Crikey. They really hate Farage now.

Synonymous Thank you for your thanks. I didn't actually say that I agree with what Mr Farage says, but to paraphrase Evelyn Beatrice Hall "I may not agree with what he says, but I defend to the death his right to say it" ...... something which appears not to apply to many of the scribes on this forum! To each their own.

Whether you love him or hate him, he's certainly given the smug elite of Brussels a wake up call.

Beameupscottie Did you see channel 4 news last Friday night? Worst case of finger poking I've ever seen. John Snow nearly took the woman's eye out.

missislippy thank you for your post.

I just hope Mr Farage enjoyed his speech at the European Parliament as much as I and many others enjoyed listening to it. He waited a long time for this moment and once again told them the truth.

Way to go Mr Farage!

I don't like the man never have but he will appeal to some.Don't send him north we don't want him.

Napoleon I totally disagree with your views, but I wish you didn't feel you had to go. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and often these are better talked through and discussed, argued and thrashed out.

Have any of you ever met him? Do you believe in all the hype?

He looks like the sort that poke you in the chest as they talk to you. I am not terribly bothered by him because I feel sure he is being "monitored".

I deprecate his appalling bad manners. Makes me feel ashamed; but I am sure that the MEPs are aware that his approach is not shared by the majority of Brits, which ever way they voted. What a truly objectionable specimen of humanity he is.

"Napoleon not "Au revoir"
"Adieu"
(Wish I could say your contributions will be missed but I have only read this one hmm )"

Charming as ever Alea

Napoleon why don't you stay and tell us what you like about Farage.

Napoleon sorry to see you go, but even sorrier to see the replies to your post .... how sad it is that people who lean to the left are usually the ones who are nastiest to others who disagree with them. Agree with me or you're an unintelligent racist bigot seems to be the mots du jour - whatever happened to democracy? The majority won the vote - live with it! Not all Labour supporters voted Leave and not all Tories voted Remain. I agree with leyburn that Farage is a good speaker and is not afraid to say what he thinks - unlike some others who change their tune more often than their underpants!

I stand repimanded and apologise for a silly comment.

Samantha Camaron has a tatoo. But obviously not a tacky one.

Don't want him down in London either nasty little stirrer

Well said Anya
Just a thought, Farage spoke and millions listened, Corbyn spoke and a lot less listened, mmm.

I can't stand the fact that people abroad have got the idea that an idiot like him is speaking on behalf of the uk. What does that make us look like. I am so angry about this whole mess. All go and sign the on line petition and let's get this referendum result overturned

Too true! Nick Griffin went to Cambridge.

Somebody (can't remember who) wrote something similar on another thread (can't remember which).

Second that anya well said

Elitist claptrap tearing its ugly head again. Don't assume that because someone is racist they are all mentally deficient in some way. You underestimate at your own risk.

I don't know any tattooed thugs personally, but I do know quite a few professionals who hold racist views.

@Blinko

I know it won't, but leaving the EU isn't going to solve that.

Never underestimate the low intelligence of a lot of voters, Have you seen or talked to any ukip supporter that you feel have any brains! They let their tacky tattoos do the talking.

He effectively voted himself out of a job. So why is he still allowed to have a platform. He doesn't represent the British public.

@daphnedill

The UK government has total control over immigrants from non-EU countries and always has, so it could make a rule that elderly parents could come to the UK.

It could, but it won't. Hence a feeling of unfairness in some quarters. Which I understand. I also understand your other points re how the system works at present.

A case of pleasing all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time, inevitably.
