How Many Onn Here Thinkthis Is Acceptable?

Farage was splattered with milkshake today.

I'm pretty sure I know who will be so come on admit it.  The left always get violent when no argument.  She should be arrested, charged with assault and fined regardless of what (any) politican wants to happen.

Personally I deplore such actions against any politian and before the usual start I was right behind 2 Jabs when he was attacked - look it up if you dont believe me.

^I agree.

[bednobs]

i cant see how anyone can either find this acceptable or funny.  It's a mere step from people thinking it's ok to assault politicians because they don't agree with them, to what we've sadly seen before, with MPs of various colours being murdered because people dont agree with their views.

in addition, what civilised grown up person thinks that is in any way an ok way to behave?

i am in the macD milkshake being vile camp, but then all milkshakes are to me

> Hymie, I don't see many Brexiteers complaining

Here's one, said on Newsnight on Monday May 13th by Nigel Farage: “Brexit has failed. We’ve not delivered on Brexit and the Tories have let us down very, very badly.”

And a recent YouGov poll agrees, although most people don't talk about it:

https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/45733-most-britons-say-brexit-has-been-more-failure

A new YouGov survey shows that the public agree with the former UKIP and Reform UK leader, with 62% of Britons describing Brexit as “more of a failure”, and only 9% considering it “more of a success”. A further 20% describe it as neither, while the remaining 9% are unsure.

You appear to have failed to read the rest of my post, ellipsis.

I read it, I just don't agree with it. Farage is just as culpable of Brexit being failing as anyone else who pushed it as hard as he did. Did he not realise what was going to happen within the Tory party, when four leaders - May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak - have all created that failure?  Did he know nothing about the Tory party?  What did he think was going to happen ... really.

[naomi24]

Perhaps he thought democracy would be respected.  We know now it isn't.

 //What did he think was going to happen ... really./

 

He thought as millions of others did, that the government would be enabled to curb immigration. It's not his fault if they didn't, but they are now about to pay the price of the Brexit Pyrrhic victory.

Just the wrong kind of democracy.

[THECORBYLOON]

NAOMI, "Perhaps he thought democracy would be respected.  We know now it isn't."

It would appear he didn't believe that in May 2016 when he thought the vote might be to remain.

Farage said this,

"In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ends it."

[naomi24]

But the right way, Corby, would have been to work towards another referendum - and that's what Farage would have done - but that hasn't happened.  Instead we've had subterfuge and lies.

Hymie, I don't see many Brexiteers complaining  - no they more than happy with the blue passports and King Charles bank notes

as for farage leading the charge for Brexit but is innocent - as a new born babby - of the aftermath

will apologists never cease with their ingenious and jesuitical arguments and excuses about ST Nige?

[Peter Pedant]

Instead we've had subterfuge and lies.

Naomi ! very insulting to one of your previous faves, has your adoration of The Nige abated?

[Hymie]

Naomi said //Mr Farage led the charge for Brexit but he is not responsible for what happened afterwards//

That’s one of the most ridiculous statements I’ve ever read.

 

Mr. Farage now wants the UK to leave the ECHR, I take it that he would in no way be responsible for what happens should we be stupid enough to do what he wants?

[naomi24]

Hymie, //That’s one of the most ridiculous statements I’ve ever read.//

 

Why?  He wasn't the one charged with implementing it.  He had no authority or remit to do that.  Logic really isn't your forte, hymie.

 

//Mr. Farage now wants the UK to leave the ECHR//

 

I agree with him - but he has no authority or remit to do that either.

[youngmafbog]

You have not a clue ~Hymie.🙄

[Hymie]

Let’s say Farage wanted us to bomb Russia – and he convinced enough of the population that it would be a good idea (and we did); by your logic, he would in no way be responsible for what happened afterwards.

[naomi24]

Hymie, Where did you get 'in no way' from? 

[jackthehat]

And so.....we have (once more) segwayed from "Is it ever appropriate to demonstrate your opposition to a political figure by hurling fluid, of some sort, at them?"

to

'Brexit is awful and those who voted for it are utter b'stards"

and it is utterly tedious. We voted. We're out. Suck it up.

[Hymie]

OK, he would not be responsible for what happened after we bombed Russia.
