    Look it up for yourself and report back.

      None. It was a speech he gave to his believers at a club...

      "But if they don't deliver this Brexit that I spent 25 years of my life working for, then I will be forced to don khaki, pick up a rifle and head for the front lines."
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        What was the full statement that he gave?
        Where in his statement, or in the question, does he talk about returning to politics?


        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          What do you think he meant by "Front Lines"?

              Well, if he had meant "front benches", he'd have said "front benches"
              If he'd meant "in politics" then maybe somewhere in his rally he'd have mentioned that.

              Maybe it was all an allegory and he didn't mean "working at LBC" or "visiting the White House"?

                The contextual use of 'rifle' and 'khaki' make his intent very clear.

                  As long as I didn't conflate the leader of the Brexit Party with the former leader of UKIP, then at least I can sleep safe at night.

                    I hope we have not made Bean sad again.

                      Are you saying that the leader of The Brexit Party has never had any link with any far right organisations, neither have any of his followers?

                      Neither.

                      I'm saying the Brexit party is not classified as a far-right political party, by anyone other than you apparently...

                      Even McDonnell only calls them a stepping stone to the far-right, but does not actually outright call them far-right

                      You seem to be extrapolating the labelling of Farage, to a whole party.

                      I doubt ~30% of the active voting electorate, voted Brexit party because the party or themselves were 'far-right'.

                      Still, don't let up, try and tar people for voting in a certain way....I'm sure there will be no negative consequences, a la deplorables en USA...
