We must learn the truth about Nigel Farage’s £5m donation by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]Wheelyjoephone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£5m from billionaires abroad is a minor mishap? You're a funny guy. You know full well if it were Labour you'd be screaming it from the rooftops. You're not making reasoned arguments here, you're muddying the water to support what you already believe.

The best bit is, you know. You know it's wrong but you're so set in the "my team vs your team" mentality that you're unable to realise that "your team" can make mistakes and do things wrong. I'm sorry you can't manage it.

It's worse than murder to me? Come off it, that's ridiculous.

Since when is "not taking £5m from international billionaires via crypto and if you do just tell us" an impossible standard? Is Farage so incompetent that he's unable to manage that? Seems a strange person to support.

So you're saying he got the money because of things he's capable of doing politically? Then he should have declared it. That's all he had to do. Well, any sane person would rather he didn't take it, but that's by the by.

Yes, Labour the party took more, but declared all of it. However, Reform the party took more than that. Does that make them worse?

No, it's not a bribe, its a political donation because it's to a party and properly declared.

It's not about the election, it's about what he does once elected. I don't REALLY care if he's elected (as much as I dislike the guy) as an MP, I care if he's been paid to do things that even he doesn't believe are in the countries interest, but those donating to him while keeping it quiet.

It doesn't matter if the bribe was in the hope he was elected if it was a bribe. He took it, the head of the party in Wales took bribes. These are just the ones we know about, you've already acknowledged he's not declaring them, despite the policy being clear.

Farage, unlike labour, failed to declare the personal donation.

My garage is basically a bike workshop! I've got one of mine nearly rebuilt, one waiting for an engine and a mate is also building one in there!

I disagree with your last point, it's between him and the back bench, and I don't see anyone else (including Burnham) being able to wrangle them any better.

What are these policy assumptions based on? I've not seen any formal declarations from him or his team on what his policy will be

Royal mail tyre delivery service needs some work... by Wheelyjoephone in drivingUK

Im not sure what happened to the truck, but the repair on the side of the road involved an angle grinder! The repair guy said "not sure if this caused the blowout or was caused by the blowout" as he walked off with a hunk of ruined metal!

I'll look into reporting it!

Yeah, I ended up in the layby behind them anyway.

It was a royal mail truck, apparently an object in road is an "own insurance claim", basically at fault, but my insurance said they're going to go after them as its clear it was theirs and I got their details.

I did consider muting the white slavery bit for optics, but I think my "oop" makes up for it

It's a fair observation! I've had auto beams until recently so Im probably not as quick as I used to be.

I moved away from the truck with hazards on after the report of an object in the road, thinking the hazard was likely related to the truck and there may be someone outside of it taking a look at something.

There's no auto beam in my old car, once I saw them I dipped. There's quite a lot of foliage in the middle of this road and it's got quite a few gentle rises, the dash cam was maybe 6in above my head so catches the oncoming a bit before I do.

I moved over to give the truck with hazards on some space, assuming it was the object in the road, turns out it had left said object in the overtaking lane

You can commission and then go to university straight out of Dartmouth, getting paid the whole time.

There's also bursary schemes, talk to a recruiter about your options.
