Reform/Farage

He's German?

I think it possible that the original post is an attempt at humour

It's a typical anti-Farage smear.

The Left are getting extremely worried about Farage.

Any way to discredit him. make him look fake, or unpatriotic or a con artist will be used.

Just understand it for what it is.

Just like the ’pro immigrant’ protesters who were escorted by the police to confront the peaceful protesters of Epping by shouting Racist! and Far Right! at them to try and goad them into retaliating.

The suspicion is that because the good people of Epping failed to respond in the manner intended, agents-provocateurs infiltrated the Epping side, and were later extracted by the police.

The police originally denied bussing people away, but had to eat s***t when a video emerged of big strapping men in civvies climbing aboard police vans, leading to what has been described as a ’twenty-minute bloviating word salad’ by the Chief Constable, who, also wearing his woodentop as National Police Lead on Public Order, totally denied any need for him to examine the operation in any way.

Aren’t they just. Stand by for three and a half years of increasingly dirty tricks.

Standard Marxist tactics.

Quite so.

Yes, I saw it somewhere else yesterday.

Exactly.

I am not, and never have been, a Farage supporter.

But I still see the current lefty efforts to disparage [disfarage?] him for what they are (well-described above by the PP).

You mean like his promise reform would cut waste in local councils, yet have failed to find any waste in any of the councils they control, and admit council tax will rise at close to the maximum rates.

total windbag like every other politician.

I do expect them to win seats though, but solve the problems of the country, unlikely...

I think you will find they have been fairly successful at that, despite what their opponents says.

I suppose the proof of the pudding will come when the council tax rates rates are announced.

I spoke with a few Green councillors recently, who are about as close to 'left' as you're going to get in mainstream politics, and they weren't too concerned. IMO they should be.

The PLP isn't 'left', although a few MPs might well qualify.

Not Marxist. Marxism is only ever a theory. For people who've done things in the name of Marxism this is a good guide:

He doesn't need anyone to discredit him - he haas managed that all on his own with dodgy house purchases, shilling for the Russians and associating with foreign citizens formenting unrest in the UK.

Why gild the lily.

He's free to sue me if he wants. Eternal September know where to find me.

he is, in fact, a very naughy boy.

It's what is technically known as 'a joke'.

Or when the potholes are fixed, and you dont get council paid for advertiising for solar panels in your letter box.

Sadly not even that.

Yes.

"Things seem pretty bad at the moment - so let's make it all a dozen times worse!"

Rabble-rousing retoric: "Down with the government!" is easy to do, but is no qualification for being able to govern.

Is there a term to describe a particularly lame joke?

My wife's grandfather was a bit of a war hero, and had an Iron Cross. Funny how immigration changes things.

Well the labour party has been doing that for years. It's only fair....

But of course as BBC watching guardian reader you wont have been told all that
