Short summary was that Farage used an expensive legal eagle to withdraw the whip from Rupert Lowe … I think Friday afternoon, that can be checked. Just as in the U.S., they found two birds to allege highhanded impropriety in order to stop Lowe’s popularity. However, it’s far more than that …
The one alleging, sending the highhanded letter to Rupert was this Zia character who’d been parachuted into the chairmanship unelected … check out his bio on Wiki. Rupert, being a British farmer, is of that stock … and therein lies the true issue here.
A dissenting opinion is Tice’s Arab-country-residing honey:
That had been my view of it all at first … to somehow hold it all together for the sake of all the footslogging Reform soldiers … but the depth of feeling is quite intense across the membership and Farage’s and Anderson’s move, at the wormtonguing of this Zia moneybags, has disgusted much of the rank and file.
It’s true that X is but one platform but it’s the main one used by Reform members, seen by millions, inc. Donny and Elon. Here are some other comments:
Dismay on our part? Methinks it’s better to have this out now … I’d suggest the teal colours of TBP to the light blue … the name of the new party whatever.
Now, apparently there’s also a Homeland Party, a Heritage Party and the controlled opp UKIP rump … what will they do?
I think Mr Farage is part of the problem rather than the solution.
ReplyDeleteHow many political parties must he destroy before more of us realise that?
Our country is being led to destruction by the Labour and Conservative parties and he uses the same heavy handed methods they use to attack people with different opinions from him.
Maybe Elon Musk is correct in his assessment of Mr Farage.
Didn't I comment a while ago that Farage had been given "the talk"? The one that says the UK is owned lock stock and barrel by Gulf States and that anti-Islamic rhetoric is not allowed or else the economy will be collapsed? I said that after his interview where he wobbled on deporting immigrants.
ReplyDeleteHaving Islamic backers is also a bit of an issue given the immigration and integration issue is almost entirely an Islamic one.
If Reform falls, then I can only foresee a more radical and extreme replacement. It has to be in order to survive the political environment.
You did indeed, Mark, and I’m going to add your comment over our way this morning too.
DeleteThanks James. Its not widely understood, but when Gulf states hold around 10-20% of your economy: shares, loans, infrastructure, housing, etc. and have the ability and the will to withdraw all of that money immediately, they have a lot of influence on national politics. When it's pointed out quietly, not to rock the boat, otherwise the money will be withdrawn... you start to understand why the things that are happening er, happen.
