? It appears that many hardline Brexiters don't like to hear the truth about Farage. Not least that he is profiting from the fall in sterling which he is partly responsible for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point about Osborne was to highlight the offtopic nature of the Farage posts. But I suppose, when the arguments are as threadbare as yours, attacking the public figures, particularly the peripheral ones, is an easy option.

It's difficult enough to wade through the dross in here and find anything illuminating and worthy of comment. The die is cast, UK's voters had their one chance to "speak" at the referendum and now they can sit back and watch the wheels turn. there's no point in asking the politicians what they'll do since, if all the politicians were laid end to end we'd have a lie that stretched around the world.

Yes of course it was and of course your arguments are not threadbare or in anyway extreme as you have so clearly shown with every post you make.
