Maggie did pretty well, for a girlie.

I doubt she'd have the success nowadays unlike she did 35 years ago.

And herein lies the problem with politics: believing that one man can make a difference. You can't. It's an all encompassing machine that's self-serving. it encourages and attracts all those that are self-serving. You become one with it. It must be destroyed and not from within.

I think that was an olive branch and an opportunity to make a difference.

I met my local MRLP rep. He was a really nice bloke. I particularly loved the way the more "serious" politicos made all the extra effort to either ignore him or scorn at him. I'm voting for him at the next election, just so I can tell that ****** in the blue or red shirt what a massive cock he is.

It was like my local Councillor on hearing my views on a recent controversial planning permission court case saying "you seem to know a lot about this, you should consider joining us" and me turning round and saying straight to his face: "Join you? Join you? No, I intend to send the whole system crashing into obsolescence".

His expression was priceless!

I suspect It's been a closed shop in Politics so long they have no idea how to handle the independents.

Now that I can agree with, at least you know what you're getting

No, I didn't read it, hence my point. It's all bulltulip sensationalism. All the info we get that shape our views is from newspapers and MSM. It's all bollocks. It's all irrelevant. Ignore it and go do something more useful instead.

Vote Monster Raving Loony Party!

That's your prejudice talking.

He's a politician. That's what he does. That's what they all do.

The problem is helmet, you get caught up in it all like someone watching a Punch and Judy show and get all frothy and ranty. "He's behind you!". Heart attack material. It's all smoke and mirrors. Let it go. Focus on something else you'd like to do. Like flower arranging. Or sudoku.

You did read it, didn't you?

So Nigel, the truth is you are actually no different to all the other political spivs in Westminster and are out to take as much for yourself as you can it would seem

It's not a tax dodge. He sells his services/image as a PSC.

UKIP are dross and Farage is a fool, but on this issue there is no issue except the media looking to sell inches.

[hyperD]

You have to hand it to Nigel Farage, he does the 'common touch' well with his populist soundbites and 'man of the people' image.
UKIP and Farage have also been trying to sell themselves as somehow different from the mainstream political parties, with promises to stand up for the common man and end the spiv culture that pervades our body politic.
Yet here is their leader using a tax dodge to avoid paying income tax whilst the common man he claims to champion groans under the yoke of austerity (which incidentally UKIP and Farage support wholeheartedly) which is being imposed because .......
we have a big national deficit caused by a drop in the tax take.
........
So Nigel, the truth is you are actually no different to all the other political spivs in Westminster and are out to take as much for yourself as you can it would seem and hang the 'common man' (haven't forgotten you trying to set up an offshore company to avoid tax a couple of years ago and you and your fellow UKIP MEP's claiming £800K a year in expenses from the EU either).
UKIP offering something different? Yeah right!
Mind you what do you expect from a party set up by a merchant banker, funded by bankers and the fossil fuel lobby and run by an ex-banker.
Shame some people are so blinded by their hatred of the EU, immigration and disillusionment (which is justified) with the other three parties to notice that UKIP are taking them for a ride.

Stop fixating on Farage the man.

This is about raising awareness to get the UK out of the EU.

It's the message not the messenger.

Nigel is indeed a benefit tourist and welfare bum.

[Zero Liability]

Labour should do the 'patriotic' thing and disassemble.

[vetran]

One of us ?

£45,000 in extra earnings...INKSPE!

he probably does it for liability reasons.
