Why On Earth Is The Daily Mail Trying To Smear Nigel Farage???

Seems odd that the paper should be running this story. Surely they should be treating him as a hero after he successfully campaigned for Brexit?

[Old_Geezer]

Maybe the fact that he's a political hero is old news and doesn't sell newspapers ?

[Jennykenny]

Because they are the Daily Mail.
Everyone is up for grabs.

[Old_Geezer]

Also the MoS Ed is a remainer, as far as one can tell, and would be inclined to run anti Farage exposés. It seems a bit of a "storm in a teacup" anyway.

[Gromit]

It is too good a story for the Mail to ignore.

And they have long been a bit anti-UKIP. They support the Conservative Party, so even UKIP are not immune to the Mail's mighty pen.

It's too good a story for any newspaper to be ignore. :-)

To be honest, I couldn't care less if Farage is living with his pet goat. But perhaps there is another side to this story ?

Perhaps we might ask why he is claiming an allowance for accommodation twice ?

UKIP are already under investigation for irregularities in claiming expenses after all.

And perhaps Farage should be asked why he is faffing about in America, and moonlighting as a disc jockey, when he should representing his constituents in Brussels ?

a. It's hardly a secret pad, and
B. Arn't you just a bit jealous?

[mikey4444]

I wonder what Farage is going to do when looses his good looks !

[sp1814]

khandro

Jealous?

Me?

Of Farage or his flatmate?

Either way no.

In the very strongest terms...no.

[sp1814]

mikey4444 the grammar Nazi in me is forced to overlook 'looses' in order to give you BA for making me chuckle there.

[mikey4444]

Imagine the stink he is making of that poor girls flat, with all his cigarettes, not to mention all those empty brown ale bottles !

The 'Mail's' owner ( Rothermere? )is one of the largest recipients of EU farming subsidies in the UK £85,000 last year! The DM's stance must have been a twin edged sword for him!

[EDDIE51]

Editor not owner and it is £88,000

Oh dear!!!! is that the best you can do? Mind you, just look at what you have been awarded a BA for?

"Simple things" springs to mind.

Mikey, perhaps read the article again.

//That poor girl's flat//

Is it?

[mikey4444]

Lighten up AOG.

//That poor Girls Flat//

Laure Ferrari, who is 15 years younger than the married Brexit campaigner, moved in with Mr Farage in a grand Georgian house in an upmarket area of West London last week.

[Khandro]

*"Mr Farage also told the newspaper: "She is someone I have worked with and known well for a long time who wanted somewhere to stay for a week that wouldn't cost her any money. "
