Title: Farage
Post by: Alex on June 27, 2023, 10:06:58 PM
Nigel has won the best TV News Presenter award, much to the dismay of the BBC and other MSM and yes, he was booed as he beat Susanna Reid to the award. :yay:

It's great news for me as I voted for him.

The booing & shouts of 'scum' & 'rubbish' are a disgrace, but Nigel shrugs it off.

He's dealt with the best in Europe shouting at him for 20 years, so he's not going to be bothered about a mixed bunch of wokes, lefties &, no doubt, LGBQT perverts shouting at him.

Good for Nigel.

Not just the Biased Broadcasting Corporation, but the lefties and all of those who are doing their best to change this once-proud country into a third-world dump. 
The truth is that they are all afraid of him, and should he ever enter parliament with a substantial number of colleagues, they're going to be more than a little upset!

GB News itself won an award.

We are watching Talk TV at the moment and Julia Hartley-Brewer has won an award as well.  I think it was for Talk Radio but I was reading LetsChat so was not concentrating properly!  She is very good but I wish she would slow down because she starts to get her words muddled when she tries to talk as fast as her brain is working.

Give TalkTV a go klondike, you may enjoy it.  I quite enjoy the weekend morning news when Dr David Bull is on with Dr Renee.  Dr Renee has a tendency to check how beautiful she is on the monitor but she is very good especially when she feels strongly about something and goes on a rant.

If the booers vote for Labour and the Greens, and are successful in getting such a government, they are the ones who will reap the whirlwind!

That's democracy.  The majority votes for prats = the majority gets what they deserve.

We older ones need not worry too much because we won't be around for long enough to see the final destruction of the country which we once proudly held to be great.

I've just been reading about Brighton and their newly elected Green council.  Parking charges (and others) have been raised so much that most people are avoiding the town and going elsewhere now.
Brighton is now sinking due to lack of income.

The Greens would destroy any place of which they manage to take control.
The answer: don't vote for them!

I like Talk Radio too !  I love Julia HB but you're right, she does talk so fast sometimes.  Then at 10am it's Mike Graham, a no nonsense chap.  If I'm here, I switch to GB New at 3pm for Patrick Christy, then Nigel at 7pm.

Some days I sit in the garden  :grin:  :grin:

I have just been told,  The Reform Party is registered as a limited company not a political party

It has 3 Directors & a Secretary
Nigel Farage is one
Richard Tice is another

That seems rather unsavoury to me.

I suspect that there will be a good reason for them not, as yet, registering as a political party.
I'm sure that they will do that nearer to the next general election.  After all, that would be the only way in which they could obtain any votes!

Reform UK is a Private Ltd Company & a political party.

The Liberal Democrats is a Private Ltd Company & a political party.

Labour (Scotland)  was a Private Ltd Company & a political party.

The Labour Party has Private Limited Companies & is a political party.

The Conservative Party has Private Ltd Companies & is a political party.

So I suggest that whoever told you, what they thought was a nice juicy revelation to discredit Reform UK, aren't as clever as they thought they were.

As can be confirmed beyond any doubt by the Companies Act 2006.

I'd like to think so.

I just can't get into the mindset of people who can't see that all the current political parties with MPs are failing.

I want a party that is effective, not a choice between dumb & dumber.

Ah, I apologise.  I hadn't realised.

Throughout my life, my earliest experience of Labour PMs began with Wilson.  I never really regarded him as particularly dangerous (unlike BLiar and Brown), although I do remember our aeronautical engineers developing an aircraft for the RAF which would have been streets ahead of anything else in the world, including the USA.  That was the TSR2.

Wilson, of course, cancelled it, but not until a great deal of money and expertise had been wasted.
I still don't know why, though, and I seem to remember other bad decisions on his part as well.

However, Wilson pales into insignificance when compared to Brown and especially BLiar, the latter especially having created so many problems for us and our country to the benefit, of course, of himself and his equally self-centred wife.

Of course, the Conservatives, certainly since BLiar, have been rather incompetent, if not corrupt.
In fact, in my opinion, over the entire list I provided above, only two PMs have led the country really well:
Churchill and Thatcher.
Each, incidentally, have been responsible for the defence of our country in times of conflict and have been completely effective on both occasions.

Conversely, since and including BLiar, our incompetent leaders have allowed others to take control of us to our disadvantage, be it by foreign governments or mass illegal immigration.

Wilson was involved with a dodgy businessman called Kagan who funded Wilson's private office & in return Wilson made him a Peer.

Kagan committed tax fraud but it was arranged for the charge to be changed to one of theft & false accounting which complied with extradition treaties so when Kagan fled to Israel he couldn't be extradited.

Kagan did eventually return to the UK & did jail time.

Kagan was a close friend of KGB agents, Richardas Vaygauskas & Oleg Lyalin who boasted about Kagan's links to Wilson & this led to Wilson being looked at by MI5 & is rumoured as the reason he resigned suddenly in 1976.
