    Green, I've dived and trekked in remote areas and seen first hand the damage done. The lack of will of many national governments to pay much more than lip service means Extinction Revolution is justified. There's action being taken in some countries. It's Reuse, Reduce, Recycle

    <laugh> That will be the party of that true friend of the British working class Nigel Farage, the former commodities broker son of an alcoholic stockbroker, former pupil of Dulwich College, current fees £42,000 p.a. then.

    Yup. Maybe we could play Top Trumps - most privileged politicians. I wonder who wins from Farage, Cable or Corbyn? Would that mean May is supposedly "the true friend of the British working class" seeing as she quite possible had the poorest upbringing of the 4?

    If you honestly think that any tiny part of Farage’s agenda, including Brexshit, is in any tiny way in the best interests of you and your family, then go ahead and vote for the utter ****, but don’t say you weren’t warned.

    Which parts of his manifesto do you agree with?

    And you said you didn't want No Deal Brexit.

    I think, a lot of people will be voting with emotions.
    I doubt manifesto's even come into for the majority.
    All thanks to the incompetent incumbents!

    I upload to an achive website, on radio stuff I don't want to see disappear and that maybe of interest across the world. Part of it includes environmental documentaries. Perhaps you'd like to listen to a few. You can download them or listen online. Here is 3 examples on our use and misuse of plastics and what we can do about it:

    Neither did he want no deal Brexit but that is where we are now. Like me he wanted a deal but not any old deal.

    Manifesto? You've not got the hang of this bit yet! His manifesto is to get out of the EU.........so I agree with the whole manifesto.

    He has already stated there is no policy, just to get out of EU. This is after all a protest against the EU. Ask for a manifesto if/when he fields candidates for a GE.

    But he’s achieved nothing whatsoever in his time as a UKIP MEP, along with his UKIP colleagues. How exactly is becoming an MEP going to achieve Brexit?
