Gordon R Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 I had reservations about Boris and, although I like Nigel, there were always niggling doubts. Since Boris got the top job, he has proved to be better than I imagined and Nigel has done the right thing. Shame on the knockers, who doubted Nigel.

If the Tory’s can’t win such a seat, would it not be tactically better for the Tory’s to stand aside and let the BP candidate hopefully, get all the leave votes? Absolutely yes, NF has done his bit, saying he won't go against Tories seats, now Boris needs to do likewise in areas they won't get in.

Not going to happen though , the Conservatives will stand candidates everywhere. If they don't it's like accepting defeat or saying we know we can't win and need a coalition. Frustrating, but it's what will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) I'd have preferred Farage to only stand aside where leaver Tory MP's won seats - and not where remain Tories won. Edited November 11, 2019 by Dave-G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 BBC Breakfast have just given Angela Rayner, a female Labour MP the chance to decry the Brexit Party decision to work with the Conservatives. She really was up for it, banging on about Nigel Farage must want a knighthood. Then she started spouting how a vote for anything other than Labour would somehow lead to Nigel Farage, Donald Trump and Boris Johnson ruling the world. How does anyone vote for someone like her?

Don't misquote her, farage was saying to the press he was offered a peerage 48 hrs before his turn around and she was just repeating that, not that he must want a knighthood!

He 'admitted it' but he's lying? Or no 10 denied it, but they're lying? Who is lying, and who actually cares whether he gets a peerage or not? Unless of course you are of the SJW type with too much spare time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a leave area, with (lately) a safe labour hold. Have concessions unofficially been made between Boris and Nigel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Boris got the top job, he has proved to be better than I imagined and Nigel has done the right thing. Shame on the knockers, who doubted Nigel. I agree wholeheartedly. Nigel has said from the start that if Boris gave a solid promise to do what he has now done he would pull candidates off Tory seats. NOW all they need to do is hold Boris's feet to the fire. To be fair Boris put forward a deal/treatty call it what you will which could have been sorted by the 31st October but the traiterous remainers skuppered that but of course The Guardian readers et al are ignoring that as they are trying to suggest Nigel has bottled it. My wife put it in a nutshell, she said the kids in the playground at her school are better behaved and more honest than any of them in Westminster.

Strangely TC didn`t mention that she was talking about investment in people in the UK by giving people access to 6 years of free education rather than the short term outlook of the cons of allowing those with the skills into the UK, which blocks people from the UK achieving their potential.
