Actually hilarious to see the Reform lot now going after Count Binface.

Imagine thinking you're a serious political force and being scared of a man with a bin on his head

Absolutely mental

26 year old arrested, white male, which they have to say now to prevent Yaxley-Lennon's crowd starting riots

I didn't like her social conservatism at all, nor her desire to impose her views on everyone else, but I always admired that she was utterly, unremittingly, unapologetically her, with zero fucks given

Clearly a controversial figure with her views, but the amount of heartfelt tributes from left wing politicians about how they disagreed with her on nearly everything, but said what a nice caring woman she was speaks volume.

She was very anti LGB but Ian Dale, a gay LBC journalist, has put out some very heartfelt posts defending her against a fellow journalist using her death to slag her off.

This is the Parliamentary standards commissioner who will decide whether Farage has broken the rules.

It is a person, not a committee, and he has nothing to do with Labour. He was appointed, I think, under Boris Johnson

https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/standards-and-financial-interests/parliamentary-commissioner-for-standards/parliamentary-commissioner-for-standards/meet-the-commissioner/

This is not America

Farage is claiming to be a man of the people, yet is taking £5m from a crypto guy that was investigated (the "gift") for money laundering

He is claiming it is people Vs establishment.

I don't see getting £5m off a mate being very "people". What could be more establishment than that?

Rich does not equal establishment . Do you remember the expenses affairs, the Labour freebies at the beginning of this parliament , the illegal attempt to stop elections. All the major parties were calling for a by election but it’s just not the right moment. So he called their bluff and now they disrespect democracy

And finally if you think the very banking system we have and you participate in is utterly free of dirty money you’d be very sadly mistaken

I don’t give 2 craps where he got his money from or how much it is. Good for him. Did the money come from a uk bank?

the illegal attempt to stop elections. All the major parties were calling for a by election but it’s just not the right moment. So he called their bluff and now they disrespect democracy

How is it disrespecting democracy to use your democratic right to decide whether you want to stand for election or not? That is bizarre

He has called this by election for purely propaganda reasons, to wriggle out of the consequences of something he is 100% guilty of by invoking more rage and victimhood

And finally if you think the very banking system we have and you participate in is utterly free of dirty money you’d be very sadly mistaken

That is utterly irrelevant

Banks are not elected servants or representatives in parliament

I don’t give 2 craps where he got his money

You absolutely, 100% should, given that there is suggestion that some of it comes from the Kremin. It certainly did for the leader of Reform in Wales, Nathan Gill, currently serving a 10 stretch after taking £40,000 to advance pro Russian narratives

Back in my youth during the cold war, we had a name for people like that.

It came from non resident billionaires

Man of the people indeed

Who cares as long as he hasn’t broken the law. Labour had minister who committed fraud on car parking tickets, massaged their cv’s and a whole host of other dodgy stuff and I don’t hear you play the holier than thou card. We all know that this is about the mainstream parties feeling threatened.

The other parties wanted a bi election after parliamentary report. He called their bluff . Good on him .

Labour accused of 'hypocrisy' as Russian-linked donations questioned

LABOUR has been accused of ‘rank hypocrisy' as they face criticism for calling on the Conservatives to return party donations from Russian oligarchs, while failing to reveal if their own Russian-linked money will be returned. Who's been donating to the Labour party?

[Pope John XXIII]

Who cares as long as he hasn’t broken the law.

Because he has broken the rules of his job

In any normal job, breaking the terms and conditions of your employment would lead to you being sacked.

Breaking those terms and conditions would not be a criminal offence either, usually.

Labour had minister who committed fraud on car parking tickets,

I have tried every Google search I can, and I cannot find any evidence of a Labour minister or MP being accused of fraud on car parking tickets, so I can't really answer this one

massaged their cv’s

Neither a criminal offence, nor breaking parliamentary rules, because the CV actually had no bearing on her being selected for the job

and a whole host of other dodgy stuff

Like what?

Can you give me an equivalent example to recieving £5m from a crypto billionaire and not declaring it, or recieving money and staff from a convicted fraudster and not declaring it, or recieving £40,000 from Russia

You are excusing extremely serious things with false equivalencies.

and I don’t hear you play the holier than thou card. We all know that this is about the mainstream parties feeling threatened.

No, this is you being a useful idiot for the far right again.

In your mind, they can break any rule, or any law and you will always accept their nonsense about it being a politically motivated witch hunt

It was the same with Trump, who broke the law on multiple things, and he actually did the things he was accused of- but there was literally no law he could break where you wouldn't believe it was a put up job.

It's the same with Farage. He has done this. But he can do whatever he likes because people like you will never believe he's done anything wrong no matter what he does.

The other parties wanted a bi election after parliamentary report. He called their bluff . Good on him .

It's a by-election

And it's a massive miscalculation

He doesn't get to decide what parliamentary procedures are

They could have fought this election and the commission would still have found him guilty- because he is- and then he would still have been recalled and had to fight a by-election again

His tactic was rage- to win this one, before his wrongdoing was publically revealed, and then incite outrage and victimhood in his base at him having to fight it again when his wrongdoing came to roost.

The tactic he has chosen here reveals what a dangerous, unscrupulous and Anti-British grifter he is. He embodied absolutely none of the democratic principals that make this country great.

The other parties have seen this and denied him the oxygen to incite yet more dangerous rage amongst his base. By simply not rising to the bait they have humiliated him and he is not reduced to claiming Count Binface is the establishment.

And people like you will swallow it, unfortunately

I'll give him one thing- the shameful tactics show how dangerous he is and make me even contemplate voting for Kemi

 

[toms]

To say the least I completely disagree but if he has actually broken a law then I’ll vote Tory . Otherwise he is the only person who can deliver a low immigration, lower tax, smaller state agenda. Kemi can’t. All else leads to economic ruin

Labour are reducing immigration.
Reform have raised taxes whenever they have had the chance and then claimed (falsely) that they never even promised to reduce taxes.

Nigel Farage is not the only one who can deliver a low immigration agenda

The current government are delivering it

Legal net migration fell to 171,000 in 2025, numbers not seen since the last labour government. At that rate, David Cameron's promise of "tens of thousands" is looking possible

All down to Tory policies before they left government . I don’t trust either of the 2 parties to deliver on this in the mid to long term. And I don’t believe a single number Labour produce

Ahh toms, steadfastly refusing to believe anything that interferes with his completely fantasy driven right wing extremism.

I’ll take whatever your idea of extremism is. Some Labour councillor tweeted that they were delighted that Anne widdecombe had had a painful death. Your extremists are front and centre and in full view. Meanwhile Anne’s murder investigation is being led by the counter terrorism unit. What happened to this country ?

Tories changed the age threshold before they were booted out and that is what is coming through the system and explains the lower immigration

No they are not.

Only one party take the issue seriously and its not the clowns who made a complete mess of it over 14 years.

And Farage does not take the issue seriously - he takes it that seriously, he has welcomed the comedic fuckwit who was responsible for a large part of the conservatives failed immigration policies with open arms.

His quote before the 2019 General Election was a classic

"The presence of novelty candidates in general elections, is, as you know, a fine British tradition, and as such, I applaud Boris Johnsons decision to stand"

I'm not quite sure what your point is here except there was one particularly disrespectful and horrid Labour councillor (surprise, surprise).

As for Anne Widdecombe's murder, what would make those terrorists 'my extremists'? I don't hold extreme views, although my views on the economy are fairly radical.

You can see an extremist when they think that everyone who shares their point of view is some kind of saint, and anyone who doesn't is the devil, which is what you obviously think.

Would you be happy if I characterized the above folk as 'your extremists'?
