    My lad has just turned 14. We took him out of school at the beginning of the year. It was just letting him down. We home school him. He has an english and maths tutor at a combined price of 120 quid per week. He is absolutely flying in these subjects with one on one tuition. It's a big hit for us to our purse strings but only temporary. He was bottom set for both in school who really didnt give a ****.

    To be fair to Nige, hes just the front man, the face. The money men tell him what to do and when. He will be told to stand other candidates down and will suddenly tell us that the Borisov brexit is infact brexit after all. The pure hypocrisy of it all is frightening.

    Just read this, I thought Banks would make this move. It really has nothing to do with Farage. Borisovs deal was crap only 2 weeks ago and suddenly, miraculously, it's not. I do wonder how much Banks is in line to make from this? This country really disgusts me at the moment.

    It’s surprisingly common, Bob. Glad to hear he’s doing well. My missus was a teacher and left that to start what has become a very good business initially home schooling and now all sorts of education and subjects. She’s even roped me in to teach a bit of maths which I enjoy doing the odd hour here and there.

    Teaching is another profession where you get paid **** all when you look at the real hourly rate.

    It's becoming more popular. School with classes of 30 plus and a supply teacher every other lesson was becoming a joke. The stuff he is doing at the moment is unbelievably a massive improvement he was doing 7 gcse and would be lucky to have scrapped through them. Now hes doing 3 and looking at top grades. 3 hours of one on one work in english, no distractions is like a whole term at school where he may be lucky to get 10 minutes of the teachers attention.

    Serves them right. For the 300 odd poor mugs that have been stood down it's a lot more, one was complaining yesterday he'd hired a campaign manager on a two month contract plus he's got a shed load of leaflets, reckons it will be thousands...

    I heard that the bloke who had supposedly waxed 10 large might have been made up but not sure, never the less Farage has a bit of a track record of obtaining money from his followers in so many different ways, he's a conman plain and simple, shouting from the sidelines, looking for people to blame and offering things he knows dam well he can't implement (and would never be in a position to do so). He uses emotive language and promotional materials, lying his arse off repeatedly including in the promotional material. I can't help feel he has taken advantage of people so want to have sympathy for them.

    However I've tried to discuss issues with Brexit Party supporters I know but they have absolutely no interest in facts, statistics, future projections but sadly in my experience (not saying this is the same for all) there is no interest or valid counter points, just crap like 'you lost get over it' 'just want brexit to be done' 'what do experts know' and if you prove beyond any doubt 'well they're all liars' as if it doesn't matter that they have been proved to have believed in nonsense ... This leaves no room for any discussion. Again I will reiterate this is just my experience and I'm not saying everyone is like this!

    Don't think history will reflect well on him, a lot of people can see what he is doing now, some don't or choose to ignore it. I have **** all sympathy for the ****, just another one who is bullshitting 'the people' to make a big stack of cash, zero morality. I find the way he so openly rips off Nigel's common men and women astonishing it will be interesting to see if their is a backlash with the latest and now as it's clear he is selling out what he sold them, after the referendum, on what Brexit is.

    There wont be a backlash. People are thick! They believe slogans rather than facts. You could tell them that they could lose their jobs or be 10 grand a year worse off but they would still say 'we need to get brexit done'. Simple twats

    Like lying down on a slightly softer mattress as they prepare to administer the next dose.

    The simple fact is, Nigel is the face and frontman for Banks and co. I thought that was common knowledge. He will do as they instruct him like any loyal employee should.
