Election Year or Fear!

it just seems really odd to me that Farage objected so vociferously to what amounted to 20,000 Syrian refugees but has had nothing to say about over ten times that many Ukrainians.

...and Farage may have his own reasons, but I'm surmising that he was plugging into the possibility that many normal people apart from Farage feel less threatened by folk that a) don't intend to stay, b) broadly speaking share our 'ways' (note not 'values') and c) have no violent intent (above that contained in our own population)

values

PLEASE don't start with values, where were you last week?

Indeed. 17,410,742 of them

Maybe Auntie should have installed a head shaking stooge in various audiences in 2016, it would certainly have eased your demeanour in the mean time

If by that your referring to those who voted leave, then your mistaken to think that the majority of these did so because of "our Nige"!.

Lets not confuse the fact that his ramblings put the wind up some of the Tory party and that Cameron in an attempt to cure the festering sore within the Tory party that was the division between the eurosceptics and the europhiles decided to have a referendum, then ****ed up the management of that referendum because he thought it easy to win.

There were a number of different reasons as to why people voted leave in the referendum, immigration loomed large but wasn't the only or even the deciding factor.

Given the UKIP vote of around 4 million, that number less than a 1/3 of what you have quoted would be a reasonable estimate as to who is dumb enough to swallow the lies and crazed ravings of the grifter.

No arguing with that, maybe 1,269,501 (the margin of victory) (or defeat I guess)

I don't think his were ramblings though. I think everything he did and said was targeted, the only thing he couldn't have predicted was how useless the 'defence' (the Remain campaign) would be.
