I don't remember rich people leaving the country when income tax was 60% under Thatcher.

Has it occurred to anyone, that Self is quite deliberately rude ? He writes for a living, gets loadsa feedback, knows exactly the effect of what he says ........... The thing he's NOT trying to do is win votes ..........

Not really. Plenty of people seem happy to speculate that Trump will somehow contrive to start WW3 with Russia; therefore Britain would inevitably be involved in such a conflict.
In which case, which section of the population would be most likely to stand up and volunteer to defend this country? Serious question. |

It's all wine and roses until Vlad says Niet. Then Trumpy boy goes off in the huff.
Vlad then makes a deal that is good for Russia, complements Trump. Trump is flatterred. Vlad laughs. Still he's better than LePen, Wilders, Robinson; Farage, Nuttal etc. Putn is smarter than the others, but disagree that he's better. ( they're all awful) |

It is a serious subject but it would have been going off topic Sarah Wollaston (Conservative Chair of the Health Select Committee)...Nice lady Richard Burgon (Labour Shadow Justice Secretary)..Demonstrated the poor quality of the opposition Nigel Farage (Former Leader of UKIP)....The star Will Self (Novelist)....Smug, arrogant rude bore Louise Mensch (Author & Commentator)...Not too bad at all |

Belligerent, bitter and rather vindictive. Spent all night goading Farage with bug eyed rants.

He mentioned the EU, Ukraine and Putin twice tonight and explained why we should stay on friendly terms with Putin.

And he's right. One of the few things I agree with Farage about. Mensch's anti-Putin tirade was way over the top, full of lies and exaggeration.

Gracious me - hard to tell who's bitter. Both of you still criticising Will Self, yet you're coming across worse than him.

Yes, but he's the one invited onto a national tv politics show in order to debate - and not just to confront another panelist.
What did you see that was confrontational? |

Is he exempt from criticism? Odd, really, because one of the many insults Farage regularly has hurled his way is that he's a 'pub bore', but that's exactly how Self came across last night.

So tell me what did Self 'hurl' at Farage to upset you so much, yet Farage took it in good humour? From what I saw last night there were moments when they both agreed with each other.
Your imagination is going into overdrive.

I didn't say he hurled anything at Farage and I'm not remotely upset about anything. I'm merely registering my disdain for Will Self as he's a crashing bore.

I agree.
He has an 'unfortunate' style of delivery but nevertheless I agree wholeheartedly with what he says, |

He answered the questions raised, some in an amusing way - even Farage could see the funny side.

Will Self seems to be a horrible human being. I had been listeing to a serise he has had on radio four latley and he seems a very angry, thin skinned individual. Plus that voice.

Yes, I particularly like the contempt he had for McDonalds workers/jobs. Very telling for a north London socialist.
onald's. It's horrible junk food and who wants more of it? His comment had nothing to do with people working there. Honestly, some people are really touchy ![]() And what does where he lives got anything to do with it? |

I think Farage is right about Russia. The whole west needs a completely new approach. Clinton would have been a disaster, at least Trump might make a more positive change.
