I'm trying to post as many times as I can to it because it helps the general forum climb in the Google searches, but in case you don't know, this thread is completely hidden from the general public. If you don't believe me, log out, then log back in again and see if you can find the thread by using the navigation menus and tabs. If you had contributed on the rest of the forum, you would have known that. Nobody can find it unless they know it's here. All your efforts have been completely futile. You're shadow-banned just like Tommy Robinson. How does it feel?

Got you again!

by the way, what do you think if Esther Mc Vey is going to replace May?
McVey announced her interest this morning.
I think it's a bit academic. What will become of the Conservative Party after the next general election? I wonder how the cartoonists are going to depict her? They seem to be struggling with her. I found this one though, which is quite funny.

I think the odds of Tommy winning just increased. Look at his competition!
from that list, my prediction is as follows:

Brexit party: 2
Labour: 2
Conservatives: 1
Greens: 1
Libdems: 1
CHUK or UKIP: 1

The independent candidates may even lose their £5,000 deposit.
There is no chance that TR will beat the conservatives, Greens and Libdems, only a tiny chance against CHUK and UKIP. You may find that even among TR's local supporters, most will go to the pub or stay at home to watch tv rather than voting on the brexit issue.

don't count on Farage's brexit party to do well in the next GE to the detriment of the tories or Labour.

Farage exploits the anger and chaos of brexit. Whichever way you look at him, he may tell a good joke at the pub but until now does not have to build houses, recruit nurses and teachers or even fill your potholes. He is simply a thorn in the side of the tories.

the conservatives will be weakened but may still have enough MPs to stop JC forming the next government.

flecc you misunderstand I meant politicians not saying what they mean
Thanks, I agree. Being so certain Remain would win they threw caution to the wind and came badly unstuck.

What is genuine though is their knowledge of just how bad Leaving without a deal could be, is likely to be, and that scares them. Hence the breach of public trust.

The administrators only did that since pedelecs.co.uk was getting terrible comments from the rest of the cycling media due to this thread dominating New Posts. It was harming this site in the cycling world. Getting hidden from the general public was just an unfortunate by product.

Farage has been an MEP for about 20 years currently on about £84000 per year and I imagine even more expenses. So over that time he has made millions out of the EU. I have no problem with someone being against the EU, but what kind of person spends 20 years in an organisation. Earns millions of pounds from that organisation, all the while doing the organisation down.

If he was an honorable person he would have quite as an MEP years ago, not taken all that money from them and fought against them from the outside. I wouldn't trust the guy as far as I could throw him, damn shame he is such a good con man he has conned millions of people into believing in him.

There is a rumour circulating that he doesn't even like beer, he is really a red wine man. I have no idea if this is true or not or just being spread by his ex mates in UKIP, but that wouldn't surprise me at all. Its just the kind of thing a spiv like him would do.

There was someone talking on the radio a few months ago that was in school with him. He went to one of the top private schools in the country (tends to keep that quiet), he was known at the school as having extremely right wing sympathies, and the person said "and I mean extremely right wing" but did not elaborate on that any further.

Didn't you hear the announcement today. Some of the largest financial backers for the Conservative party are going to switch their funding over to the Brexit party. The Brexit party will become the Conservative party in all but name. We'll have our Brexit, and everybody will be happy except the Labour party, who will all still be arguing over what they stand for.

All the Muslims will vote for the Muslim guy to try and counter TR, so one of those two will get in. Conservatives have got no chance inthe NE.

Unfortunately it will be Boris......It will be a popularity competition and Boris is popular.
I'm not so certain he's retained that popularity, the public are not completely stupid. They've seen how he disappeared when the referendum result was not what he expected. They've seen what a mess he made of the foreign secretary job, quitting at the earliest opportunity. Down here we've seen the ridiculous mess he made as London Mayor, wasting vast sums on silly failing projects.

And the public know that apart from being a failed foreign secretary, he's never held any ministerial post so has no experience in running a department, let alone a national government.

Much of his popularity stemmed from his humorous fooling around, but that ability seems to have deserted him now he's been made to look foolish by his own actions. He's been trying to look a more serious politician, but I don't see anyone buying that. His colleagues certainly haven't.

Nearly all the different politicians have financial backing so that they can push the agendas of their backers when they get elected. They're just mouthpieces.

Yes, but it a good thing. This thread did a lot of harm in the past. Now it's completely harmless. It's just a place where you can let off steam by winding up your mates, where nobody except the few die-hards can see it. I wonder if poor old OG knew that?

In case you didn’t know that, OG, I understand that the Flat Earth Society forum has a good Brexit thread running that's still public.

I guess you'll need to do something more productive with your time now. I'll look out for you at the next TR rally. It would help if you lower your black mask a bit so that I can recognise you. Look out for me. I'm the one with "love" tattooed on my forehead above the words "smash the commy's". Sorry about the apostrophe. It was the tattooist's fault - honestly! I also have all my girlfriends names tattooed on my nose. I never was lucky enough to have a boyfriend like the far right left-wingers do otherwise I'd have tattooed them there too. There's still plenty of room.

we'll see who is more right in 3 weeks.
I wonder if you are going to keep banging the drums for your candidate after the EP election.

don't sell yourself short, nowhere near as much damage as you can do to this thread singlehandedly by promoting the man and not his cause because you know the admins would have to ban you!

Where did the idea come from that you can't see this thread unless logged in, I can read it on multiple devices logged out ?

You are talking rubbish as usual
We are not trying to promote the thread in the manner you describe and if what you claim is true than you too are wasting your time posting about the idiot you admire, aren't you?
