Farage is either not paying enough attention or knows the left will use this to their own advantage as the mainstream media have done a great job with the character assassination / misrepresentation of TR.

It's a fairly easy target as there will always be a minority turning up to anything relating to TR who the media can use against him. That's going to happen if you are the only person in the mainstream speaking out about this stuff.

If he does manage to get the leader sacked who's turn is it next

It is a fair point but I would not be too sure of the public mood right now. I would hope that the more pragmatic would see past the 'baggage' and think about the bigger picture.
As we know, politicians are mercenary creatures, so I would expect that the attitudes of potential voters at a given time will determine who is in or out. He could be divisive within the party of course but neither main party have much to crow about in that department either.
A lot will depend on Brexit and what else happens between now and the next election.

UKIP will have zero say in forcing a clean Brexit. They're not part of the conversation.

I'd certainly see some Tory votes moving to UKIP next time round if the current deal gets ratified. But personally can't see it being any worse for the Tories than the last time they were 'popular'. Would take a serious incident for that to happen.

I also think the perception of looming anarchy and social breakdown related to that is a bit strong. Out of interest have you arrived at that opinion though media coverage or through your own experience in your local area?

I'm far more worried about the already rapidly developing issue of automation and what it means for most of the worlds workforce. Now that, if left unresolved, will cause anarchy and social breakdown.

The gig economy is filling the job market nicely at the moment, but it won't do so forever, eg Uber. People driving cabs will be a thing of the past in 20/30 years. Extrapolate that out across a lot of the gig economy, manufacturing and assembly workforce...

Recipe for serious unrest if not handled well. The rest of it is of course important but pales in comparison to the complexity of that issue.

The well-off, well-educated and the 'elites' will always win. Plucky little Stevey won't even make so much as a brief, irritating smudge on their windscreen. Challenging the way of the world is noble, and required, but don't expect it to change anytime soon.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

I like Robinson.....well to be more accurate I don't know him but I like the pushback he represents in a culture where no one else has the balls to do it.....Well, outside of Batten I suppose.

I like Ukip......because without them we wouldn't be leaving the EU.....even though the elites are stitching us up.

But there's some good comment on the thread.....Robinson and Ukip don't need to be aligned....if they are fine...if they aren't fine.

However I do support Ukip's support of Robinson even if it's purely on the free speech angle.

Yep, agreed, advocating violence isn't good.
