Yet Jello Biafra is very much of the left

Indeed so, but the threat is less down to the creation of the neutron bomb and more based on mankind's suicidal headlong plummet into resource wars and global environmental destruction.
and of course religion
At least 2 of my learned friends seem unaware that Farage is no longer a member of UKIP...... he heads the new Brexit Party. That's all by the by anyway as I don't see Farage getting elected to Parliament anyway so he couldn't be Prime Minister.
Let's all stay in this damnedawful monolith and act as 5th columnists and destroy it from within.......
A lovely idea but, as only the EU Commission is allowed to put policy forward for putting into Law, it aint gonna happen.
Not sure anyone’s mentioned Farage on here for a while MA, but I for one am all too well aware of his new ‘incarnation’.Quote:

Fortunately, as someone I regard as the ultimate hypocrite, he is no nearer being elected to Parliament than he ever has been.
He is, again imo, the single most negative and divisive current political presence in this country and the only person who has benefited from the actions of Nigel Farage over the last decade or so is...Nigel Farage himself who, while the country as a whole has been thrown into three years of increasing chaos, has done very nicely indeed.
Not on your Xmas card list then? :OQuote:

Easy meal ticket for Mr Farage, hardly going to come out the "bad guy" of his supporters. I share your opinion of him, though I feel that way about most of them.
Wow...that’s a (pleasant) surprise Adi.Quote:

Farage is purely negative...happy to knock things down and cause national confusion and doubt, but never offers a solution while in the meantime he increases his own personal wealth and the value of his EU provided pension.
Ah but who is funding this Brexit party? Its not Farage thats for sure! AS for who has benefitted from his actions well theres a cabal of the elite very wealthy people who if he gets his way and convinces those ignorant ****s who think he's on their side who will benefit very nicely to the tune of billions and its us suckers who will be paying that!Quote:
