The Daily Express has a lead story headlining Nigel backed for top Brussels job and the article mentons Rogers' replacement.
It's a UKIP MEP backing him. What a joke of a newspaper' I thought it might include a neutral or prominent non UKIP person. What an embarassment the DE is to British media. It's beyond a joke. |

If it's so much of a joke why read it or is it so you can be outraged?

They'd rather listen to the old bloke down the pub ranting about "bloody foreigners" and how "things were better in the old days".

Probably because there's millions of people in this country who do read it and take what they say seriously.

I would say the 17.4 million who voted for Brexit are against FOM, otherwise it's not Brexit at all and the referendum may as well not have happened.

That is probably the case. It seems the British public turned the referendum into one on EU immigration rather than anything to do with economics.

Can you imagine the reaction from that shower in Brussels? Actually, I do believe Nigel could probably negotiate a better deal than anyone Theresa May might appoint and it would all be conducted very swiftly. |

It certainly does. Let's face it, you couldn't find a more staunch Brexiter than Nigel Farage.

You sir/madam shall be called Sherlock from now on.
I see Nigel is on the Ch.4 News at the moment saying he wants "no deal" and the UK straight out of the EU and the Single Market. |

I also note that Farage is all over the media today while the actual UKIP leader (remember him?) is nowhere to be seen... |

I am assuming you are too young to remember life before 1973, when we joined the Common Market?

I've said all along that a hard Brexit is the only logical outcome of the referendum result, it's clearly what the British public voted for.

Secretly, I'm sure that he would love a soft exit as that would give him continued reason for his existence.

It seems Mr Snow was asking Farage some very tough and leading questions. However Mr Snow seemed to go very easy on Nick Clegg. In fact he didn't ask him anything tough - just seemed to be agreeing with him and feeding him answers. Wasn't very nice to watch.

Are you saying our Nigel wouldn't enter into the spirit of negotiations and offer a sympathetic ear to the concerns of the EU commission/members sacrificing the good of the UK for the good of the EU?.......

If Freedom of Movement is so bad for eastern European countries then why are they so in favour of it?
So if we withdraw from the single market then people from eastern Europe will still be able to move to Ireland, Sweden, Germany and other wealthy western countries and we'll still have the problem of caring for our elderly. How are we in a better position? So yes there is a financial and GDP benefit which is what the political class care about. I am talking about the social consequences for those left behind as these countries suffer a loss of their young people. I know remoaners think the only thing that matters is money and GDP growth - but there is more to life than that. Community and family are far more important. Stealing other people's talent rather than training our own up isn't good for the UK either. |
