Who is ‘you all’? I suspect his motives are the same as most; money, fame, influence. His Brexit position and the friends that brings has earned him a stay in a £13k a month mansion in Chelsea for example.. it’s not that hard to understand why that would be attractive. 90% of people (100% of tories) who get into politics do so for the simple reason that they are power hungry narcissists who love the sound of their own voices. Trump is a good example. They love and adore power and influence, above all else. After a while they realize they quite like politics, especially when it includes banging your PA, business class flights everywhere, your mug plastered on TV every night and living in a small mansion in Chelsea, as Nigel indulges in. Farage is an opportunist, who sees a way to get more of what he cherishes so much - power and influence. Brexit is a means to an end for Nigel Farage. He enjoys the means though as he is a xenophobe and wants to stick it to Juncker and co. He has failed to be elected a member of British parliament 7 times, and I am sure he would like to quieten some of the internal embarrassment and shame he feels about that. Power hungry narcissists don’t like embarrassment and shame.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Better to let grifter after grifter breeze through the ranks as they can be absorbed into a system of self interest. If you actually care about typical communities and every day lives and have lived one yourself, you bring about suspicion and something akin to an immune response.

Sorry didn't you say the same on 269 I don't think PalazioVecchio meant Labour voters, I think he was referring to the Labour leadership....they would be the ones getting in. Still, I'd never consider someone scum because they vote a certain way. People vote the way they do for different reasons and a lot of Labour's vote....especially the northern vote is tribal and historical...something they seem to be doing their best to erode. That said, I consider Corbyn a traitor and also a disaster that would make May look like a genius.....and May was useless. Edited by Stirlingsays (03 Jun 2019 10.10pm)

Power hungry narcissists don’t like embarrassment and shame. 1. Sounds like bill Clinton or Tony bliar. 2. Farage is married to a German. He puts this country and its people first. Shame him then.

Nice bit of whataboutery there, Rudi, but yes - they are indeed politicians, which is whom I was talking about. Farage can be married to a German all he likes, they are also prone to the odd bout of xenophobia, but we usually excuse each other these days and go for Albanians or Turks. So that’s what Farage is doing, putting this country and its people first? I thought he was a power hungry opportunist peddling snake oil to the gullible masses.

Farage never said that in fact he is on record at the time saying that he thought it was a mistake.

At least Trump's visit makes imbeciles like Thornberry get air time and remind people how ill qualified they are for Government. I just heard her on LBC justifying why Corbyn can sit down with Terrorists but cannot bring himself to be in the same room as Trump. It was straight out of the play book called "Obama gives good advice, Trump interferes". She sounded like Comical Ali come to think of it I have never seen a picture of the two of them together, I wonder?
