    That moment when they lie!

    Politicians!

    The other day the snake that heads the Reform Party (Richard Tice) was asked about how disappointing it was that Farage had decided not to.stand as a candidate?

    He paused for a couple of seconds to mentally prepare his lie (always a good tell tale for the upcoming lie is the pause) and then he spouted “not at all, Nigel is still with us and will be campaigning all over the country with us”.

    I can’t understand why politicians are so lacking in self and collective awareness.

    It’s this sort of reply which really f u c k s off the average person.

    If he’d replied and said that it was a blow and that he was disappointed but that they still thought they had a good offer for the electorate I’d have thought to myself…..”fair play fella”, nice to hear a bit of truth.

    It’s the main reason I now find it so hard to listen to politicians being interviewed, the lack of a straight answer and the absence of hands being held up to admit, “yep, got that one wrong and I/we need to be better”.

    Many dislike Farage but he clearly speaks his mind and tells it the way it is. Farage clearly does not want to tarnish his reputation with a
    k nob like Tice. Whether some like to hear it or not - Farage is still clearly popular as shown on I’m a Celebrity! Pity Farage was not in charge of our borders and there would be less problems!

    Tice is indeed a k nob, but however much Farage strives to come across as some affable bloke you might meet down the pub I still don't like some of his views and don't really buy his act either.
