if faux brexit happens, the same laws will still apply and it is perfectly fine to try and leverage them to your benefit

For the ordinarily corrupt yes, but from a highly principled individual of such unwavering integrity as Nigel Farage we expect more.

it's exactly the same as the faux outrage when Farage kept collecting his EU parly salary while campaigning to exit: you can oppose something and exploit the continued existence of that something at the same time, no irony involved, just shrewdness

Corruption is the word you're looking for.

Farage isn't very clever, when he set up his new limited company that masquerades as a political party he forgot to buy the .com website, now Led by Donkeys owns it and have offered it to him for £1million (all proceeds to go to the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants) :laugh:.

That site gets top troll marks, this is particularly funny

Nigel Farage likes to think he’s a political genius, but most of us know he’s just an opportunist who preys on people’s fears. Anyone who’s failed seven times to get elected to Parliament (once beaten by a dolphin called Flipper) is no strategic guru.

Tory MP candidate caught getting friend to pose as anti-Labour swing voter, as party's disinformation campaign continues

‘You know I’m the candidate, but not a friend, alright?’ Conservative heard saying on phone, after forgetting he was wearing microphone

A Conservative candidate has been caught getting one of his friends to pose as an anti-Labour swing voter, raising further questions about the party’s use of disinformation and fake news.

Lee Anderson, who is standing for the Tories in Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, forgot he was wearing a live microphone while he phoned his friend to set up the fake encounter to impress a journalist

“Make out you know who I am... you know I’m the candidate, but not a friend, alright?” Mr Anderson was recorded saying as he spelled out instructions to his friend minutes before bringing a journalist to his door.


The candidate also appeared to lie about the content of the phone call, commenting to the reporter as he hung up that it was about “some leaflets that have just come for me”.

Raab is definitely a bit thick (and probably slowly realising a lot of his constituents don't share his views)

more of the same, couple of loud voices in a crowd that don't share their opinion, that applause at the end was for HIM fyi, not the idiot closest to her own cellphone recording a soundbite that swims against the stream in the room

Only if you don't realise that his constituency has quite a large remain majority. Many of his constituents will definitely be disagreeing with his stance.

Exactly. Lewis Goodall, a Blarite through and through (rather like Dave here) who moonlights as a Sky political reporter, went to the meeting last night and said there were a large amount of Labour supporters there:

Completely strange since the constituency is in leafy Surrey and is true-Blue area and Labour support is risible.

Dave can of course back up his feeling that Raab might lose his seat with Ladbrokes... but he won't. Overturning a 23 000 majority is for the birds... :sneaky:

Making up crap again? That's about all you're good at, isn't it?

I posted a tweet showing video of a constituency meeting (so all constituents can attend), where did I say Raab was going to lose his seat in my post?

Once again, making crap up again...

Well you hate the Tories, don't seem posh enough to vote for the Lib Dems and I do not see you as voting for the Greens and you don't seem to support Corbyn. But you could also tell us who you voted for in 1997, 2001 and 2005 to clear this all up.

@NarrowBandFtw was basically making the point that it was just a bunch of noisy leftie activists (the type who turn up to these meetings) and that it was highly unrepresentative of the constituency as a whole. You seemed to disagree with that assertion in your reply.

I post interesting things that I see, I don't think I have posted my personal opinion all that often as it's not really relevant, unfortunately the less intelligent here seem to jump to conclusions that have no basis in fact, don't they?

I simply pointed out that Raab's constituency has a clear remain majority, you're the one making things up and casting your opinion as fact.

Were you present to verify those you are calling "noisy leftie activists" were definitely not constituents?

Remind us who you voted for?

This model is famous for predicting a hung parliament in 2017 - instead of looking at the national picture, it uses sophisticated modelling techniques to look at each constituency. Mark your calendars! (It's midnight SA time!)

So polls are important again, are they?

What happened to your previous stance that they were useless?

Has Twitter/Facebook/Stormfront changed their stance on them?
