    After much internal debating I manage to stay away from this, barely.

    But the notion of “finally free” makes this very hard. I just hope that the UK old people get what they want as quickly as possible and I dont have to watch leaders of the stature of Farage and the Ex-Mayor drag this out now.


  • Farage is a nasty piece of work. Boris is a clown. It’s saddening to see so many fellow Brits taken in by them.


  • @Private:

    Farage is a nasty piece of work.

    A Canadian news program a couple of nights ago showed a clip of a speech he had just given to the European Parliament, in which he gloated over the victory of the Leave side (“When I came here 17 years ago and said I wanted to lead a campaign to get Britain to leave the European Union you all laughed at me. Well, I have to say, you’re not laughing now are you?”), and in which he openly insulted his fellow MEPs with shots like “I know that virtually none of you have ever done a proper job in your lives, or worked in business, or worked in trade, or indeed ever created a job”.  Considering that these are some of the people with whom Britain will soon be trying to negotiate favourable exit terms, I have trouble understanding why Farange would go out of his way to antagonize them, since from a  purely practical point of view this sounds like a counterproductive thing to do.  He’s presumably never read the famous book “How to Win Friends and Influence People”, one of whose sections is called “How to Change People Without Giving Offense or Arousing Resentment”.


  • Quite right Marc. It was an awful performance.
