| Don't look here, look over there 09:46 - May 25 with 7259 views | StokieBlue | Farage claiming that the source of the leak about his 5m gift was Russian hacking. Whilst that is far from ideal given his public status at the moment, there doesn't seem to be any evidence and surely it is totally irrelevant? The issue is he wasn't going to declare the gift/donation (depending on whom in Reform is answering) so why is he pushing the Russian hack angle as if it makes a difference? https://www.theguardian.com/po SB |  |

He's the Paul Lambert of politicians. What he actually serves up is pretty poor stuff, but he talks a good game for the easily fooled. |  |

You're right, it's 9.45am, time for a coffee, check work and decide where to go to enjoy the sun. Thanks for your contribution though, it's absolutely not trying to start arguments and absolutely not a continuation of your less that stellar return. SB |  |

I think Phil would say you are the problem not me. You didn't need to come into this thread at all having a pop at people, you could have ignored it completely. The discussion on here has always been broad, you know that from your previous times posting here. You're just looking to start arguments, that last line is totally uncalled for. Shouldn't you be out in the sun, not posting pops at people at 11am on a bank holiday? SB |  |

As soon as I posted I knew that’s what your reply would be It’s just predictable At least you can turn to your wife and say “ I posted about Farage again” And she’ll say “ well done dear” Try and be a bit more creative |  |

So the reply to every reply pointing out your hypocrisy is to say how obvious and move on? This board has become very political but I suspect that's because politics has become a complete mess in recent years and is getting quite scary in some ways. Ashton made sure it even crossed over with our football club, which was nice of him. But there are ways of filtering the board to talk about football. You mock, but it's a perfectly valid reply to say to ignore things you aren't interested in rather than get involved pretending you don't want to get involved. |  | |  |

Here’s the thing I’m no fan of Farage at all, He’s the same as the rest, Part of the establishment Farage is a chancer, Tory 2.0 The whole thing is just tedious, you hear and see his name everywhere Even on a bank holiday I’m off out now, have fun agreeing with each other |  |

He's done exactly what Farage would have wanted though. Totally derailed the thread with insults and personal attacks so the actual content of what Farage has done has been relatively ignored. SB |  |

I'm reluctant to derail the thread any more than it has been already, but didn't you post just after the local elections that you were hoping people would eventually jump ship from Reform to Restore? So maybe more of a Rupert Lowe fan than Farage? No problem with that of course. Your choice is your choice. Just interested where you and your politics sit. |  |

the party of rupert lowe, tory 2.0, part of the 1%, establishment as you get. his only purpose with his theories of remigration, is to make extremists like farage look electable. wouldn't be surprised if farage paid him to carry on! |  |

| Don't look here, look over there on 12:54 - May 25 with 2474 views | Swansea_Blue | Er, getting back on track. Yeah it’s a stupid attempt at distraction from Farage but not surprising. This is what he and others like him do though innit; create a false narrative to get everyone talking about that instead. Straight out of the Trump playbook, who does it far better than Farage. As you say, it makes no odds to the original issue of him not declaring the £5m. It’s obviously hitting a nerve with Farage though, as I’d have thought he’d be better off pushing the line it was just a personal gift. There’s nothing in the rules against that as far as I’m aware. It must hurt his man of the people schtick for people to be reminded he’s bankrolled by offshore billionaires, or something. Besides, his people have been paid by Russia and Farage/Reform still promote Russia’s interests, even if indirectly now. Russia wouldn’t look to unnerve him, as he’s great for them. |  |

No one makes personal gifts of £5m to people who arent't very very close indeed. The allowance in the rule of personal gifts is so that Christmas presents etc dont get caught. The payment is overtly political and he has already admitted that. I would hope and expect the book to be thrown at him. A suspenion big enough for a recall is on the cards imo. |  |
