You are forgetting Farages very forgiving stance on blatant and repeated racism within his party even today he is in the news again passing racist comments off as a 'joke'..... yes, it's funny if you're a fan of bigoted 70's sitcoms maybe?

Anyone has the right to speak as and when they like against things that infringe or damage our civil liberties, the purpose of a democracy is to listen and act according to the will of the majority of the voting electorate who have cast their vote on the strength of your promises via a manifesto.... Does this happen?....no!
Politicians lie through their back teeth to get in and once in do what the eff they like, so if they can't play by the rule why the hell should anyone else?.....

Well said and had the Conservatives been in govt; the crisis could have been even worse since they under Cameron's leadership would have regulated the banks 'less' not more.

Anyone who believes that a Conservative govt; faced with a run on the banks,that they then wouldn't have bailed out the banks too as Labour decided they had to,are fooling themselves.
It may have even meant with less regulation of the banks that even more could have been needed to do so.

Farage also does invite problems, 'again I abhor the attacks on him out with his family',he does however make really stupid comments that can also inflame and invite prejudice.
He even blamed immigration for being late for a meeting in Wales a short while ago.

Perhaps were he more consistent or really revealed his true thinking,then he would either be seen for the danger he is in politics,or as I have chosen to do as to him,be dismissed as irrelevant.
