Of course the guy who claims £2m in expenses from the taxpayer is a man of the people. He has a cloth cap and a whippet!

Some people are so easily led! Show a bloke smoking a cigar and having a pint & some people will believe anything he says.
True. Farage is a total fraud.

Admittedly, he's an extremely talented political chancer but, unfortunately, that's exactly what he is - a political chancer.

A hard line Thatcherite who has somehow managed to convince millions of working class people that he's on their side is the work on genius!

A quick Google search shows Farage was moaning that he was poor a couple of years ago, but also claiming his income was a lot higher than £85k.

You can't trust a word the man says.

A man whom refuses to produce accounts as to his spending of ordinary hard working taxpayers money, who was a director of a company they owed/owes more £100,000 in unpaid taxes.

A man who chose not to have one but 2 taxpayer funded pensions.

A man so rich he claimed he didn't know how much he'd taken from the pockets of hard working British taxpayers.

No one forces him to take the allowances, no one forced him to set a group in the EU so he could take more money from British taxpayers. He very rarely attended meetings of an EU committee of which he was a member, although he was in the building and claimed the allowances.

There was the infamous rent free constituency office in which he managed to spend £70,000, of which he claimed the annual electricity bill was over £3,000 a year. Again no receipts or audited accounts.

There is nothing to stop him transferring to the Treasury consolidate fund the millions of pounds that has been paid into his personal bank account.
You've been researching haven't you? Perhaps you're wasting your time.

The man couldn't even lie straight in bed.

A total fraud.

His background is irrelevant. He is a man of the people because he has demonstrated that he understands the needs of the common man far more than mainstream politicians.

He could be a multi-millionaire banker for all I care, his party is the only political party that talks about what the masses want and not what we are told they want by Lib/Lab/Con shills.
He's failed to win a parliamentary constituency election on 7 occasions, the common man appears to be less enamoured with the Farage cult than you suggest.

Here's a thought.
Try commenting on the topic rather than the poster.
You do seem obsessed with UKIP though

Although Thatcher did it first and better. She was a genius, he is a pale imitation.

He has demonstrated how gullible some people are. Biggest con man in politics.
Blair wins that title, hands down.

There used to be a UKIP watch thread and probably 50 percent of the linked articles about the latest outrage involving some minor parish councillor etc came from one poster.

Because if they can destroy or discredit Farage it goes some way to help to destroy or discredit Brexit.

Not forgetting that, somewhat ironically, he will get a pension from the European Parliament of at least £72,000 a year, boosted by him paying AVCs from his barely-earned salary.

Will you post the same response when Cameron, Blair or Brown crop up on here?

Its you that is given Farage special treatment

Cameron, Blair and Brown were prominent politicians who held the highest elected office in the land whereas Farage couldn't even get himself elected to Parliament.

Still you can argue that Farage's impact on getting the UK to vote to leave the EU will be greater than those three together so another reason for you to hero worship him perhaps ........

The research that said ukip voters were very thin skinned when it came to dealing with criticism of Farage and the party were spot on.
Must post that link about typical UKIP voters soon.

You are the one who is very thin skinned when people criticise your need to post constantly about Farage. It wouldn't be so bad if you could find something interesting to post rather than endless non stories

Aww, come on Bangles - you can't work out whether he's the most dangerous man in the country or an insignifcant nobody who's failed to get elected as an MP, err, how many times is it, you're the only one who seems to know.

Cameron, Blair and Brown were PMs. Nige isn't in quite the same league, is he.

The one thing we can be sure of is that if Mastermind need someone whose specialist subject is Nigel Farage, we know who's first on that list.

Nauseated? Quite the opposite. The finest example of professional trolling seen yet.
