Will he, should he?

Imagine that I held a senior position within the FSTE100 company I work for and proposed a plan of action to the board that would dramatically improve the company – so convinced that my idea was a winner, I said that I would resign if the plan was not a success.

 

Others on the board pointed out that my idea would not work, and would in fact lead to the company being in a much poorer position.  Further, that my plan had an element of ‘burning bridges’ such that the plan could not easily be undone if things went wrong.

 

The company backed my plan and implemented it; after a few years it was obvious to all (even me) that the plan had failed and made the company much poorer, but I refused to resign.

I told the board that the reason for the failure of my plan was the way they implemented it, and that it was still a great plan.

 

Do you think the CEO would be asking me for further ideas to improve the company’s performance?

 

The above is what Farage has done to UK plc – I would not let that fool near any position of power.

Farage's record is hardly encouraging. He was one of the Bankers who caused the 2010 crash, then one of the Brexiteers who caused another financial disaster. 

Perhaps the idiot's hoping for 3rd Time Lucky.

The problem for "populists" will be that once they enter the political mainstream they become a part of the system they despise. And their easy solutions liable to turn out to be just as ineffective 

[Hymie]

If I was Nigel Farage, I would be laughing my testicles off every time some fool asked for my opinion, or listened to anything I had to say.

If he's an idiot canary then he is a £1million richer idiot. How much have you accrued over the last couple of months?😁😁                 

[Khandro]

The mere thought of it seems to be getting up Hymie's nose in a big way, so there must be some mileage in it, bring it on! 😄

there are still many unanswered questions about where arron banks' money comes from and the extent of his connections with Russia, about which he has given contradictory statements. quite why mr farage is so comfortable accepting such vast amounts of money from a person who is so clearly dodgy is a question i leave with the reader

I don't think Nigel was "banker" as such - wasn't he a commodities trader? Still if it suits your agenda to call him a banker...

[Khandro]

 For the record;

'Nigel Farage began his career in 1982 as a commodities trader at the London Metal Exchange and later ran his own successful metals brokerage firm. He then went into politics after the Conservative party signed the Maastricht Treaty, which advocated “ever closer union” between European nations. He became a founding member of UKIP in 1993 and set about campaigning for Britain’s EU withdrawal.

In 2014, under Farage’s leadership, UKIP came first in the European election topping the poll in the UK with 4.5 million votes and in doing so becoming the first political party since 1906 to win a national election that was not the Labour or Conservative parties.'

Nigel sure aint  trying to endear himself to the senior Tories.

On Thursday, he replied as follows to a tweet by James Cleverly that had sought to claim credit for the lack of small boat Channel crossings over Christmas: ‘You may be called Cleverly but you are clearly a moron. I am close to Dover now, the wind has been gusting 50 mph…That is why there are no migrant crossings. You charlatans and liars all deserve to lose your seats at the election.’

Don't they just ? 😄
