Who would you rather have a pint with Nigel Farage or Jean-Claude Juncker?

Yes, the ''glassing'' him fantasies are particularly disturbing. Must be 2 or 3 so far, and each one made me do a WTF.

If it were said about a liberal man though - fascism.
And a liberal woman? Misogyny.

Hey, it's AH, it's all light-hearted. Do you think anyone here who has said it, would actually assault him if they were face to face? Of course not.

And it's not about opinions, it's about actions. Farage is a scumbag. He has demonstrated that continually. He has been campaigning for years to drive political policies that will personally enrich him, to the cost of others.

Well I know I would have gotten an outright ban for saying I would ''glass'' anyone whose opinions I unpopularly disagree with, and Lord knows there are many, so it seems quite jarring (if that's not a loose pun too far). Glassing is horrific, reads like gutting or stabbing or lynching. Meh, what do I know, maybe it's a fashionable thing to say....

I like the way you say things here that have also occurred to me, Gimme, that I don't have the guts to say.

Here you are... The "anti democratic guff"

On Greece's economic meltdown in 2011
"When it becomes serious, you have to lie.

On EU monetary policy
"I'm ready to be insulted as being insufficiently democratic, but I want to be serious ... I am for secret, dark debates"

On British calls for a referendum over Lisbon Treaty
“Of course there will be transfers of sovereignty. But would I be intelligent to draw the attention of public opinion to this fact?,”

On French referendum over EU constitution
“If it's a Yes, we will say 'on we go', and if it's a No we will say 'we continue’,”

On the introduction of the euro
"We decide on something, leave it lying around, and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back."

On eurozone economic policy and democracy
“We all know what to do, we just don't know how to get re-elected after we've done it”



Yeah it must be a bottle of sciatica that makes him stumble around like he **** himself..

Hah, cheers Z.

You know, there were people shouting at JRM's children over their father. You read that correctly. He's an old skool conservative - so? What crime is he committing? Is he abusing people? Disagree with him, fine - I disagree with him. But what's the personal abuse about? From adults like

And e.g. "I'd glass a trans athlete" would guarantee a ban. It certainly, and rightly, wouldn't be viewed as "light-hearted".

Yeah, it was. A British media dominated by a small, unelected oligarchy of ultrarich Tories, and a political class which supports an unelected House of Lords, unelected Head of State and a huge plethora of other political positions held by an unelected elite in a society where the permanent government, the civil service, is full to the rafters with a self-appointed elite from Cambridge/Oxford/Eton/Harrow etc. Now and again they might allow a token pleb with a rough accent from a polytechnic in to give the appearance of inclusivity.

And then the same Tory/UKIP Brexiteers turn around and give out about EU institutions being "undemocratic". Get off the stage with that plebeian drivel from the same propaganda mouthpieces of the above elite.

The benighted morons in working class England who voted for Brexit are the same class of British society who have been screwed over by the very same globalisation-pushing, low-taxation-for-the-rich, bring-in-immigrants-to-make-labour-costs-cheaper, Tory class that are now putting themselves forward as great defenders of what they term "the UK" (i.e. England and their control of it). Poor English people who voted for Brexit and who support the Farage, Rees-Mogg and Johnson types are the most duped section of all the duped sections in European society.

Apologists for crude toxic rubbish like that will try to tell you that, because 'it's AH, it's all light-hearted'.

But 'comedy failure', is the least of the objections to be made about it.

Really disgraceful comments, from sore losers who would love to have it in them to say, much less do those things face to face.

No no, he's a monstrous human being. He barely only qualifies for the latter two words due to biology.

When someone spends their entire political life pushing a entire country towards economic suicide, getting paid for doing so, investing his assets in such a way that they are best placed to profit from the economic collapse, ensuring his children have economic protections that others don't, and completely fabricating everything that he says on the topic to ensure maximum damage, then there's not really any word too harsh for him. He is literally deliberately attempting to create misery, and then profit from that misery.

Farage and Piers "I hack dead children's voicemail for profit" Morgan are two of the vilest examples of modern human beings.

Why are "be tolerant and open-minded" folk often so spiteful?

AllForIt

Farage. He is quite funny sometimes and that's the type of person you'd like to have in a pub situation. Plus, I'd like to know what he's 'really' like personally. You'd imagine he's not particularly PC about ppl but what I would like to know is he actually a horrible person deep down. I'm not saying I think he is but he's just so clever if he was he would be capable of hiding it. When he castigated UKIP for employing Tommy Robertson as an advisor I wasn't sure if he did this to make himself look good or if he genuinely meant it.

Farage's entire political career has been based on opportunism and fear-mongering. On what grounds should people, based on what they've seen of him over the last decade or so, 'tolerate' him? Should they retain an open mind, based on the idea that he might, some day, see the light and cease to be a terrible person?

Why the expectation that anyone should 'be tolerant and open-minded' about such a consistently malign figure?

While with Juncker you'd get the impression the night would end up with a bevvy of scantily clad call-girls in a hotel room, with Farage there's the possibility of someone really lamping him. That just about shades it for me.

Aw, this is sweet (and one of the most read stories on The Irish Times today):

Irish woman explains why she wanted to kiss Jean-Claude Juncker

In line with Sophocles'/Longfellow's "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad", we'll drive the Brexiteers over that cliff first with all these lovely pro-EU stories.

lol. One boss in Europe was great at saying there is a special place in hell for the democratic voters of the UK. It reminds me of another boss in Europe who refused to excommunicate Hitler from his flock, even though he said there was a special place in hell for a woman who had an abortion after being raped.

So I do not listen much to bosses in Europe any more, be they head of the EU or the Catholic Church.

In all fairness, and I'm no personal defender of Tusk, that's nowhere even close to what he said or meant to say either figuratively or literally. All he said was if you want to leave then you should try and organise some sort of functioning exit plan before you go, not after. The wishes of the "democratic voters of the UK" (ie England and the sorry remains of what the English people think is their empire) are being respected. They want out, so they are getting out. No issue there. "Special place in Hell" is just a figure of speech and you're just being obtuse if you don't see it as such.

He didnt say that. He criticised Brexiteers that pushed Brexit without a plan, Gove, Farage Johnson et al, NOT voters

Ah it is a weirdly aggressive phrase still though. I think everyone knows it's a figure of speech but it's more like what you'd expect to be said about e.g. Ted Bundy. (I'd very much be a remainer btw).

Juncker would be great craic and would probably have some cracking stories. Farage would be like getting stuck next to your racist oul pisshead uncle at a wedding.

Its quite fitting given the context though. The British Governement is pushing a self destructive policy of ignorance and stupidity for no gain and doesnt seem to care about what damage it causes. It also seems to back the interests of malicious parties in willing to allow a crashout to happen and disregard all reason and logic.

The likes of Farage are a cancer of this existence who dont care how much damage they cause and hopefully they get their comeuppance for it.

Wait did he say a special place in hell or a place in the special hell?

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Juncker loves his EU and I'd foresee choppy waters, when the drink gets flowing. Farage would be good fun, I reckon. Neither would come close to Boris Yeltsin in the crazy stakes.
