With regards to Wisbech comments on the banks commercial decision on cancelling Nigel. Firstly "the controversial views" he holds. I would also add that nat west is 45 percent owned by the government for which coutts are part of. I think that's relevant. Having a bank account is not really a choice. What seems to have happened in society is a bait and switch. Get people reliant on Certain things and then take them away for being a non compliant person. You tube did the same thing. Yes there are other platforms. But once banned from you tube you are less relevant. Edited by Mattconrov (28 Jul 2023 1.15pm) 39% owned by Government I think what grinds many people's gears is that old froggy face is such a smug git. He just likes to pick a fight, it's the only thing he's good at. Meanwhile NatWest makes mad profit and everyone with a mortgage is in the do-do. So instead of addressing the underlying and hugely important issue, froggy face gets everyone distracted on a total side-line that largely is about him. Somehow he managed to do that with Brexit too, convincing fishermen they would get back the quotas they lost (mainly by selling them off) and farmers that the UK version of support would be preferable to the EU version. Neither of those groups sees things quite the same now. And that leaves immigration, where do we start on that one... So he is master at getting others to engage with his own petty little battles whilst Rome, and the planet, burn.

I will say that Wisbech has establishment views not controversial by government standard. That's up to him. Not critical of him for that exactly. Myself, I am very controversial. So I'm told. It's not his viewpoint in these current times that are under threat. It's those who question the narrative. Although the cabal will get round to everyone eventually. Edited by Mattconrov (28 Jul 2023 4.59pm) Edited by Mattconrov (28 Jul 2023 5.04pm) I don’t think he believes in half of what he says. He’s just a daft provocator really.

You talk as though Farage has had any say the way the government has sold out our fishermen and done nothing about immigration. Edited by georgenorman (28 Jul 2023 5.20pm)

Edited by georgenorman (28 Jul 2023 5.20pm) No, I talk as though Farage sold a total fairy tale from start to finish. Some aspects of what he sold people were never at all feasible. Others were never likely due to the politics, especially those surrounding the fractious and factionalised Conservative party. And others because they were always going to do massive damage to the economy and, needless to say, the economy fought back. By the way, would you like to buy a bridge? Or perhaps some double glazing?

What remainers don't want to talk about is how we were conned back in the early seventies to go into a single market. This then through undemocratic treaties became the monster taking over Europe. People who wanted Brexit (not the government obviously) were not against trading with other European countries. They were against being ruled by a group in Belgium who had become their defacto government.
" You're not laughing now are you". Nigel Farage 2016. |

It seems the wider population deem your views to be controversial. Maybe we could do a vote on the HOL. "Are wisbechs views controversial?" Im sure it will be an overwhelming yes. Even at that I would not want you to be banned or have your assets seized, or bank accounts closed. As you have a right to have your views even tho they are controversial and not what the wider population think. Anyways I have really enjoyed your meltdown over Farage so please continue. I have no doubt what the result of a vote on me here would be. Which rather proves my point. My views are very middle of the road, neither left or right. I dislike both extremes. So I disagree. The wider population would be much more in agreement than the majority group here. This place is no more representative of the wider viewpoint than Reform is. Just because Brexit managed to con enough people to pass doesn’t mean those who were mugged by it all think like hard-line Farage puppets.

-------------------------------------------------------- I very rarely get involved in these conversations. But I feel compelled to sometimes contribute. Unfortunately both yourself and others become far too emotional when debating. It doesn't need to be personal. I might just add that if people were a little less emotional, your views would be dismantled quite simply. I look forward to chatting with you more. Edited by Mattconrov (28 Jul 2023 12.48pm) If you feel that a strong dislike of uncaring, hard-right politics and a passion to do a little bit, when I have the time, to pour ridicule on them, is too emotional then I plead guilty. I love my country and want to see it safe and free of prejudice for those who follow me.
