Nigel Farage refuses to stand at election - James O'Brien reacts | LBC 

@roy Then don't read the daily mail.

@@chatham43 Know thy enemy.

@@bakedbean37 Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

That would be the easy and coward way out for him. He MUST stay and suffer the consequences, like everyone else.

I thought Brexit was a success?

Yep...yet he said himself Brexit has failed. He's a bullshitter of the highest order.

Like all sociopaths, he continually rewrites History.

@stephan And psychopaths comment on it.

Farage was huge fan boy of Oswald Mosley , man who made a deal with Adolf to be leader of Britain for him .

SHOWS HOW LITTLE YOU KNOW ABOUT DIVORCE .

He has no character

@david Not really. You obviously have had a busy day.😊

OP thinks everyone who suffers a family breakdown is of poor character....I think this says more about OP than those people

Just politics?

I think JB will hang on for ages .

Me too. Also starmer

He didn't want the embarrassment of losing for an 8th time. It's probably for the best for all concerned.

@@youubik nurse, he's off his meds again

I'd put it another way - it's a majority of the English electorate who are to blame. As a nation, Scotland voted 62% to remain in the EU and we haven't voted for a Tory government at Westminster since 1955. Despite this we have been dragged out of the EU against our will and of the 16 GEs since 1959 England got the govt it voted for 16 times (100%) but Scotland got the govt it voted for only 6 times (37%). This is what Scots mean by democratic deficit. Is it any wonder that around 50% of us want to dissolve this "Voluntary" UK union?

James being 1 of them who voted for boris johnson.

Follow the money... First he was Bankrolled by Arron Banks, probably still is (and others). Banks is a private insurance company owning £billionaire. So it is no surprise that Farage was pushing for an, "American type insurance based health system" to replace the NHS & Nat Insurance model. (Tories also want this now and are gaslighting the public into thinking getting rid of Nat Ins is a benefit to the country)

PS, J O'B asked, "Who started the decline of the UK?" For me it has to be, Thatcher and the US Neoliberal economics of, Milton Friedman/Greenspan etc, known as, ''Reaganomics'' (trickledown neoliberal economics). Since then it has been a downhill slide for the poorest and working classes of the hoi polloi public and a sharp upward curve for the banksters, owners and wealthy shareholders etc etc. Thatcher deregulated the financial services & banks etc, with her, "Big Bang" of 1986. This allowed big bonuses for bankers and shareholders etc. The Big Bang was the result of an agreement made in 1983 by Thatcher & Co and the London Stock Exchange. And so to speak, "the rest is history".

He was not able to do anything but influence the vote. He was not an MP.

EXACTLY!

True… “ fool me once….”

Not this time. I definitely won't be voting Labour or conservative.

So you're a Tory. Got it. ​@@jake751

The word that sums up the UK(well, English) electorate is Laodicean. ie. unthinking. I thought that ASB was 'another silly book', the new prayerbook that drove me away from my 1662 CofE masses. ah well, I suppose it is a bank or anti-social behaviour...could be anything.

​@@jake751🫠

Yep, very true. They've been outed now, but unfortunately the lie is already half way around the world before the truth had got it's shoes on. They know you can't un-ring a bell, by the time a lie is called out as a lie the world has moved on to the next set of lies. The Truth is always playing catch up to their lies.

Make sure he pays up front lol.

I didn't know Farage was close friends with Hunter Biden.

He might be! He was not de-banked for nothing

@@martinvickers7349 Exactly who knows what other skeletons reside in his closet. You can bet your life he'll be the only one better off as a result of Brexit.

With any luck he'll end up bankrupt like all of Trumpty's mates. Rudy Guiliani's bankrupt now because of him.

You don't like democracy huh?

​@nihilistlivesmatter What democracy? The FPTP voting system which gave the tories dictatorial powers with 43% of the vote. Or the brexit referendum campagin financed with black money of dubious pedigree and the offer of sunlit uplands that could never be. That's not democracy.

Don't you think the electorate should have been given a democratic vote?...are you an autocrat?

​@@nihilistlivesmatter Absolutely. But surely that vote should have been based on data...not lies down the side of a bus?

@@danjames4086 What lies on what bus? You think the remain side were 100% honest 100% of the time

No he’s just a grifter. He can make more money not standing. He also doesn’t like losing and knows he will.

T will employ anyone who ##### his #### & pays his legal bills

Trump loves to employ flatterers, so you can't completely count out Farage. That said, Farage will have to aim a couple feet higher than boots to apply his tongue - and these days Trump is apparently wearing diapers. But I have every confidence that Farage will leave the relevant area of Trump's anatomy spotless if that's what's required.

That is exactly who trump would employ. Fits Trump to a T.

​@@user-ol6rd7pl5tthat would actually make a triangle but the point is relatively sound.

If you're looking for foreign influences behind Brexit then it might be worth noting where the prime instigator is shortly heading off to.

@stephen But you remain here in the UK?

​@@chatham43Don't think op was talking about themselves.

Stay off the hard stuff...that goes for your three mates too!😊

To be fair we were all lied to by Johnson, Cameron should've negotiated harder with the EU for a better deal. People were really fed up at this point and unfortunately voted for Brexit. If people knew that it meant coming out of trading to and from Europe and all the trouble it's caused, they wouldn't of voted for it 😊

I still pass little villages and industrial fencing where I recall seeing that little flag 'vote leave'.

@sel There'll be some knocking on doors when Labour get in!

@@tonycowin you’re clearly woefully uninformed!

@@lynnevenables7193 sorry mate, did you say something?

& you hate them for it huh?

And the Tory parties LIES

Not really. Cameron got 37% of the vote which gave the Tories a majority of seats in parliament. He then set us up for Brexit. The Brexit campaign was based on 100% lies, financed with black money and many voters for it were tricked into getting off their arses to vote for the first time in their lives, thanks to the barrage of lies from the right wing press etc.

@juliet There should be a blanket ban on them voting!

@@chatham43 I think you would be the exact kind to advocate Jim Crow style voting tests

On the contrary, you would still have all the ERG and their supporters agitating about how bad the EU is. There's plenty of blame to go round, but Cameron only gets a small slice. Smaller than anyone who voted leave.

@@OrcusMaximus 'Have' is a verb. 'Would've is short for 'would have'.

Yes how dare Dave give the electorate a choice on anything

​@@nihilistlivesmatter It was a major and nigh on irreversible constitutional upheaval. The problem wasn't giving people a say, it was allowing the same lies and secret campaigns of disinfection that has rotted our political system from the inside out. The Swiss hold fairly frequent referendums, but they have rules in place to ensure a fair and honest case is put to the people.

The referendum could have been a more complex one with options remain in the SM etc, which would have guaranteed a remain win, but they didn't even do that properly

@trent And people call you a sore loser. Just don't get it!

It was a non-binding referendum, wasn't it? And given a (fairly standard) margin of error (+/- 3%), surely the result wasn't large enough for either camp to claim victory. Ergo status quo should have been the order of the day, at least until a clearer result was obtained - the same could be said for the Scottish independence referendum.

Only with Sid James, Charles Hawtrey, Barbara Windsor, Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, Bernard Breslaw et al.

We will carry on regardless.
