    It doesn't matter then that he continues year after year to take the money?

    Insignificant or significant as a matter of principle? I would say the latter.

    Like so many of these people he plays the system.

    Interesting that at my old job. you odnt even get a biscuit with any meeting drinks anymore... and you only get any refreshments at all if there is someone from outside coming to the meeting..

    I think all public employees should be subject to the same expenses etc etc....

    The money paid to Farage is probably the best value from the vast subsidy that we send them every year. They need to be told what an undemocratic fiddling bunch of fools they are. They have made massive mistakes on currency, security and now wish to create a superstate that hardly anybody in Europe wants. You couldn't make it up.

    I think you are a wind up merchant, SH.

    So this is good hypocrisy? You have to give me a moment to understand this line of thought.

    If the UK votes for Brexit will they follow their previous form and instruct us to vote again until we get the 'correct' result?

    Is your interpretation of a 'wind up' merchant' somebody that disagrees with your point of view?

    If vote is to leave, then I agree that would be a good idea. Your thoughts should be forwarded to the appropriate authority and could bear the moniker 'The Superhorns Second Chance at Common Sense Vote'. :D

    No. It's someone who is intent on division, hopping from one idea to another to get a rise. What joins us though is we are all Hornets.

    I will now leave the obvious inadequacies of the EU to hopefully go to watch the inadequacies of the Arsenal defence, COYH's

    You need to read the thread title, it is all about politics.

    I guess you are getting to know our resident troll ATP....... I now have him on ignored content... he enjoys division and winding people up with inflammatory statements.... normally about any political view which is not right wing Tory.

    Sadly doesnt seem to want to follow any rules of courtesy and then delights pointing the finger at those who respond to him with less than 100% respect seemingly.....

    In all my times on here and on the previous not606 I dont think we have had such behaviour from a so-called hornet supporter

    I think centre politics of yesteryear are now considered left-wing. With such a shift in politics to the right, courtesy of right-wing media efforts for last 30+ years, to call someone a right wing Tory these days, makes him what from yesteryear? <yikes>

    Took me a few minutes to go through, yorkshire. Really interesting when simplified like this.
    w_y, I'm assuming you are from the right of the spectrum? Do you look at this infographic and concur? Just interested. :)

    My position... which is not straightforward .... is that you need all types to make up society.... once cant really exclude another.... although I am a green party member!

    I dabbled with Green Politics because I thought they were closest to my own. Their manifesto certainly made more sense at the last election than anyone else's. I've joined a political party for the first time in my life when Corbyn took charge. I thought I had to vote with my feet (?) and show my support. Apparently, I was not alone.

    Interested to hear more about this pluralist idea. Or should I trawl through 266 pages to find it? :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    I'm guessing someone else on here may be more "line up against a wall" than pluralistic? ;)
