No and no,  Farage is an MEP so obviously higher ranking than you or I, like it or not he was voted in, we weren't.

How can he make brexit work, over and above me and you? Hes not going to show up to much st Brussels , im not sure May (or corbyn) will listen to him and the EU think hes a ****. 

 

Unless of course you're suggesting MEPs do have power and influence, which makes everything farage says is a load of rubbish.

Ha ha ha, apparently Fartrage went into meltdown on the Andrew Marr show, whining that the BBC don't invite him into their studios enough.

I was surprised at Marr for being slightly critical of Fartrage. I think Fartrage was too, he must have got used to the bum licking Fiona Bruce gave him on Thursday's QT.

Anyway, here's the said interview with old frog features:

He shows up enough to make people listen, how often do you or I.

Whether or not Corbwhine or Maybe  listen to him he's not doing either of them a favour at the moment, so I'm sure he has influence.

You may not have noticed but its that same 97% that are all for keeping us tied to the EU, whilst Farage is trying to vote himself out.

The 97% included all the Tory eurosceptic MEP and all the members of the various EU27 eurosceptics parties UKIP is allied with in the EU parliament.

 

Do you think putting pharmaceutical companies' profits ahead of safer drugs prescribing and saving the NHS money is a good idea - as at least one UKIP MEP did?

Which you omitted in your rantings, 

the NHS and saving money don't go together, probably brought about by those who you revere.

Not rantings and I was just pointing out that even eurosceptics can admit that sometimes the Eu has its uses.

 

During the bird flue scare the UK government spent about £500 million on Tamiflu. A later review of the drug revealed that it would provide no more benefit than a couple of paracetamol. If legislation had been in place at the time the UK government would have saved £500 million on that alone. Knowing other drugs are ineffective would save even more. That's before the issue of drug companies hiding details of dangerous side effects - leading to patient harm.

 

I revere the people campaigning for the release of full information about drugs trials. You seem to prioritise drug company profits.

"We don't allow links direct to political party websites or to sites that spread spurious stories for political influence at any time "

 

Surely that discount Sheffield Forum as the amount of Fake news on this relating to Brexit is out of proportion

Nige is on QT tonight.

 

It is mildly ironic that the BBC sack Danny Baker for a borderline racist tweet, but are happy to give airtime to a proper, old fashioned racist.

Bit harsh on Comrade Corbin that .

Would that be the one who brought to attention  big pharma lobbying in the EU, seems like you may have that the wrong way around.

 

"Nigel Farage was asked whether he believed that it was worth risking the pharmaceutical industry worth billions of pounds and thousands of jobs, he said: "I don't buy the fact that a pharmaceutical company is in Britain because it's in the EU.

"I have to say that I'm not wholly happy with the way that much of the pharmaceutical industry has behaved."

He criticised the pharmaceutical industry for putting alternative medicines out of business and lobbying in Brussels.

"Only 12 % of the entire British economy is exports to the EU," he said. "Our biggest industry isn't pharmaceuticals. It's financial services of all kinds."
