    Yeah Boris is great for pushing for this massive house building around London. It will be good for everyone, more jobs more infrustructure lower house prices due to added supply.

    Nige also is always on the ball, he has constantly disagreed with those who said gold was in a bubble all the way up, he says its so obvious the bubble is in fiat currencies and not gold. The bubble is getting bigger as the gloabal race to debase turns up the currency expansion.


    Nigel Farrage was a gold trader for decades so he obviously has vested interests there.

    I had you down as more intelligent that that Bogo. I don't suppose it would have anything at all to do with the fact that UKIP are growing in popularity - and someone feels the need for some underhand tactics?

    Methinks there is a lot more to this story than is being revealed.

    I said quite a while ago that I was going to turn to UKIP to upset the apple cart, just to have the usual suspects on here having a pop.
    I am naturally a left of centre type of bloke that has in the past(and still do slightly) had time for a lot of socialism, more of your Alan Bleasdale though than Lennin.

    But politics stopped talking to me personally when John Smith died, and as much as I prayed for her downfall at least with Maragret Thatcher you got want it said on the tin love her or hate her.

    Politicians from all parties today sing from the same song sheet, they will stop you in the street "Mm Mm yes yes" and then go and do whatever they ******* want.

    Nigel Farrage as appealing and likable will not form a Government, but it is an opportunity at last for people to shout "You are not listening, and now I have given up on you and going to make you pay"

    Eastleigh will be interesting, and the Europeans even more so, and I think as a general election creeps up Mr David Cameron will have to cosy up a lot more to Nige than Nick.

    Agreed..UKIP was only ever going to be a protest vote and it seems to have ruffled a few feathers, more so with Farage on QT stirring things up. :T
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:

    I haven't heard much regarding Nigel Farage but after watching this he certainly seems to have a talent for public speaking, but public speaking that can make you sit and listen whether you agree with him or not, I find him quite interesting to listen to.

    Human right activists will be up in arms about that one. I think many have forgotten that alcohol, cigarettes and Sky TV are luxuries.

    If what he says is of interest to you - you should have a look at his appearance at the UKIP spring conference;
