    If I could turn back time
    If I could find a way I'd take back those votes that hurt us and we’d stay

    UKIP set out their stall when they involved Robinson. Farage has, as you say, rightly distanced from them and his campaign is focused on achieving a Brexit free of enduring EU legal ties.

    I find it a little irksome to be branded a Nazi, when most of my father's family was murdered by them, just because I believe very strongly in Brexit. You're a class act, @davidlammy

    Absolutely.
    UKIP were always a mixture of genuine people that just wanted to leave the EU and far more extreme racists.
    It now appears to be mainly the latter.

    Farage has, as you say, distanced himself from them and I expect his new party to be incredibly popular.

    Well that’s a self obsessed clever sign
    Democracy will win through in the end either way especially after such a narrow vote way back in 2016 ... just to think people thought that way back then ?

    Farage I agree will be popular but hopefully nowhere near enough ... how many of the 16m votes he will turn is doubtful

    Well let's hope he's constantly reminded that he campaigned for a soft 'Norway' arrangement.

    The Government is considering an overhaul of rules for Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, a week after targeting social media companies with strict new penalties.
    The Daily Telegraph understands that the Department for Culture, Media and Sport is looking at whether rules for on-demand video streaming sites should be brought in line with those which apply to traditional broadcasters as part of its digital charter.
    Separately, the influential DCMS select committee, the parliamentary body headed up by Damian Collins MP, may also “do something” in this area this year, sources familiar with the matter said.
    Internet companies have been subject to significant scrutiny in the UK, with regulation recently...

    Norway don't want us. They think our Parliament is unreliable. Perhaps a UK tailored option with a time limited Irish backstop. Our politics is being Balkanised. Farage could just end up with the biggest piece.

    You can't time limit a back stop. All of these so-called 'solutions', including No Deal, fail to satisfactorily address the Irish border issue.

    Irrelevant. We are not joining Norway’s club, we would be negotiating a deal which is similar (but probably better, we have more clout) to Norway’s. No way is the EU going to say ‘you can’t have a deal like Norway’s, because it might upset the Norwegians’. If those big blond ****ers don’t like it, bad luck, go play with your sovereign wealth fund.

    The alternative is no deal, where there's nothing to backstop. The UK won't put up a hard border in that event.
