    New trading partner. Apparently Nigel Farage has had secret meeting with him.

    Farage is currently considering reducing his parliamentary hopefuls so they don't dilute the Tory vote, but contest Labour seats where Tory victory is unlikely.

    As to your other comments, there's nothing illegal in such a deal and those that would support it are Brexiters. Others have the right to vote Lib Dem and try to revoke. Or go on Corbyn's magical mystery tour.

    How do you know at the point of entry who is coming with the aim of claiming social security ? With so many EU citizens not having passports, it's difficult to put an entry stamp onto an ID card - so how can you check how long EU citizens have been in the country ? You can prevent them from claiming social security but that is quite another thing well away from the border itself. I do not understand what the fuss is all about. When you move to Germany you have to register with the local authorities (also when you move to a new area) where you get an Anmeldebestätigung (certification that you have done so). Without this it is impossible to open a bank account or health insurance - without a bank account you cannot get a job in Germany. If you have not worked and paid into the system you cannot claim social security benefits for a certain period (not sure how long). The problem is with Britain that people think the chances of picking up semi legal cash in hand jobs is higher there - and that is the case. Even unemployment money in Germany is transferred direct onto your bank account. All of the means to reduce unwanted immigration are there already Goldie, without leaving the EU to do it. You can deport known criminals, and also ask people to leave if they have no obvious means of subsistence.

    My facebook has been flooded with these 'Tactical voting things' for remainers. There is nothing wrong with helping other parties out. It's called cross party cooperation. :emoticon-0100-smile
    We always knew that this would be the case with the Brexit party and why not do it. It makes sense for Brexitiers.

    America is our closest allies Watford. No one had a problem when Obama was in office. It's just a Trump thing. People need to move on from this as well because he will be getting re elected again.

    Farage is on LBC from 6-7. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say?

    They were all leavers apparently. Dismayed and furious that he broke his promise to them!

    Did Farage have secret meetings with Obama?

    Maybe it’ll be eighth time lucky for him if they can find a **** enough area that might just have enough Christmas turkeys to vote for him to represent them for five years. My money would be on Stoke.

    I think he will win a seat. Last week I heard one commentator saying he was very popular in some place where he had a rally. I think people will be surprised with the Brexit party gains.

    Bob you never learn unless you take in all sides of the argument. You never know, if you listen you might post something of interest?

    Hitler was popular at rallies too. I hope he adequately represents the good working class folk of ****ville.

    Farage appeals to the racist people of the country more than anyone else. It's actually good news to see trump conversing with farage. It will open a lot of peoples eyes.
