Hmmmmm, not sure about him, he has been involved in various ways in politics but ultimately gave it up and has become a more wealthy citizen, doubtless on the back of some contacts in his former life.

No idea what he said and you have not hinted at what that was.

I always doubt folk who appear to use politics as an avenue to a more financially rewarding life. Give me a career politician like the Beast who worked down t'mines before dedicating himself to improving the lot of others. A political career after some experience of real life. I suspect those guys are more trustworthy irrespective of which side of the house they come from.

I'd even trust The Fat Purser before these new age twatts with their degree in politics and having been to the right schools.
Hey! I have a degree in Politics.


Went to the wrong school though :thumleft:
And I had the audacity to argue with you about politics with my degree in feckallogy.

I trust you're finding it useful Baldy but I haven't the sense you've joined a major party.

My daughter went to Northumbria to do politics ............but that is another story.

Considered it when slightly younger but didn't last . . . in the voluntary sector now, telling them all to feck themselves, cept no-one listens.

God, that sounds quite bleak, doesn't it?

Wasn't holding my degree up as a sign of infallibility, bazz. Are you one of these "University of Life" types? :duck:

EDIT: Also, not to labour the point, but I believe it's feckallology.

4 Million bitter & twisted lunatics across wide swathes of that appalling country doth not a party make, simply a widely spread shower of bi-gits & racists who are easily led by the nose by a wide boy & his selection of oddballs.

Meanwhile in the home of democracy I hear that the Human Rights Act faces the chop, just doesn't sound right, but lets see what the proposals are for a Bwitish Bill of Wights. It wouldn't seem so bad if the tossers could speak their own language.

Whenever people speak of qualifications, my mind instantly goes back to East Belfast public nuisance and leader of the "Workers Strike" one maun who spoke as if it were a great inconvenience for his tongue to move within his mouth to create intelligible sounds or indeed words, Billy (pronounced "Bully" appropriately) Hull.

Farage is very entertaining, but behind it he is undoubtedly a monumental dipstick and egotist. I would judge the average UKIP voter more kindly. Without doubt there are plenty of slobbering racists, but there are also a lot of people who were simply frightened into voting UKIP, by the jingoistic rhetoric.

Probably mainly right there Snipe but I couldn't agree about Farage, I find him a scumbag, pure and simple, his only act, based largely on The Pub Landlord it would appear, is very very tired after repeat after repeat after repeat, seen more often that "It's a Wonderful Life".

It'll be interesting to see how he tries to twist his way out of his "resignation".

Very disappointing, nobody except Zanny challenged him in any real way. They are literally running scared of his populist platitudes.
