My point is that place of birth is largely irrelevant. It's not really about "pure blood" or any of that nonsense, it's about integration and respecting the culture you want to live amongst. Would you consider that the offspring of a say, a US couple born here and then returned to the US would be British or US? |

Lee wrote Semantics. Being born in a country does not make one a native. What does make one a native? You run around with no clothes on. That makes the PHucker the only native left. How many generations of pure blood are needed? No such animal as pure blood. And with a place like england, which has been infested with immigrants for millennia now, no such thing as natives either. They all migrated from somewhere, from africa ultimately unless the Neanderthals independently evolved from some form of ape native to that soggy little frigid island that we dont have any evidence of in the fossils anymore. |

He is one of the reasons May wont actually be stupid enough to just ignore the referendum because she knows what would happen with Farage if she was that stupid. which is likely annoying the hell out of him. Dunno, he appears to be having fun posturing for the yanks now. He probably thought that being the UKIP spokesperson would keep him in TV appearances for donkeys years. I doubt it. IMO if he wanted to do that, he wouldnt have quit UKIP. |

You have entirely taken the remarks out of context. And weaselled them They are in fact true. Legislation is not just bills that go through parliament. Legislation is anything that carries the force of law and the EU generates thousands of regulations that never get debated that pass into law every year. And the cost of that legislation and complying with it vastly exceeds the direct cost of money transferred to the EU. I guess you are a labour voter: That sort of sophistry reached its peak with tony blair. As far as doing, he said once brexit was achieved he was out. He has uniquely for a politician stood by that. UKIP is no longer of use to him. Proof by assertion? -- "Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money.

Since the referendum, he hasn't been relevant to anything, which is likely annoying the hell out of him. He probably thought that being the UKIP spokesperson would keep him in TV appearances for donkeys years. He's been off the screen for the past few months because he has be lording it up in the US with Trump's campaign team. His hope that massaging Trump's ego would land him the post of official UK representative didn't work though. But he's back today - he was the Beeb's first port of call to discuss the "carswell incident! As what, official UKIP spokesperson, or somebody who would attend the opening of an envelope, if it involved a TV appearance? Whatever else he is, he's certainly the most televisual representative that UKIP has. He is certainly plausible and charismatic, but the same can be said of people like Frank Abagnale and Charles Ponzi. I haven't seen a charismatic Remoaner yet. Generally spend their time denigrating peop0le who have achieved something! |

Duh. Farage isnt relevant to anything but immigrants, stupid. Since the referendum, he hasn't been relevant to anything, which is likely annoying the hell out of him. He probably thought that being the UKIP spokesperson would keep him in TV appearances for donkeys years. Only half the goals of UKIP look like they MIGHT be achieved. As I doubt that he ever saw UKIP as anything other than a vehicle for promoting Nigel Farage, that isn't relevant either. You couldn't be more wrong. You shouldn't judge him by the standards you judge a professional politician like e.g. Farron or Corbyn. I judge people by what they say and do, not by stereotypes. On the basis of that, I rank Nigel Farage as rather less trustworthy than Tony Blair. I don't expect you to agree. Have you actually ever heard him speak? I have watched him in interviews. Or just what was reported out of context in the guardian/BBC etc etc.? Reports suggest that he generated some outright lies, such as that over 70% of UK legislation originates with the EU and that membership of the EU costs us over £50 million a day. Are you now claiming that these were somehow taken out of context and he really meant that around 2 out of 3 pieces of UK legislation that were active in 2014 were entirely home grown, or that the actual cost of belonging to the EU is around £17 million, after allowing for the rebate and the amounts we receive back in aid? You have entirely taken the remarks out of context. And weaselled them They are in fact true. Legislation is not just bills that go through parliament. Legislation is anything that carries the force of law and the EU generates thousands of regulations that never get debated that pass into law every year. As at March 2015, there were 75,820 laws of all kinds on the UK legal database. Of those, 22,398 (29.5%) originated with the EU, but not all of those would have any direct effect on the UK, for example those covering growing tobacco in the Canary islands and whether Danish ships can catch mackerel. As I said, about two out of every three pieces of legislation, both primary and secondary (i.e Regulations, whether UK or EU) are entirely home grown. Here are few links that you probably won't want to believe either: https://tabloidcorrections.wordpress...press-article/ http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/seb-..._14591852.html https://infacts.org/farage-makes-hat...arr-interview/ -- -- Colin Bignell |
