Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
How many are linked to Farage in the way you suggest?
What are their names?
What is the exact nature of their relationship with Farage (details of past links) which qualifies them as chums, associates or business acquaintances?
£100 for a preliminary background check is probably about right. It’s also enough to act as an initial filter to prevent millions from just clicking a free, sign me up, button.
Are you waiting for them to do something really horrendous before you wake up to what they are?
Your attempt at smokescreening does you no credit
Read the article again
Do you really need to accept over 3500 applications and keep the proceeds for a few hundred positions?
Now you are being silly, it's a rip off and the accusation of Farages mates getting the MEP jobs came from someone who paid up hoping to be an MEP. not me remember?
However that is a valid point, I shall do a little checking
Have a look at the list of UKIP MEp's (sorry BXP meps) on the chart on this page

I take it your remarks about them not being associates were made in jest

I’m not hearing much outrage from those who feel, “ripped off.” Perhaps they don’t have those feelings.
The bulk of the complaints seem to be coming from those who haven’t paid any money or who haven’t lost anything, but for some reason they feel compelled to get upset on behalf of imaginary people who have suffered an imaginary loss. How queer.
You learn somthing new every day!
Apparently WE can put a man on the moon!
In the Telegraph
Boris Johnson: Ignore the pessimists - if we can put a man on the moon, we can solve the Northern Irish border problem

I guess you didn't read this bit?
"It seemed inevitable that, sooner or later, some of those who had given the party £100 would speak out. This week, that happened and I was approached by a number of individuals who had gone through the process.
And over 3000 people lost £100 each remember?

Somehow they (anyone using this example of technology) always misplay it. I am far more impressed by the fact that they got the men back from the moon.
As expected the Express is printing nonsense
EU panic: Countries trying to woo Boris in desperate bid to avoid no deal Brexit
PANICKING EU countries have been secretly trying to woo Boris Johnson in a bid to thrash out a new Brexit plan that would avoid a no-deal, it emerged yesterday.
Fron the Headquarters of the leave campaign by any chance?

Who are the, “number of individuals” though? How many is “a number?” It’s all very vague and sounds like BS to me.
that scheme worked.
Farage is very clever.
The amount of money raised on false hopes isn't however. and the list of actual BXP MEps is a who's who of UKIP from the past.
Agreed, "never give a sucker an even break" as the saying goes
Andrew Percy , our trade envoy to Canada quit. He was in charge of getting Canada to replicate CETA in the event of no deal.
“Andrew (Percy) warned them back in March, as soon as the UK’s no-deal tariffs were published, that it would mean the Canadians would not go for rolling over the Ceta deal.
“He could see they were getting 95 per cent of what they wanted if a no-deal happened, that the tariffs were better than what is in Ceta – so why would they rush to sign up to what the UK wanted?
One down. Fox has 39 more to go through with the rollover. My guess they'll go the same way, why shouldn't they?
That may also explain why Liam Fox did not support BJ.

What has that got to do with the selection of MP candidates?
This is the problem with you frothing at the mouth remainers. You cannot stick to a rational narrative you come across as howling at the moon.
You mentioned the selection of MPs then went inspector clueso about MEPs. Nuts.
As whoosh said above. The price would no doubt include an enhanced DBS check which costs £70. And someone on their side to process the results. It’s really not rocket science and it’s really not the rise of Hitler.
Can you imagine the uproar if at the next GE one of their candidates was a convicted diddler? You would be howling again that the Brexit party is the party of the nonce.
Calm down dear.
You really are blind to reality aren't you? What gives you confidence the bxp did anything other than pocket the money?
No wonder you voted for brexit
You'd fall for anything, worse you did!
As to frothing at the mouth no one is worse than you, you even ignore the misdeeds of anyone who supports brexit, no matter what they do

I don’t need to. You brought this up. You prove they have done something wrong. You made the allegation. Even if they did pocket the money what have they done wrong?
As per usual you post nonsense I call you out on it. Forensically explain to you how you make your self look a fundamentalist fool and then you say it’s me that said what you said.
You are nuts. You are a like a primary school child when it comes to debating.
I look forward to the insult back, pound to a penny you will use what I said to you. You haven’t got the brains to be original.
Is that the best you can do? Too thick to see the way politics are being subverted, and you call yourself a media man?
Easily conned is a better description
