Yep certainly a likeable guy, and he did great for the leave campaign. But I could never support him, dig deep on his liberal outbursts, especially regarding immigration and you will see why.

Hannan is more wishy washy than you might think. He has already betrayed the principle of ending free movement. Don’t trust him at all.

I like young and dynamic, but experience works too for me as well.

True! All they talk about are the ‘hate crimes’

Could the Tories survive a betrayal of the referendum?

UKIP would swamp it in the General election.

Yes, Farage did the impossible and should be mentioned in the same company with Churchill and Thatcher!

And a lot of dopes are falling for it.

One guy is worried about his ‘Lithuanian housekeeper’ who has hurt feelings. I wonder how much he’s paying her, the big lib.

Boris was like Giuliani, when you are the mayor of a Cosmopolitan city, you can only be so conservative.

The problem is as folks flee one country to go work in another, then that country faces a labor shortage and then has to import their own workers. It’s a classic “Domino Effect”.

Poland has replaced all the Poles who left for Britain with Ukrainians.

Its so natural to yearn for a young charismatic leader to emerge and drive forward an agenda - the reality has been, at least in recent times - we have all be severely let down.

Frankly who would want to steer this sinking ship. The Tories have shown themselves barely saner than Labor.

I didn’t know that they are reviewing that election. It would be great if Farage gets another shot at it (although it’s ridiculous that he might have lost two years of his term). Do you think he is most likely to win this time if the election is on the level and after his big Brexit victory?

I don’t think Deutsche Bank or the Italian banks failed at the end of 2016
