Oh Dear,

[gulliver1]

Nigel Farage has Mysteriously left his Post at LBC Before his Contract is up , Did he jump or was he pushed.

[weecalf]

who Could we ask ?

[grandpajoe]

Why should it matter????

[Bobnunton]

A soothsayer maybe

[Mozz71]

Possibly he's looking to take advantage of the situation and head back into politics?

God forbid.

[gulliver1]

Probably because of his friendship with Humpty Trumptie.

Just a case of another one Bites the dust. Can't see Boris lasting very much longer either

Is this to complement your predictions from last year that "Brexit ain't gonna happen" (or words to that effect)?

[Peter Pedant]

// //Just a case of another one Bites the dust. Can't see Boris lasting very much longer either//

erm has any govt with a majority of 86 voted itself out of office?

Now in the matter of the Kings divorce bill - 1820 - clause 2 scraped thro with a majority of 1 (*)
and the Kings ministers advised dropping clause 2 and then the whole bill (um which would be cl 1)

for fear of being defeated and HAVING to call a general election

(*) this was the time that a dying MP was carried in a paliasse to vote and died later that night. or the Reform Bill 1831. Anyway it was that rule (personal votes or none) which they are squabbling about now. why cant I vote by donkey or whatever

so it looks as tho we have Boris for the meantime - four years

He's going on the campaign Trail with the Trumpster, he was credited with helping him win last time, makes sense to have the most successful ever British politician on board.

[ToraToraTora]

I'm so looking forward to November, It'll be almost as good as Dec 12 last year. I also have a £20 bet with Jim on it. The real bonus though will be gulliver and diddly sulking for 10 weeks, bliss!

[Mozz71]

//the most successful ever British politician on board.//

Are they digging up Thatcher or Churchill?

[royfromaus]

He was right in what he said but shouldn't have used the word Taliban...it gave them the excuse they wanted.

[andy-hughes]

roy - // He was right in what he said but shouldn't have used the word Taliban...it gave them the excuse they wanted. //

What did he actually say?

[andy-hughes]

As you were - I've found it, thanks.

Farage has been a vocal critic of the recent Black Lives Matter protests and sources at the station pointed to internal fury over his comments earlier this week comparing protestors who destroyed the statue of Edward Colston in Bristol to the “taliban”.

He said, ‘Today I saw the Taliban at work’ referring to desecration of monuments.

[jno]

the Taliban really did destroy statues. The Bristol protesters just gave Colston a wash; he's back out of the water now.

[ToraToraTora]

well I think it is very Taliban, vandalising art work and all that, very astute from Lord F.

[Mozz71]

I'm still onterested to learn why he's Britain's most successful politician Tora. Brexit, I assume?

[Jackdaw33]

Got it in one, Mozz.
