Petition to get Nigel Farage onto the EU Referendum Debate

[Mull]

If he's strong willed, determined, and sticks to his principles, might that not point to the fact that he's actually NOT a prick?

 

 

 

Those seem like fairly worthy (and increasingly rare!) attributes to me.

 

Of course, it would depend on what kind of principles he had surely?

 

I would agree most if em lie like dormant sphylys!

 

 

Lol, "dormant syphilis"

Cracker!!

I hope my kindred Scott's Irish n English cousins are curious about the latest Panama Papers developments, as I am?

 

I can see why Brexit's gaining popularity in the UK when stuff like this comes to light.

There are about 8 million foreigners living in the UK. I would say that’s quite a lot…

 

50% of Muslim men are unemployed. 75% of Muslim women are unemployed…..

 

Migrants cost the UK taxpayer £120 billion between 1995 and 2011….

Britain's coping classes at breaking point - Telegraph

 

Immigration from outside Europe 'cost £120 billion' - Telegraph

 

there are many conflicting figures out there, who knows which set are closest to the truth, certainly not the governments, or any of the pro tory pro labour tabloids, obviously different parts of the country have varying levels of immigrants, personally the majority living in my area have jobs and work as hard as anyone, whereas my village is coming down with homegrown lazy bar stewards who never worked a day in their life, claim DLA and every other benefit, and drive better cars than me. As I said before the problem isn't the immigrants, its the benefits system.

 

Not sure from what you've written how much of the case you're presenting is consequential to your recent diversity training?

 

Diversity & Equality and immigration policy are 2 fairly distinct and separate subjects. If the majority of your diversity training was given over to discussing immigration it might be worth questioning the value and delivery of the training?

 

I believe the training was fair and non biased, its relevance to this thread was not in the facts and figures, but our mislead perception of the current situation which politicians including Farage use to launch their own agendas. Basic fear mongering.

 

If he's strong willed, determined, and sticks to his principles, might that not point to the fact that he's actually NOT a prick?

Yeah Hitler, Stalin, Sadam, and Bin Ladin were strong willed, determined, and stuck to their principles, nice bunch of lads in hindsight:thumbup:

I cannot think why we need a petition for Farage when there already has been a fair debate on April 26th organised by the Spectator and Andrew Neill, at the London Palladium, in front of a large audience.

With Chuka Umunna, Liz Kendall and Nick Clegg speaking on why we should remain and Kate Hoey, Nigel Farage and Daniel Hannan speaking on why we should leave.

 

It was very clear that the reasons to remain were weak and the reasons to leave were strong, vindicated by the audience response at the end which showed a very strong desire to leave having heard the arguments.

 

Liz Kendall was left speechless a couple of times. Andrew Neill conducted the whole debate in a very fair manner, much better than say Dimbleby.

 

It is an hour and a half but covers most of the discussion on both this thread and the Brexit thread.

So make yourselves a large cup of tea and have a supply of your favourite biccies at hand!
