Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[bemused]

He'll take the £100 hand out seats and give them no support to run. Suckers.

Not to mention red action

If I was ex-red action etc I'd be complaining to farage about this preferential treatment for antifa

 

[killer b]

not a hope in fucking hell of ever getting elected.

I don't think this is true anymore. UKIP came second in a shitload of seats in 2015, and Europe as a wedge issue has only gotten bigger since then. With the right wind behind them there's every chance the Brexit party will get some seats next time.

There'll be a right wind behind them as farage and his cronies have long been known for their flatulence

 

[killer b]

He should probably be known for the danger he poses politically tbh. Hasn't the last few years demonstrated it's probably time to stop laughing at him?

 

[Ranbay]

£20 says he disbands the Brexit party once we leave, saying his job is done.

No

When did people stop taking the piss out of Hitler? Er they didn't. So why should people stop laughing at nf?

 

[treelover]

Apparnetly Jeremy Dellar is doing something on Brexit, etc, been 'filming right wing protests' in London, etc.

Nah, he's explicitly positioned the party so whatever fudge is eventually landed on his party laps up the discontents.

Just got this through post. Addressed to me!!!

Nice to see property dealer there.

I think it's possible to laugh at aspects of Farage's behaviour and also recognise that he has had, and will likely continue to have, some success in using some of the existing political disillusion many people are feeling.

The idea that this £100 administrative fee for potential candidates is simply a scam to rinse money from the gullible is pretty silly though, even if I suspect that very few if any will actual be elected as MPs come the next GE.

How much do other parties charge?

Bang on, its all festival, stunts, etc, better than the ANL lollipops I suppose.

what are you on about.

I have no idea, never having found it necessary to investigate the process of becoming a parliamentary candidate myself, but most other parties have an income stream through membership fees which the Brexit party doesn't (yet) have.

Are you suggesting that those membership fees are simply a scam?

Becuse he is very insightful, his reconstruction on Orgreave was spot on, though the luvvies from the London Arts Scene weren't, but he took the ex mining community with him.

I think if he does something from the Brexit perspective, it will help illuminate the issues.

Yes

The nature of the opposition to him

Oh, ok. I dunno about that. Not seen that many anti-farage festivals tbh. Must be missing out.

two posts apart.

fwiw I like Jeremy Deller, but then I also think festivals and stunts have a place in political campaigning

(although his previous brexit related work is somewhat lacking in subtlety)

Yep, dependent on the timing of the eventual GE & the degree to which the Tories (& Labour now; the fools) are seen to have failed to deliver...it's not too difficult to imagine the Brexit party winning some seats.

 

[treelover]

Apparently one of the Brexit Party candidates is Henrik Overgaard-Nielsen, A Danish national and a NHS Dentist, he says he is a socialist and a trade union representative

Be interested to see why he has thrown in his lot with Falange.

Did you look here?

 

[treelover]

Yes, he hardly mentions Farage,

 

[brogdale]

What?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Yes

If he finds one prat for every seat that’s £65k in total, less expenses, hardly Bernie Madoff...

They'll be going strong for years then?
