"I am well....surprised and perhaps disappointed that the "Leavers" in the Tory Party are not being a lot louder than they are. Yes, sure Peter Bone saying things, we've got Jacob Rees-Mogg saying things but too few of them in my view are saying very much cause they don't want to cause problems for the party cause might let Labor in.
And we get back to the same thing that dominates British politics. We have to support this party cause we hate the other one a little bit more. Makes it very, very difficult to get genuine change in this country."
The Nigel Farage Show-December 17th, 2017
I used to think Talk Radio was so great in this country but now I realize in the end it fronts for the Republican Establishment dropping bombs on the Democrats almost all the time while spending a few seconds baiting you with criticism of RINO's or Trump Haters in the GOP.
They want you to hate the Democrats so much you'll vote RINO (95 plus percent of all GOP candidates and elected officials in office now)
And big government continues with trimming of taxes or trimming of spending around the edges, but not real deep, meaningful change.
We keep moving in the wrong direction.
I scratched my head recently when I heard Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke proclaim a great victory for President Trump with a decision to create smaller "national monuments" on Western land than Barack Obama intended to, further crushing the farmers and ranchers ability to use Western land but on a smaller scale than the "Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, Obama Democrats" as GOP propagandists write the script-talking points for Fox News, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck etc. etc. etc.
A short Bunkerville related note here. Cliven Bundy's problems with the federal government run back to the days of the first Bush presidency and in 2008 while W Bush was in office, the Bureau of Land Management was actively working to take away his water rights on the grazing land.
That's why I listen to Nigel Farage a lot more than the fake "Conservative Media" fronting for the GOP or the Democrat fronting CNN, MSNBC and other "Mainstream Media".
Real change comes from a third direction, from folks like Farage who used to lead a third political force, UKIP, and who campaigned for Brexit which won last year, now being undermined by the "Conservative Party" and their "Fexit" that is undermining the intention of the voters.
Nigel operates under "Fairness Doctrine" type restrictions in the UK, but he gets his opinion in just like those famous 1970's hosts did on radio here in the USA (Bob Grant, Ray Briem, Barry Farber etc.)
Farage is a third force (or in his country a fourth since there are 3 Uniparties) outside the Uniparty echo chamber and Nigel supported Donald Trump, another third force.
So give Nigel's show a listen through these videos on the "Orion Prime" account on You Tube.
Its way past time to get out of the Republican versus Democrat ghetto and put the right thing to do ahead of "us versus them".
He is on LBC Radio from London 97.3 Monday thru Thursday 7 to 9 pm with his show resuming next year. He also does a Sunday show 10 am to 12 Noon.
Funny, some neverTrump “conservatives” claim we shouldn’t listen to Nigel Farage because he is a liberal.
The GOP Establishment doesn’t like the truth floating around in our heads.
They need mind numbed robots to follow them.
Sit down and watch Fox News.....sarc.
“Talk Radio” is actually philosophical radio. That is, in order to project the image of being fair-minded, the host of a talk radio program must accept calls from opposing viewpoints, and treat the callers with some respect. Failure to take on opposing viewpoints would be a “dog that doesn’t bark” - and the audience would not in the long run be particularly interested.Mere cynicism towards society, with concomitant naiveté towards government, is not particularly interesting. Any talk radio host whose perspective boils down to that is not competitive with a host whose perspective is a more nuanced skepticism towards both society and government
. . . which is just another way of saying that “liberal” talk show hosts cannot compete with “conservative” ones.
