Nigel Farage stands down as UKIP leader

[Bambino]

I don't want to get into a discussion about the rights or wrongs of Brexit, but this is a good thing. The man is a lowlife.

I read this before and thought how the hell did he get elected in the first place. His speech at the EU left me feeling embarrassed to say the very least.

I thought he had already stood down or been replaced after being voted out of his MP seat?!?

Edit - just read the article. He gave notice after the last election but it was turned down....

Delighted to hear it. Though I will say he led part of the country to Brexit.....then quits when the 'going gets tough'....Hateful man...

This UKIP EU referendum poster and the screenshot from a Nazi newsreel made in 1941 sickened me.

And 99.9% of sane citizens of the UK.....

This man does not give up.....Part II "I will be back"

[jonsie]

He has his supporters but they seem to be spread quite thin now. Old politician ever die, they just fade into obscurity and stop annoying the hell out of people.

I love the way he resigned, came back.. and then lead the leave vote and when he got his hearts desire...cleared off to let others sort out the ensuing mess...Currently this country is like a ship which has been caught in a terrible storm and the captain and crew have jumped into the only lifeboat and cleared off to safety

Like the proverbial rats...
