Why?
He seems like a decent chap and he talks sense.
This is the danger. The sense he talks is superficial and will collapse with the tiniest bit of analytical thinking.
Does he have a party though?
Well not exactly but it functions as one all the same.
It's not the man anyway, but his philosophy. It can and is likely to be deployed anywhere.
Lets take a look.
The debate here is globalisation. We can not function alone. We have to get what we need to survive from all over the world. True to form Farage wins the argument, but watch carefully how he does it. If you are smart you will see it, if not you will tell me there is nothing to see here. What is to see here is how the conman plies his trade. Lets look at some of those who bought it.
top comments:
And so it goes on. The fans are a thick as pig's shit and yet there are millions of them. This same philosophy is syndicated on GB News where you will get identical morons. It's simple answers to complex problems that are so easy to solve you don't even need to think, and if you were ever caught thinking, this would imply you were stupid and cant get what is so obvious. If I go on any longer I'll tie myself in knots!

He's a spent force and should bugger off into retirement. When Mao died some people figured the reason Mao failed was he was not pure enough and strict enough in his ideology. In order to fix it they created the Khmer Rouge.
Now we have Reform. The problem with it is this idea of Britishness. The idea is we make everything in this country and apply protectionism for foreign-made goods. These parties make out they are right-wing, but they are economically left-wing protectionists.

Farage stands up for Britishness, i have no problem with that. Like the French stand up for frogness etc. The values of englishness are wonderful. The problem with Farage as i see it is that he confuses Putin thinking and feeling the same, that Putinism is for and rejects all that is bad about socialism wokery etc.
Putin is not about British values, at all. He is wrong to sympathise with such. Britain will soon be a boiling pot of many nationalities, all striving to maintain there own ethnic silliness, while britishness is destroyed, which is fair play and democracy. Fair play indeed. That went a long time ago. Everything is corrupt.

he was caught out again just this week publishing inflammatory false stories. It's what he's been doing for 20 years, he ain't going to change. www.bbc.co.uk/news/63806518

I don't understand why he doesn't sod off with his German wife and go to live somewhere like Norway where the risk of overhearing someone speaking Romanian on the train is much reduced. Like many nationalists he never stops talking about what a shithole our great nation has become even when he was on the Brussels gravy train for 20 years living off the money he so resented us British people paying for. What a fucking dick.

What a fucking dick. Just possibly because they separated years ago?

Is it because hes a dick Monte? I Why is he a dick? Hes batting for the English, and were losing, havent you noticed? Your comment about being paid as an MEp is silly isnt it? Are you a globalist, anti brexit red? I suppose all people living here speaking Romanian, Albanian, Ukrainian, Georgian, Chinese, French, Libyan, Nigerian and Icelandic is good. Anything but English. Being english is still racist, while all others dance on our grave, celebrating anything but, while plundering our treasury.
And live in our houses and hotels, catch our fish, etc taking the fucking piss.

Well I suppose if he could have got himself elected here he could have saved the train fare. He's 0 for 7 though so he had to go to Brussels.

The crazy thing with Farage is he does not understand the global economy. He is so preoccupied with his pet subjects that he entirely neglects things like the state of our education and how business is so international these days that you just can't go around saying I will not trade with this country or that country. You will end up broke. He reckons he understands economics as he always lets you know he was once a metal trader, but I just do not see he has any kind of business head on him. To Farage a business is like a pub or a restaurant. Well of course you could get by as a country doing that sort of thing if you want to to be a third world holiday resort, but we don't even have the weather for it. Some of the things the EU has got involved in do make sense like integrated transport infrastructure or the Horizon science funding. Farage really fails in that he lacks solutions.

The nazis did an integrated transport system and science funding too. You are right though, that because of those things, morals, authenticity, standards of behaviour should be ignored. The top thing is profit, development, all else is nonsense.
The solution is to build all things and ignore all else. Trading with the Russians, Saudi, Iran, should be allowed. The French have a free hand to our fish etc. Britain should lower its pants to all. Oh, we have.

As someone regulary noted on the old forum, you do talk some shite.....but you are not alone anmd just to improve your knowledge, Farage, apart from being chairman of Reform UK, isn't substantielly involved with them....yet. And Steve is right to correct the dribblings about Farages wife and the same dribblings about the number of times he didn't win a seat.
